What's New....North Star should have Asian pears available all through the fall, plus an
ever-changing variety of unique and heritage apple varieties. Apple
and Asian pear cider should be available every week. North Star will also have assorted veggies, as usual.
Later in October, orders for a very tasty storage apple, Gold Rush, can be placed for the November harvest. All the info (and the order form) will be
posted on North Star's website.
Sue Miller of Birchrun Hills Farm will have Bockwurst, a traditional veal sausage, and Stuttgarter, a blend Randy's veal and Jesse's pork to make the best german frank.
Whole Hearted Baking Co. will be bringing Sugar Crackle Pear
Muffins made from fresh local organic pears, apple pies made with this year's
organic Smoke House apples, 100% Spelt Sandwich Loaves with whole and white
spelt flours, & Eddie's Pumpkin Bars along with their regular
fare.
Oley Valley Mushrooms are available in abundance!
Cressley's Greenhouse will have a supply of pumkins- cinderella, Jack O'lantern, pie pumpkins, gourds, and more.
John and Kira's will (hopefully) have a handful of their Mint Patch chocolate bars. Made with real mint from three urban school gardens in
Philadelphia and infused into 62% dark Valrhona chocolate to create incredibly unique bars. All profits from the sale of these
delights will be donated to the three gardens with which they work. They could only make 500 and have sold out, but they might have a a few saved for the market!

Recipe
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chili Dressing
Jack's Farm has some delicious sweet potatoes!
4 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, preferably red, chopped
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh hot chili, like jalapeņo
1 clove garlic, peeled
Juice of 2 limes
2 cups cooked black beans, drained (canned are fine)
1 red or yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put sweet
potatoes and onions on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons
oil, toss to coat and spread out in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until potatoes begin to brown
on corners and are just tender inside, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from
oven; keep on pan until ready to mix with dressing.
2. Put chilies in a blender or mini food
processor along with garlic, lime juice, remaining olive oil and a
sprinkle of salt and pepper. Process until blended.
3. Put warm vegetables in a large bowl
with beans and bell pepper; toss with dressing and cilantro. Taste and
adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature, or
refrigerate for up to a day.
Yield: 4 servings.
