THIS WEEK'S PRODUCE
& OFFERINGS:



The temps are finally cool enough during the night that soil temperatures have dropped down a degree or two to allow for spinach germination. Last year it was near impossible cos it stayed warm through to October and our first plantings had spotty germination and then we had those heavy rains and what germinated got waterlogged. Providing the weather cooperates we'll have delicious spinach by early November. It may not sound that exciting until you try our spinach and then you'll be just as excited as we are! 

Our fall seedings have been right on schedule, the first radishes are here, followed by multiple successions to follow. Radishes grown in the fall and winter are the perfect spice, hot soil makes hot radishes and cool soil makes perfect radishes. Thanks to our hardworking and dedicated farm crew comprised of Trevor & Holly - they are doing an exceptionally good job at keeping everything organized, weeded and planted!



Come see for yourself on our last Garden Tour of the year.
Saturday October 5th.
We'll meet at Outer Aisle, Douglas Flat at 10:30, tour the farm with Eric and have lunch at the Cafe.

RECIPE of the week

 
MAPLE GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HAZELNUTS

Prep + cook time: 20 minutes. Walnuts are a great substitute if you don't have hazelnuts or don't really care for them. You can broil them for 2 minutes at the very end if you want them extra crispy and brown (careful not to burn the nuts though). Serves 2-3

About 10-12 Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons of chopped hazelnuts or walnuts
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder

Preheat to 400°F
In a bowl, toss nuts with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Set aside
Slice off very bottom portion of stem and remove any damaged outer leaves. Cut in half. Place in bowl and toss with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Place cut side up on a well greased baking sheet. Bake covered for about 5-7 minutes or until they start to just soften.
Leave oven on, but remove partially cooked sprouts and toss in bowl with maple and nut mixture. Spread maple coated sprouts and nuts across baking sheet again and continue to bake uncovered until crispy brown (about 5-7 minutes). You can broil a couple minutes if they aren't browning enough on bake, but keep an eye on them to make sure the nuts don't burn.
