Hi there!
It's time for Week 5-- this delicious bag should hold you over until New Year's!
This unseasonably warm December has given a wee boost to your bags this week: for the omnivores, we have a delicious whole chicken for roasting, as well as loads of root vegetables and squashes and even some greens. When you're making your leftover sandwiches, you'll be able to slice up some thick layers of our Whole Wheat Bread (featured in everyone's bags.) And for dessert? Some Summery sweet canned peaches, put up at Wholesome Valley Farm.
For the Vegetarians among us, we have a beautiful, filling stuffed Acorn Squash entrée, and loads of other veggies to fill up the bag. If you're looking for some more inspiration, check out our Pinterest Boards Fall Recipes and Vegetarian Recipes to change up your routine.

First things first: here are some important details about the Winter Share.
Next week (the week of Christmas), is an off week for the Winter Share.
Just a reminder there are no pick ups next week. Your next bags will be ready and waiting for you December 30th-January 2nd.
YES-- there will be deliveries on New Year's Eve & New Year's Day.
On each of the Winter Stops's Pages, we have listed each of the pick up days. It looks like this (Westlake):

Now when you print a recipe, it won't be 5 billion pages!
We have a gotten a lot of feedback on our new Recipe Section on the website, and it's a relatively new piece of software that still has some kinks to work out. We have spoken with the developer and made some improvements: now the pictures do not print along with the recipe, so they are much shorter and take up much less paper.
We still have some changes we'd love to see, but we're making progress!

Pasture Raised Turkeys
- $65
These were the stars of the Thanksgiving feast this year, and we still have some that weren't quite big enough for harvest a few weeks ago.
All of our turkeys are pasture-raised, and their diet is supplemented with non-GMO small grains and have never been treated with hormones or antibiotics. They average around 20 lbs and are $65 each.
The turkeys available for Holiday Ordering are frozen because the delivery is a week in advance of Christmas. Allow your turkey 4-5 days to thaw in the fridge before roasting (and it can stay in your fridge, once thawed, for up to 7 days.)

Beautiful, wooden apple crates hand-packed with straw and a variety of six different types of some of the most delicious apples Ohio can grow, all from Eshleman Fruit Farm in Clyde, OH. Each box measures 15" x 12" x 7" and is full of about 24 apples (depending on size.) These would make a great gift for teachers, a healthier office holiday treat, or as a host or hostess gift. Pair it with this beautiful book-- Apples of Uncommon Character: a long photo and poem dedication to the heirloom apple. $25 and supplies limited to only 50 gift boxes.

Pope's Kitchen Hot Sauce Trio - $15
Clark and his staff were busy all Fall cutting and putting up hot peppers to make delicious sauces. All of the sauces were produced with locally grown hot peppers, and in this 3-pack (5 oz bottles) we are offering three of his most popular flavors:
Burning River (medium)- this well-balanced hot sauce combines the body and sweet characteristics of vine-ripened Ohio tomatoes that have been cooked into a paste and blended with a medium-hot/hot sauce of a blend of local peppers.
Smoking River (hotter)- jalapeño peppers are smoked over hickory wood chips before being cooked down into a smokey hot sauce with attitude.
Whiskey River (medium-hot)- this sauce was aged in a bourbon barrel and cooked down with American bourbon.
All three bottles are presented in a gift box that can be gifted as-is or is ready to wrap. Just $15 per set.

Wooden Cheese Board
- $30
Our cheese board is a custom-made wooden cutting board fashioned from reclaimed wood by a local artist.
Bundled together with a large piece ofBloomfield Brie (camembert) from Mayfield Road Creamery and a bottle of Pope's Strawberry Balsamic Sauce. Try baking the brie with the sauce on top- a delicious and instant Happy Hour appetizer.
