Week 3-Double Share!

This week's pickup was a double share because of Thanksgiving next week.  Wow.  I forget how much you get with a double share.  It's overwhelming.  Here is what we picked up:

2 butternut squash
1 leek
2 green cabbages
2 bunches bok choy
1 bunch collard greens

 AND 12 lbs root veggies of your choice...I chose:

2 sweet dumpling squash (we love these!)
1 kabocha squash (a Japanese squash, new to us!)
2 red onions
4 yellow onions
3 pounds carrots
3.5 pounds assorted potatoes (yum!)

The first group of veggies were either featured veggies that you had to take or structured choices-similar to how the summer share is set up.  The second group is typical of the winter share where its a free for all-you pick what you would like.  Later in the winter when the greens are gone or scarce, we usually pick up 24 pounds of root vegetables at a double share pick up :)

Recipes to come...!
