Dear CSA Member,

A special Thank You to all the CSA site coordinators! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication this 2017 season. It has been a wonderful year and we are looking forward to the spring of 2018.

****Order soon because items a lot of items are now being Sold Out.
Delicata Squash- This week you will be getting Delicata Squash! This has been a high member request! This squash can be baked like the regular butternut and has a taste very similar to a sweet potato. Just delicious!
This week you will also be getting Celeriac, Carrots, Potatoes, Kale and, Collard Greens. These are all great items to add to a soup considering these cold temperatures that we will be experiencing these next few days! You will also be getting Pop Corn and Brussels Sprouts again this week. I have added directions below for both of those items.
Brussels Sprouts: This week you will be getting Brussels Sprouts. Below is information on how to prepare the Brussels Sports.
Use a paring knife to separate the sprout from the stalk.
Trim the base of each sprout close to the bottom but, not too close that the sprout starts to come apart.
3. Peel away and discard any browning or blemished leaves.
4. You are now ready to cook the Brussels Sprouts.
Pop Corn:
Take the kernels from the cob (by twisting both hands on the cob the kernels will fall off)
Use 1/2 cup of kernels for a large bowl of pop corn or 1 corn cob
Add 1tbl. of oil to large pot with lid.
Add popcorn and cover (do not lift cover until all of the popcorn is popped. If you lift the lid the popcorn will not pop!)
5. Add butter, salt or your favorite and Enjoy.
Again, Thank You and we hope you have a Safe, Healthy and Warm Winter Season!
Warm Wishes,
Candice for Everyone at Stoneledge Farm
