Although Winter Farm Share Week 3 brings us many delights, it’s the tart apples bursting with flavor that excite me. Many winter share weeks we receive a different variety of apple and I can’t wait to taste each one. We aren’t always told the names so I called these speckled apples because they’re greenish yellow…

Winter Farm Share Week 2 surprised me with a huge rack of Pork spareribs. We couldn’t figure out how to split them for the two families so mom took them home to her freezer. Getting together and roasting them for one of our card playing nights sounds good. I think I have some sauce here…

Winter Farm Share began the first week of November with a gorgeous array of vegetables and a whole chicken. We elected to get the Omnivore share this winter. Last year we played with the Vegetarian Pilot program from Fresh Fork Market. We’ve been living on a Vegan or Vegetarian farm share for over a year…

Summer Farm Share Week 22 ends the season with Brussels Sprouts. My favorite! I can’t believe we’ve been living off a farm share and tracking it for over a year. We start our second winter season with the farm share next week. This winter we’re experimenting with the Omnivore share, instead of the Vegetarian Pilot…

Summer Farm Share Week 21 reminds me how much I love the delicious apples we get at this time of year. They make the best late night snack when I’m craving something  sweet. Some good cooking going on this week! Week 21 of our small summer Vegetarian farm share included (featured photo at the top…

Summer Farm Share Week 20 brings us Celeriac Root and Red Kuri Squash, two fun veggies to play with. I love putting Celeriac in with soup, so I plan to make a big pot of Chicken and Vegetable Soup in the slow-cooker this week. The Celeriac leaves will go into the freezer to use this…

In Summer Farm Share Week 19, the dark green of the Cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae) family of squashes is so rich. When mixed in with the varied hues of red, along with the vibrancy of the paler greens, it can be quite stunning. I had to play with black and white as backgrounds to make the riches…

Summer Farm Share Week 18 is bountiful with the blues of Brassica oleracea, the species for cabbage, broccoli, kale, kohlrabi and cauliflower. It’s funny how some  weeks just stand out in color and you can tell they’re similar even if you don’t know why. I happen to be very partial to blue-green plants, including herbs…

For Summer Farm Share Week 17 (week of September 19, 2016), I requested a Vegan bag. I have so much pasta in my freezer from past shares. It’s strange, but we don’t eat much pasta at home. That’s probably because we have the best place for pasta within driving distance. That means it’s usually my…
