The snappy taste of a fresh apple is like biting into the crispness of fall. YUMM! Our Harvest Home Farmers’ Markets are full of apples freshly picked by our local farmers for the best taste.
Some are for carving. Some are for eating! Delicious in muffins, bread, or pancakes. Pumpkin adds creamy flavor to smoothies, and soups or makes a mouth-watering meal (See recipes). It’s nutritiously rich, high in fiber, and low in calories.
Amazing Winter Squash: White Delicata and Sweet Dumpling with green strips. Pale yellow Butternut. Dark green, round Acorn. West Indian Calabaza and surprising Spaghetti Squash! They look like decorations, but their real beauty lies on the inside.
We all need veggie nutrition, especially kids. But, “kids don’t like veggies.” Actually, kids don’t like bland, boring veggies. A bit of seasoning, a little fun, and a few “sneaky” tricks can get your whole family eating more veggies.
Winter is on its way! And the Harvest Home Farmers’ Markets are closing on November 22nd. Stock up now on freshly picked, locally grown veggies and fruits. Buying extra veggies for the future means you get better, healthier veggies in the weeks ahead and saves you money if using SNAP, WIC or EBT.
Rain, snow, warm days and cold the next day, is the winter announcing its end. In the meantime, let’s root for those root veggies that give us what we need to get through this crazy season. Carrots, beets, turnips, and sweet potatoes are colorful bundles of nutrition that add a crunchy taste to your meals while they perk up your body.
