November 09, 2015 winter solstice

Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune’s bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Dear Friends,
Winter Solstice nears (the shortest day and the longest night of the year) and farmers are drawn indoors, where there is light in the early evening. I enjoy scientific essays when there’s time, and I recently scanned Rachel Carson’s beautiful essay, The Sunless Sea. Her descriptions of our oceans and the life within are still riveting reading. And it makes me think of how I still revel in the complexities of good soil, teeming with its natural complexities.
Your ingredients this week reflect fall bounty.  Butternut squash that is delicious grilled, baked or made into soup.  Broccoli is always a welcome food..nutritious and versatile.  Call or email me if you’d like suggestions or recipes.  Your opinions and remarks are always welcome.
As we’re heading into our holiday season and some of you will be traveling, please remember the farm continues on with it’s cycles of planting and harvesting.  Your continued support of our production is valued and we’ll be here when you come back.  Our local military families benefit from your delivery donations and it helps with securing the security of the farm.
So enjoy your items in good health and happy cooking.
