GROWING Season Update Sept 3, 2015

Winter Squash Harvest Time, Law Family Farm is harvesting their winter squash. Koleine Law says it has been a totally uneventful year for growing. They did not have to battle squash bug, powdery mildew, squash vine borers or cucumber beetles. They will be having a total of five varieties this week on the website, butternut, delicata, spaghetti, carnival and buttercup. The picture above is some squash that was sold this week. Tasty Yummy Winter Squash, cooked in the oven is the perfect thing to have to warm you up as the weather cools down.

APPLES FOR THIS WEEK. Almar’s are now picking Ginger Gold apples and they have a lot of Paula Red apples available. Fresh cider should be coming soon, the only hiccup is that the cider press is not working properly. As soon as they expert repairmen arrives they will be pressing fresh cider again. They have won awards in the past for their cider. They like to mix a variety of apples that include tart and sweet to acquire excellent flavor. Into the year as the apple changes the flavor slightly changes.

John Simmons from Farm-boy Flapjacks has introduced a new flavor of chips made to his specifications from his very own open pollinated certified organic corn that he grew. The chips are in a seal-able zip lock back. To top it all off he offers a money back guarantee on any bag that is stale. Which is pretty phenomenal considering the high humidity we have in this state. Remember they do not contain any preservatives. How cool is that.
