The Great Pumpkin

Great surprise at our last CSA Pick-up of the season at Wolfe Spring Farm!

And the winner of the pumpkin is…..SAM

Sam on the Great Pumpkin: half his height and double the weight

We knew that we wouldn’t have pumpkins in our pick-up this year as June had said they lost their crop earlier this summer. But not ones to disappoint, June & Jim picked up a giant one at another local farm in Sheffield. Here’s the little guy sitting atop his pumpkin (I know, gratuitous shot of Sam)

What I’ve got on tap thus far:

• Freekeh Pilaf revisited
• Roasted butternut squash
• Homemade vegetable stock (have not made in ages and so happy to prepare and freeze)
• Crispy Caramelized Brussel Sprouts
• Leek & Shiitake Mushroom Risotto

And a complete snapshot of today’s last pick- up:

Thank you, Jim & June for a great season! We can’t wait til next May.
