We hope that everyone is having a wonderful New Year.  We are busy on the farm planning for this coming year.  We are working through planting schedules, seed orders, CSA products, and design of our new commercial kitchen.  We hope to have our kitchen operational by the start of market season this year. 

If you have any suggestions of new crops or products you would like to see from us this year we would appreciate your suggestions.  We also wanted to remind everyone that we have open our CSA signups for the 2012 season.  Signups will be open until February 28th.  We thank all of your support and look forward to seeing you all this year.  The first market will be here before we know it.  Thanks and have a blessed week.

Here is the recipe for the Butternut Squash Soup from our Farm Tour!  Hope you enjoy!

 

Butternut Squash Soup

Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients
1/2 pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeded
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup onion sliced thinly
3 garlic cloves sliced
2 cups chicken broth
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
Fresh Thyme leaves for garnish

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spray a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil. Place butternut squash cut side down in prepared dish. Pierce with a knife several times. Bake at 400 degrees F. until tender, for approximately 35 minutes. Remove from oven, scrape the butternut pulp into a bowl; discard the peel.

In a large saucepan melt butter over medium high heat, sauté the onion and garlic stirring constantly for approximately 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, roasted butternut pulp, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer for 30 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cream, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return butternut squash mixture to the saucepan stirring constantly over medium heat (do not boil) until heated through and serve.

Garnish if desired by drawing initials of your guests on top the butternut squash soup with the remaining 1/4 cup cream; sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve.

Hello All,

We wanted to touch base with those of you who still have market credit.  Under normal circumstances you have until the end of the regular market season in October to use your market credit.  They normally do not transfer or roll over into the winter or next season.  We have decided to extend the time you can use your credits since there was missed markets due to weather.  There are special markets during the month of November and you can use your credits during those markets.  After those markets are over the credits cannot be used.  We appreciate your understanding and patience with us.  

Thank you again for your support!

Hello Everyone,

We wanted to remind everyone that this is the last week of CSA pick up and the market season.  We would like to thank all of you for your support of our farm.  We hope to see you at some of the special markets throughout the rest of the year.

Again this year we will be doing our winter vegetables.  Please watch for updates on the ordering process this year!  Our pick up place has changed this year to Great Harvest Bread!

For the Wednesday CSA customers, we will be at the market this Wednesday even if there is bad weather!

Thank you all again for a great season!

We hope that everyone is beating the heat this week.  It is quite tough to stay out of it when there is much to be done around the farm.  Neil and the workers have been working very hard and this heat is just the icing on the cake.  We love and enjoy what we do to provide fresh produce and we hope that you are loving the rewards from it!

We want to invite any and all of you to come visit the farm if you would like.  We are open about our production and welcome you!

I am going to try and post more often to keep everyone informed of the different things going on around the farm.  I will try each week to post a new blog.  Hope you enjoy and if you have any suggestions please let us know.

Hello All,

We would like to thank everyone of our loyal customers who have taken the time to sign up early for their CSA's.  This helps out our farm tremendously in some of our upfront costs for the season.  We are looking forward to having a great market season with each and everyone of you this year! 

Everything is moving along as we prepare for the first market of the season.  We have been very busy around the farm doing everything from getting our seeds started each week to maintaining our winter vegetables to installing our new bio mass boiler system.  

As the deadline for CSA Member sign up has come and gone, we have decided to extend our season sign up until March 31st.  As in us doing this extension, you will be required to pay in full at the time you sign up. We have decided that we would like to extend the season so it gives you the opportunity to sign up if you are still interested. 

Again, thank you for those who have signed up already and for those of you who take the opportunity and sign up.  We are very excited to be able to provide each of you our fresh produce each week.  If at anytime you would like to visit the farm, please let us know and we would be more than happy to show you around!

Thank you,

We would like to thank all of our customers who have already signed up for their CSA.  The time is coming near for our CSA enrollment to close for the 2011 growing season.  Our closing date will be on Feburary 28, 2011.  If you have made your first down payment, then your final payment is due on or before March 15th.  If you choose to wait until March to sign up, we have the right not to accept the any member due to availability.  If there is availability and you sign up in March the full amount is due at the time you sign up.

We look forward to meeting all of our new customers and seeing all of all our existing customers.  Thank you again for supporting our family farm!

Thank you,
