The time has come- we've reached the final week of our Summer/Fall CSA Shares! If you're joining us for Winter Shares, we’ll see you next week. But for some of you, we know this is maybe goodbye for now. We're grateful that you chose Root 5 Farm for your weekly source of fresh food. We hope you had some fun in the kitchen and enjoyed many delicious Root 5 inspired meals throughout the season.
Don't forget to stock up on storage vegetables before you go! We’ve got a variety of winter sqush, yellow onions, potatoes, carrots, and beets. Be sure to check out our Guide to Long Term Winter Vegetable Storage to ensure the longest shelf life of your vegetables.
It’s also not too late to sign up for winter shares if you’d like to keep this good thing going for a few more months!
Tips and Tricks
3 Ways to cook Winter Squash:
-Roast it in the oven: Nice for making mashed squash or purees. Takes the longest time to cook, but you don't have to peel it!
-Steam it: For adding cubes to a dish (ex: salads or risotto)
-Cook it directly in a pot: Great for soups!
Did you know? You can substitute most winter squash. A lot of recipes call for Butternut, but if you don't have it, you can easily use Honeynut or Kabocha. It might even be tastier!
