THIS WEEK'S FOOD

It's Time

Good Chilly October Morning friends!

This week the Topsfield fair kicks off to the delight of thousands of fairgoers and the general grumblings of grumpy locals such as yours truly. If giant pumpkins, fried butter on a stick and twirling rides that will push the limits of your intestinal fortitude aren't your thing, may I suggest some farm events?

Our friends at Iron Ox F arm in Hamilton, MA are hosting a pop up market; pottery, plants, pizza and snacks on the front lawn of their beautiful farm.

Next weekend Brookford Farm is hosting their Pumpkins and Puppets event. Pack the kids into your sensible Subaru and head north for some wholesome farm fun.

Just a few other ways to support the farms that put deliciousness on your plates every week.

Also! It's Turkey Time! Hold onto your pumpkin spice lattes because Thanksgiving is almost here! Reserve your bird now--limited quantities available!

This year's turkeys will be from Misty Knoll Farms in New Haven, VT. Turkeys will be delivered frozen. If you have a Tuesday share you can switch to Saturday to ensure it can defrost and brine.

We are also offering whole chickens from Feather Brook Farms. Known as the Cadillac of chickens, some of our customers have referred to this as the tastiest chicken they've ever had. Chickens will also be delivered frozen.

Stay tuned for pies, sides, and vegetarian options. There will be plenty more to choose from.

Have a wonderful weekend folks!
Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner Fam

Recipes

Fried Fish Sandwich - I love a fried fish sandwich. And shallow frying is the way to go here so cleanup isn't a massive pain in the butt.

Sausage, White Bean & Kale Soup - Hearty soup season! Generally, I find just about anything with beans better the next day. Make ahead, gently reheat, commence with the crusty bread dipping.

Ravioli With Sage Brown Butter Sauce - Classic. And so dang simple with the Deano's ravioli you Vegetarian Whole Share folks are getting. Honestly? This is even better for those of you getting the Ravioli of the Week with winter squash. (I'd top with just a whisper of grated nutmeg if I were you...)
