Wow it is already the end of September. I hope everyone enjoyed their first winter squash last week. We have a new variety in your box this week is a buttercup squash. They have delicious sweet orange flesh that is dry when cooked making it a great candidate for your thanksgiving "pumpkin" pie. The beans in this weeks box are something a little different. Don't eat the pods, it is the bean inside the pod you want so they will have to be shelled. It is called a Scarlett Runner bean and is a beautiful speckled purple to pink colour. Cook them like you would any other fresh bean (lima, fava, etc). Here is what is in your box this week:
Beets, Rodina & Red Ace
Carrots
Cucumber
Tomatoes
Peppers
Romaine Lettuce head
Cabbage, Green Charmont
Swiss Chard
Scarlett Runner Beans
