Kearsarge Mountain CSA: Week 13

Yes, another wonderful week of fantastic vegetables and limited time in the grocery store. Before I detail what I got in my CSA, I would like to give a shout out to farmer's markets that are still kicking despite the feeling that summer is behind us. Many markets are still going strong and some move indoors and continue all winter, like in Warner and Henniker. So check out what's going on with your local market!

I found some great things at the Tuesday Warner market, including soap and eggs from Michelle's Garden and gorgeous carrots and a couple bouquets of flowers from Greenhill Collective farm.

Here is what I got for week 13 of my CSA.

• Tomatoes
• Cherry tomatoes
• Lettuce
• potatoes
• Herbs (I chose parsley)
• Garlic
• Squash (with a side note saying that the skins are edible! So eat 'em up)
• Chard
• Beets

Per usual, when I got home and immediately went about properly storing the items for maximum shelf life.

The parsley and chard went in jars of water on the counter.

The head of lettuce separated into individual leaves, rinsed and stacked in a container and put in the fridge.

Potatoes went into a brown bag in the cupboard.

Onions, garlic and tomatoes in a bowl on the counter.

Squash in the crisper drawer in the fridge.

Once again, too easy to receive fresh local ingredients to be enjoyed all week long! Recipe ideas to come! :)
