Fair Shares Updates

Season 16 ends at Week 50 on March 6&7, meaning there are only SIX weeks left after this week! We have a three-week break (with a shopping day in the middle) and will resume with Season 17 on April 3&4.

Anton's Beef is going out of business and we are seeking a new beef producer. Until then, we will be getting our ground beef from Price Family Farm via Bolyards in Maplewood, who is grinding it for us.

Wk 44 Produce

The winter time can be challenging to find creative ways to use produce items you have seen a lot of already or that have been sitting in your fridge for a while.

Dehydrating apples is a great way to preserve them and bring back a crunch in that bite (see post below).

We recently used our frozen watermelon from late summer with some frozen berries and spinach to make fruit popsicles!

We have a great variety of winter squash and root veggie recipes on our website, in case you're not inspired by any of the ideas below.

Beef Stew

by Beth Sorrell

WOW! Sometimes the easiest recipe is the best. This is super versatile as well. You can play up the sweetness of the potatoes or make it savory with just a few changes. Read more

Thai Coconut Winter Squash Soup

Baby it's cold outside. How about soup? Thai red or green curry paste and coconut milk, along with cumin, and kaffir lime leaves give this winter squash soup such an alluring aroma, and the sweetness and spicy heat becomes almost addictive… Read more

Winter Squash with Sage

Sage and winter squash are a match made in heaven… Read more

Apple Chips

I have nothing against soft and chewy dehydrated apples, but once you've had a crispy, crunchy, snappy, flavorful homemade apple CHIP, you'll never be the same! Plus, the family will think you're a magician, turning unappetizing apples into the best thing they ever ate.

At this time of year, the storage apples may leave a bit to be desired in the eating-out-of-hand department, but rest assured they are perfect for apple crisp!
