Here is Shana rocking out at Eastern Market with all of our delicious vegetables. Pie pumpkins, butternut squash, radicchio, cabbage! There will be no need for heat lamps tomorrow. It will be quite warm in fact. So no light show, but all the vegetables! They don't need anything to look beautiful anyways...
Ann Arbor folks! Wednesday! At the Kerrytown market! Be there! We will be! Or, Jim rather. The day before the feast you can count on us to bring greens galore, and squash. And so many roots. Uhm, rutabaga? I just fell in love.
To note:
We are taking our annual season fall break: For all my years of farming, we have taken the week after t-day off. Let this be no exception. We will see you this Wednesday (11/27) in Ann Arbor and will then return Saturday December 7th.
Our markets this week:
Wednesday: Ann Arbor
We are hiring again! We have positions for farm crew, markets, and weeder harvesters. Check out our ads on indeed for more information.
Recipe:
RUTABAGA! Butter yellow on the inside and full of flavor, these brassica roots pack a nutritional punch. They are high in vitamin C, vitamin E, as well as potassium! And they don't lack in the flavor department. I think they are climbing up the ladder onto the platform with cabbage as my favorite vegetable.
Rutabaga Hasselback (you can also mash them, roast them, and put them in soups.)
Ingredients:
Food for thought:
We got the garlic planted! I was so relieved that I realized how worried I had been! Thank you wild November weather for making space for our Alliums! Just under a half acre tucked into the soil.
And the other big even: The full-time crew had their final day on the farm last Friday. We carved out a little extra time for hot toddy's and reminiscence. I am just blown away by how lucky we were this year to have such a badass crew of wonderful, loving, friendly, hilarious, people. People that will work a grueling day and leave feeling accomplished rather than beaten down. Send a thank you out to them with your hearts!
And for Thanksgiving. Let it be about being grateful to be together and eating a thousand good foods. Fearlessly seeking truth and owning our paths. We love to be part of your day by contributing very delicious vegetables grown in a way that you can feel good about. We hope to see you at market and that you see your family's this week. All the love from the Dividers.
