Happy New Year!
In case you still have some sweet potatoes around and want to make something decadent, I had great luck with this sweet potato pie recipe yesterday. I think you could play around with the amount of sugar given how sweet Bugtussle sweet potatoes are already.
Wishing you and yours a joyous and healthy 2010! Can't wait to hear from the farmers about their next delivery...

2009-2010 Winter Season, Week Three
December 19, 2009
This week's harvest:
kale/collards
carrots
Hakurei salad turnips
Gold Ball turnips
Yukon Gold potatoes (some red ones, too)
sweet potatoes
butternut squash
garlic
This week's farm news:
The days are like a blink right now. Here we are just a few days from the Winter Solstice already! During this darkest time of year there's not much time for anything during daylight hours. (Especially when it rains all day long, like it did on Friday.) At least that's how we often feel!
We did manage to get the squash moved over to the house from the barn so that they wouldn't freeze. Since our interns are gone, there's no one to keep a fire going in the barn - where the squash had been. So now we have some new roomates in our new bedroom - several hundred butternuts! We also rendered the lard from our hogs this week. We see many delicious pie crusts in our future! And every year the kids & I tap our sugar maple trees. It's a little earlier than usual but we missed a good sap run last December so we went ahead and did it this week. Now we've got big pots of sap cooking down on the stoves. Now if we just had a good snow we could really hunker down in our cozy cabin, surrounded by our stored food, and experience winter! Happy Holidays!

2009 Winter Season, Week Two
December 12, 2009
This week's harvest:
carrots
"Hakurei" salad turnips
Gold Ball turnips
Yukon Gold potatoes
butternut squash
sweet potatoes
kale
garlic
This week's farm news:
Brrrr! It's been a chilly week. We even had a day that did not get above freezing! Our low temperature for the week was 14 degrees. At least the sun has been shining & our cabin has been staying nice & cozy with fires blazing in both woodstoves.
So folks, we are planning to come back to town again next Saturday with another load of vegetables and some other treats. And we have next year's sign-up forms available now. [Click on the image at the bottom of this post for a copy to print out.] We are hoping to slightly expand our CSA next year (approximately 10 additional shares) & are looking for new shareholders. All of you devoted vegetable eaters are our number one means of advertising so please spread the word. Get a neighbor to sign up & you could take turns picking up the veggies. Or maybe find a friend or co-worker to share a share & save a little money by getting a bigger share size! Also remember that early registration (now through January) gives you a pretty good discount!
[Please forgive the smudge of farm dirt I brought home on my copy!:)]
