 Squash Season We are at that time in the season where squashes are one crop that's fresh from the field - and can be stored and used later retaining their fresh from the field flavor. If you're not sure how to store them, ask your farmer. These are some of the crops which saw our predecessors eat well through the winter and we could adopt that mentality staying true to eating local. You could also use what's available now to make recipes to freeze for future use. A good bet is always soup. Thus our recipe this week.
We have another new vendor joining us this week - Beau Noir MicroBakery.. They are bringing a wide variety of baked goods. They specialize in artisan baked goods using sourdough. Other offerings include soft baked pretzels, pastries, brownies, sourdough cinnamon/cardamom buns and pies/hand pies. Please welcome them. We have one more market this year on December 17th.
