New Winter Veggies This Week:

• Celeriac: The gnarly orb-like root with the green buzz cut is celeriac, one of the many under-appreciated winter vegetables that we love to introduce to our CSA members each year. Celeriac is indeed closely related to celery, with a similar - albeit more mild and "rooty" - flavor. You can eat celery raw, but it develops an added sweetness when cooked. Check out this eclectic collection of recipes from Epicurious for ideas. It's a great soup ingredient, adds depth to a sheet pan of roasted fall roots, and brings a special je ne sais quoi to mashed potatoes (boil the celeriac with your spuds and mash all together).
• Spaghetti Squash: Spaghetti squash rarely garners the glory compared to the ever-popular and super-sweet Delicata or Butternut squash, but it's not an altogether fair estimation. Spaghetti squash does something none of the other squashes do, which is impersonate spaghetti! That's great news if you want a gluten-free noodle alternative, or just a change of pace. Try this Spaghetti Squash Parmesan, which is nothing short of indulgent thanks to some fresh mozz and homemade marinara.
• Treviso Radicchio: As we roll out our fall radicchio line-up, it becomes clear just how much diversity there is among the Italian chicories. Treviso is a tight, dense, upright, football of a variety with beautiful wine-colored leaves and white ribs. This one is a joy to grow and harvest (and eat) every year. I highly recommend checking out this fantastic collection of radicchio recipes, and in particular you might want to make the Salad with Caramelized Fennel, Apples and Radicchio, given that this is the last juicy bulb of fennel you'll be getting in your share this season.

Thanksgiving Ahead!

A reminder that the farm will be closed the week of Thanksgiving. We will be harvesting and packing your "Thanksgiving Share" next week and delivering it to CSA pickup sites on our usual schedule (on November 20th and 23rd). We'll resume deliveries the week of December 2nd for the 28th and final week of the season. 

Have a great week, and hang onto your hats!
