We have a great bag in store for you all this week, with all the makings for borscht, squash soups, veggie mashes, and other sweater-weather treats. The Summer Share is almost over, but we still have room in our Winter Share, so don't forget to sign up soon to save your spot!  

The Large Share subscribers will get a jar of dill and garlic pickles from Wholesome Valley Farm-- these are a "live" product, so keep in the fridge and for the best crispy quality, use within three months. They're fine after that, they'll just get a bit softer. There are so many health benefits from eating fermented foods, and they're also tangy and delicious on sandwiches or on the borscht you might make with your beets!

And speaking of fermented foods, we also have a quart of pourable yogurt from Velvet View Farms in the Large Bags. This is a really special product for us-- Trevor met them right when they were getting started five years ago, and it was the first yogurt we carried in our share. It's made just a few feet from where the cows are milked, and is amazing in smoothies or as a substitute for buttermilk in pancakes or other baked goods. You can also use it as a marinade or a salad dressing (see our Yogurt Post, "Beyond the Parfait" here for more ideas.)
