CSA & Market Report for October 21st

Radish pods - aren't they fun?  A strange mix of sweet, watery crispness with a hot radishy bite at the end, good raw in salads or stir fried - I'll let you know what I find to do with them (these came from the Wayward Seed farm).
My CSA box this week included eggs, lettuce mix, mixed mustard and other greens, potatoes, cilantro (which I donated to another, cilantro-loving member), radishes, green tomatoes, and this cute dumpling squash:

And now, a photo montage of my other purchases, most of which came from the Wayward Seed Farm (of course, I also purchased the week's shitake mushrooms from Toby Run, and onions, peppers and Brussels sprouts from Dearsman farms, but you've seen those all a million times before).

Small purple kohlrabi:

Purple scallions and undeveloped cippolini onions:

And a nice bunch of garlic from Just This Farm, who has a new website and is currently accepting orders for turkeys, one of whom I met Saturday at the Farmer's Market.  Furthermore, they are selling boxes of many of the ingredients needed for Thanksgiving dinner for $48, so you can have a local Thanksgiving.:

Thanks for the Farm publicity Lisa! Also, Kohlrabi looks great. Word.

I'm so looking forward to that turkey and Thanksgiving box (I reserved one of each as soon as he announced it in the CSA newsletter). My goal is a near 100% local Thanksgiving this year (at least for the things that matter, because lord knows I won't find any local coconut, brown sugar, or rum for the candied yams, right?)

If you eat cheese at all, I heartily recommend stocking up on some at that cheese vendor at Worthington Market, as he won't be back until spring - next week is his last week until then. I'm planning on getting enough to get me through the winter, even if I have to freeze some.

And Kevin (Just This Farm) is also offering grass-fed beef starting in December, too.

Never heard of radish pods, but now I'm curious!
