Cooler days and nights ahead for Week 16.
The end of Summer is creeping up, and Fall is beginning to set in. Your bags are transitioning, too, and this week you'll see some of the first Fall squashes and concord grapes. If you're as excited as we are for Pumpkin Season, be sure to follow our Fall Recipe Board on Pinterest for lots of great recipe ideas.
As we close in on the end of the season (don't worry- still 6 weeks off!!) please take some time to check in on your account: pay off any outstanding balances, bring back any extra bags, and sign up for your Winter Share. We've had an awesome season with you all so far, so thanks for subscribing!
What's in the bag: this week's bag features the first butternut squashes harvested this season. Note: BE CAREFUL when cutting squash! Especially when peeled, they can be quite slippery and there are far too many incidents each year when squash season starts. Check out this helpful article from The Kitchn on cutting up butternut squash. You'll all also have a basket of Tiny Taters (small, round, yellow potatoes) and concord grapes! The grapes make a great snack (watch for seeds with your kids), or cooked into jam or a sauce. Rounding out the bags are some apples, kale, broccoli, carrots and turkey patties. The Vegan and Vegetarian subscribers will get a bunch of golden beets and some heirloom tomatoes, and our Large Subscribers will enjoy some more spelt berries, leeks, lettuce, zucchini and cabbage.

Please bring back your bags!
We have a major bag shortage right now at the warehouse, and we're especially low on orange vegetarian bags. If you wouldn't mind taking a moment and checking in your car, in your laundry, your basement, etc for extra bags, we'd really appreciate them returned as soon as possible-they're really expensive to replace!
