Squash, Ginger & News from the Farms Weekly Newsletter (October 27, 2014)

Written by Eric Siegel | Oct 27, 2014 3:38:00 PM

This week, we're continuing to celebrate Fair Trade Month and Non-GMO Month and looking forward to Halloween!

While the plump orange squash in some of this week's boxes may look like a traditional pumpkin, it's actually an organic red kuri squash. The flesh of the red kuri squash has a rich, chestnut-like flavor. This week's newsletter includes background on this exciting new squash as well as a recipe from world renowned sustainable chef, Alice Waters.

Our newsletter also features information about the young ginger coming in from Old Friends Farm - just about the only organic ginger grower in all of New England. Learn what makes young ginger special and get the latest news from our organic farm partners.
