Seems like every week we have one “show stopper” type product and this week we are blown away by the black radishes. Mile Creek Farmover in New Lebanon, OH has been a new partner with us this year for many of your great products and this is one of their beauties.
Another cutie puh-two-ty this week are the “mini me” butternut squash. In years past we have had butternut’s that were so big they needed their own box and so we asked Andy Yoder to grow us these honeynut’s. You are going to laugh when you open the box and see these things...and you might go….”Ahhhhh, they’re so wittle.”
Everyone is going to get at least 1 jalapeno this week. I tried something last week that I will definitely do again. I cut it in half and squeezed a little of our Blue Jacket Arrowhead Chevre into it. (you could also use cream cheese) On top of that I sprinkled some of our marble cheese from Pearl Valley and then popped it in the oven at 400 for about 12 minutes. It was so good. I ate it alongside a salad and then did it again the next day with 3 jalapeno’s for lunch. It’s a quick little “treat yo-self”.
WE FINALLY HAVE WINTER PLANS FINALIZED AND WE WILL GET THAT TO YOU ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK! (planning takes about 3 weeks longer than it used to)
Last week we included a card in the box that had a Promo Code “GROCERY” on it. Lots of you redeemed them and that’s awesome. If you didn’t, you didn’t miss out...you can use it anytime over the next year but only ONCE!! It’s for $5 off your purchase of $50 or more...any yes, the price of your box counts towards that $50.
NEW ITEM OF THE WEEK...Doc’s Fusion Fuel
One of our long time members has been making hot sauces and giving them to us as presents for years. He finally combined his love of “Back To The Future” with hot peppers and made “Doc’s Fusion Fuel”. When I taste tested it, the first thing I picked up was maple, followed by smoke, followed by hot...but yummy hot.
Disclaimer: These are the items we have planned for you to get this week! However, due to the nature of... well, nature, these items are subject to change. If we are unable to put a planned item in the box we will do our best to substitute it for a cost comparable item in this box, or in a box in the future. Different size boxes allow for different items, either by type or by quantity.

Storage: Place the wrapped greens in a glass food storage container in a cooler part of your fridge, like a crisper or towards the back. This is your best bet for not only preserving your greens but keeping them the most fresh. Option two: Place your washed and dried greens in a loosely sealed reusable food storage bag.
