Double Share, Pickup 7

Pickup 7 was another double share pickup which equals two weeks worth of vegetables.  24 pounds to be exact!  It is really a lot.  I forget how much 24 pounds actually is... I kept having to add more and more! I can't say how much of everything I got since I was just focused on getting up to 24 pounds, but we got a whole bunch of...


Assorted Potatoes (love these!)
Delicata Squash
Sweet Dumpling Squash
Red and Yellow Onions
Carrots
Celeriac Root
Assorted Winter Beets
Red Rose Radishes

There are 3 more scheduled pick ups this season; a double share every other week in January.  Other pickups will be announced at a later date.  It's storage time!

Recipe ideas coming soon!

Winter Share, Weeks 4-6

We've been getting 8-12 pounds of root vegetables each week, the amount depending on whether or not greens are available for the week.  Sometimes we've been able to substitute a poundage of roots for a bunch of greens, sometimes not.  And of course the root vegetables that you take home are mostly your choice (sometimes there is a featured root that you have to take).  Here is what we have picked up the past few weeks...

Week 4

2 pounds Japanese Turnips (featured root)
3 pounds carrots
4 yellow onions
2 sweet dumpling squash
1 kabocha squash
2.5 pounds assorted potatoes
2.5 pounds assorted apples


Week 5

2 bunches bok choy
2 red onions
5 pounds assorted apples
1.5 pounds carrots
1 sweet dumpling squash


Week 6

1 large red cabbage (5 pounds)
4 small crispin apples (for Logan)
3 pounds of carrots
1 pound red potatoes
4 yellow onions
1 sweet dumpling squash
1 bag of assorted lettuce
