 Dear Friends of the Market,
Thanks so much to everyone who attended our Customer Appreciation BBQ last Saturday - the event was well attended and everyone had a terrific time. And remember, Customer Appreciation Month specials (see below) continue through September 30.
And as we calendar watchers know, fall arrived this week - and brought with it everything that makes it, well, Fall: Pumpkins, squash, even more apples, not to mention a little color in the leaves and some picture perfect weather, too. Get out there and enjoy it all while it lasts!

 Recipe
KALE AND WHITE BEAN SOUP
Who doesn't crave a good hot soup on these chilly fall days? And with fall vegetables plentiful right now, satisfying that craving and eating healthy at the same time is easy.
We like this recipe for
Kale and White Bean Soup because it is easy to whip up on short notice because all you need from the market is the kale - everything else comes right out of the pantry. This recipe is also vegetarian - but you could also add a little local sausage to really spice things up.
INGREDIENTS
2 T Olive Oil
3 or 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Medium Bunch Kale, stems removed and chopped
5 cups Vegetable Broth
2 cans (15 oz) Cannellini Beans, drained or undrained
1 can Diced Tomatoes OR 6 Fresh Roma Tomatoes, chopped
1 T Italian Seasoning
2 T Parsley, dried or fresh
Salt and Pepper to Taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Add the olive oil to a large pot. Saute the garlic and onion for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the Kale and saute for just a minute or 2 until wilted.
3. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes. Add a little more water or broth if the soup is too thick.
OPTIONAL: For an impressive presentation, lightly toast a few slices of multigrain bread (our Catskill Harvest Multigrain is excellent) and lay across the top of the soup. Sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese and place the entire pot under the broiler for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

"THE DIRT"
Garden Tip of the Week
EARLY FALL GARDENING
Part 2
A few more early fall gardening tips:1. If you haven't already done so, stop fertilizing perennials. Perennials require minimal fertilizer to begin with, and fertilizing now will encourage tender new growth - which cold weather will soon destroy.
2. If you are a "lawn person" (you know who you are!), now is the time to apply some fertilizer and weed control - look for products specifically designed for this time of year.
3. For vegetable gardeners, you can extend your harvest season by covering your plants with a sheet or landscape fabric to protect them from frost.
