Notes from the Farmhouse Kitchen
Baby farmer is just starting to eat solid foods and as of last night, his favorite is the sweet dumpling squash! I would have to agree - it is absolutely delicious! The best way to prepare the winter squash is to wash the skin well and cut in half lengthwise with a knife. Scoop the seeds out of each half and place face down in a baking dish with a few tablespoons of water. Bake, uncovered in a 350F oven until the flesh is soft. Depending on the size and variety, this takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes.

Note From the Farm
What a great share this week! A quick note on the winter squash... They should be stored on the counter, but eaten within 1-2 days. We've had some disease issues with these plants and have noticed that many of the squash have been rotting prematurely. So be sure to eat them right away!
As always, please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about your share.
