Hi folks!

    I wanted to post some pictures of some of our newest harvested items as of late. We did manage to get a little rain last week that I hope boosts our farmer’s crops. You might start receiving new types of squash that you’ve not received yet. One of those being delicata….a great tasting squash and one of my favorites.

Thanks,

Tommy

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil squash until very tender, 8-10 minutes. Lift squash out of water with a slotted spoon; cool slightly and peel. Combine cooked squash, garlic, 1/2 cup cream, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon rosemary in a food processor; process until squash is smooth. Salt to taste.
2. Bring the water back to a boil, adding more if necessary. Stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still very firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Cook until sauce is thick, 4-6 minutes. Stir in the reserved onions.

This recipe is in great demand from my friends and family. It tastes similar to sweet potato souffle, with a custard-like texture. Use with any meal that sweet potatoes seem to go with (for example, ham, pork, etc).

Hi folks,

    I want to apologize about the delay in posting pictures of some of our newest produce. We’re receiving different types of melons from our farmers now that you may have already found in your share. Corn production has suffered due to very little rain and high temperatures. We received a little rain this week but not much, maybe enough to help our farmer’s crops. Some of you may have received different varieties of squash this week….butternut to name an example. I’ll do my best to post pictures of different types of veggies as we harvest them. Hope you all are enjoying the produce! Pray for rain but just enough to boost our crops. Have a great week folks and thank you so much for being a part of our CSA.

Tommy
