HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have much to be thankful for. All the crops are finished, picked and put in storage. We have all the plots cleaned and plowed. The only thing left to do is the hoop houses. We are still getting greens out of one of them. It has been a very different and trying year, but we are still here and planning on next years crop, we are already receiving seed catalogs in the mail!

To those of you that were in our CSA program this summer, I'm sorry we had to shut down mid season, but I felt family issues were more important and needed to be addressed and I'm sorry I didn't feel I could do that with the CSA commitments. That's life and I'm very grateful and thankful to and for my family. Thanks to those of you who supported us by participating in our CSA and buy from us at Farmers' market. We couldn't do what we do without you guys, so thank you.

We hope you all have a safe and great Thanksgiving and a joyous, stress free Christmas season! Thanks!

I thought I would post my Thanksgiving sweet potato dish that I plan to fix for tomorrow. I don't have amounts as I'm a kind of dump and go kind of cook at least where casseroles are concerned.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
Sweet potatoes peeled and cubed, 1 sweet onion chunked, sliced dried apples (or fresh will work, too), peeled and chunked mangoes, salt and pepper to taste. I like heavier on the pepper than just a couple of sprinkles. Put all this in a baking dish and then drizzle with maple syrup and bake covered until potatoes are soft.

This works great also with winter squash! Hope you enjoy.
