Box #41 Honey Crisp Apples...the stuff of legend.  Traditionally the most expensive apple on the market...opinions differ widely as to whether they are the absolute best apple out there or just an overpriced, overhyped, overmarketed flash in the pan? Give us your thoughts as you try them this week. If they are NOT your favorite, maybe try either of these two for next week. The Leeks have been abundant this year and I am starting almost all my veggie dishes with them in place of onion for 2 reasons...I eat a ton of onions so it’s just a nice flavor change, and leeks are only around for a little while and I can always eat onions once they are gone. WE ARE HOSTING ON ONLINE TASTING EVENT!! Join us on the evening of Tuesday October 27th for a ZOOM Virtual Tasting and Pairing Event. The Yellowbird Foodshed will host a Vinegar and Oil tasting and pairing event in partnership with The Olive Scene from 7-8:30pm We sold about 70% of our turkeys already so if you are cooking the bird this year, make sure and get yours reserved...REMEMBER, they are “half turkeys” this year so you will NOT have to try and figure out how to cook a 30 pound bird!   Couple other fun items we have added this week.     Arugula Chef's Harvest LLC Baby Bok Choy Great River Organics Braising Greens Great River Organics Broccoli Hardin Creek Farm (Reuben) Brussels Sprouts Happy Hill Farm Cherry Medley Tomatoes Busy Bee Organics Cilantro Chef's Harvest LLC Delicata Squash Hardin Creek Farm (Reuben) Eggplant Happy Hill Farm Green Bell Peppers Happy Hill Farm Hon Tsai Tai Bradwood Farm Honey Crisp Apples Bauman Orchards, Inc.
