What's New....
JACK'S FARM will have USDA Certified Organic SWEET POTATOES and
SPINACH this week. For the English crew they'll have Brussels sprouts tops!
North Star Orchard is enjoying apple pie season! They have many recipes for their apples on their website. After a varietal tasting of apples at the information area, buy your favorites from North Star. They will have 5-6 apple varieties and 2-3 Asian pear recipes.
It's Pumpkin-Mania at the Charlestown Farm. The
pumpkins are a wonderful cooking variety called Baby Pam, but they also
make good carving pumpkins. Many folks have asked about the sweet Fall
carrots. They are looking good
and only a few weeks away from harvest. The dry spell in August and
heavy deer pressure have set them back a week or two, but they have
responded well to the recent rain and there will be plenty for the late
Fall and Winter.
Stop by Soap by Pat for pumpkin soaps. Flavors are coffee, orange, and bay rum. Available for a limited time only. Dolly's Dish is taking holiday orders and for the Holidays will be offering new items:
Pecan Sweet Potato Pie & Pecan Pie sizes 9' & 10". This week she will have banana bread, $3.00 a loaf. 484-995-7770

Recipe
Fennel & Potato Bake
courtesy of MarthaStewart
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, plus more for pan
2 medium fennel bulbs, (8 ounces each)
1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons grated hard cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
Trim fennel bulbs; halve, and core. Slice bulbs and potatoes very thin (1/8 inch thick).
Add potatoes to prepared dish in three layers, alternating with two
layers of fennel; season each layer with salt and pepper, sprinkle with 2
tablespoons cheese, and dot with 1/2 tablespoon butter. (Omit cheese
from final layer.)
Pour cream over top. Bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with
the tip of a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2
cup grated cheese; bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
