NOTES ON THE GOLDEN EARTHWORM VEGGIE SHARE
With rain in the forecast for the next few days, I’m planning on settling into my kitchen with a cup of tea and cooking! Soup is a must, and the Butternut Squash and Leeks this week will be turned into a smooth and delicate fall soup (recipe below). Former CSA member, blogger (The Wednesday Chef), and now author, Louisa Weiss, just released her first book which includes a fantastic looking tomato soup recipe (see below). I’ve already finished the book and passed it on, but not before making a mental note to try the soup this week with the Tomatoes that have been sitting on my windowsill. Yukon Gold Potatoes will be roasting in my oven with freshly snipped rosemary from the kitchen garden, and the Lettuce and Cherry Tomatoes will make a delicious salad. Oh yes, and another week of tender Green Beans, because you just can’t get enough of them while they’re fresh!
NEWS FROM GOLDEN EARTHWORM FARM
Our potato harvest has been in full swing for the past couple days. We’ll take a break during the rain and start up again when the fields have dried out early next week. The picture above is of some just-dug potatoes on their way up the conveyor belt… They’re dumped into a wagon, unloaded into crates and washed before being bagged up for your shares. You can’t get any fresher than that!
