Last CSA box of the season (from Boistfort Valley Farm)

Corn, leeks, carrots, acorn squash, purple cabbage, orange Kabocha squash, buttercup squash, yellow cipollini onions, spinach,red onions, brussels sprouts, and some dried flowers

Maybe it was the weather, but this year’s CSA was very greens-heavy, and we had a hard time getting through each box. As much as I enjoy the surprise, and being forced to cook with new things, I think next year we’ll just commit to spending the same budget at the farmers’ market each week.

CSA Box, Week 19 (from Boistfort Valley Farm)

Corn, beets, delicata squash, shallots, brussels sprouts, kale, fennel, tomatoes, farm honey

Only one more week left in this year’s CSA.

CSA Box, Week 18 (from Boistfort Valley Farm)

Corn, Ozette potatoes, carrots, yellow onions, carnival squash, golden chard, and tomatoes.

There’s corn and tomatoes, but it’s pretty clear we’re headed for winter.

Rose Finn potatoes, turnips, celery, celeriac, cauliflower, red oak lettuce, arugula, edamame, chanterelle mushrooms, tomatoes, and pumpkin!

Austrian crescent potatoes, thyme, leeks, butter lettuce, eggplant, green & purple beans, cauliflower, summer squash, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red & anaheim peppers

There is nothing wrong with your monitor. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. That really is purple cauliflower.

CSA Box, Week 14 (from Boistfort Valley Farm) 

Red onions, carrots, shell peas, cauliflower, garlic, napa cabbage, red chard, summer squash, cucumbers, and cilantro.

Brooke’s making a pea risotto for dinner tonight; I’m thinking homemade kimchi with the cabbage.

I’m a huge fan of celeriac, and the cinnamon basil smells fantastic. Homemade pho, perhaps?

PURPLE beans?!?
