Recipes


Rosemary-Butternut Squash Bisque
Adapted from a Molly O’Neill recipe printed in the New York Times Magazine, Nov. 06, 1994
Yield = 2 quarts

2 medium butternut squash
olive oil
6 cups veg or chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
kosher salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons heavy cream, optional
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and discard. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil on the baking sheet. Place the halves cut side down, rub in the oil and place in the oven. Roast until knife tender, about 45 minutes. Remove squash from the oven and let cool.
Scoop the flesh into a saucepan (discarding the skin), and add the broth, rosemary, orange zest, a big pinch of kosher salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for 30 minutes. Using an emersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning if necessary and adding the cream if desired. Serve with crusty bread.

Market News


Hello!
We are back this week with lots of good veggies as well as other offerings . Earthwind Botanicals is also back this week offering great deals on bulk soaps.

We will be delivering every two weeks until the weather breaks and the crops begin to grow faster. It is slow, slow, slow out there and you will notice quanitites are much smaller this week.
We will deliver this week, Wednesday January 30th and then in two weeks, Wednesday February 13th.

Stock up this week! Many of the items that we carry will last 2 weeks. Obviously, the meats, eggs, granola, coffee, soaps & honey will easily keep. We have often kept the bread and cookies in the freezer, although in John’s case, not very long. The bread can be sliced and frozen, so you can easily pull out what you need. We have plenty of eggs as the chickens (unlike the vegetables) are back in a productive mode!

We harvest your veggies just 24 hrs before we deliver, so they are as fresh as can be! Most of our greens and lettuces will keep up to two weeks in the fridge in a plastic bag. Since most of the vegetables in all the grocery stores come from California and beyond, by the time it is purchased by the customer who knows how long ago it was harvested. Winter squash and sweet potatoes will retain their freshness for very long periods of time.

We really appreciate your support and understanding during this winter season.
We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
