Fall Food Box Week 8 - November 30
Fall Food Box Week 8 - November 30
With the snow its hard to believe its still fall, but luckily we can eat great fall vegetables with this week's Food Box!
Spray Free Green Cabbage from Wild Earth Farms
Peppery when raw, and sweet when cooked cabbage is a great base for salads, boiled and served with meat, or pickled for the winter!
Organic Parsnips from Oak Valley Organics
Although often compared to the carrot, there are some key differences. First of all, they are noticeably starchier than their carrot cousins. They are sweeter, too, with a nuttier flavour. But like carrots, they are excellent any way - roasted, mashed, or sautéed, shaved into salads, simmered in stews, or, yes, folded into tender, sweet cakes. All that being said, they do pair excellently with carrots.

Spray-Free Kennebec Potato from Wild Earth Farms
Whether mashed, roasted, fried, or boiled, these local spray free potatoes are a must have on the side of your dishes!
Spray-Free Red Onion from Wild Earth Farms
Red onions are on par with white onions and best used fresh, especially since the anthocyanins that produce their red color can turn blue-gray unless mixed with something acidic, like vinegar. Best to save them for sandwiches, salads, and pickles.
Spray Free Spaghetti Squash from Wild Earth Farm
One of the more common variants of squash, and for good reason! Its name is derived from the stringy goodness when cutting open one of these beauties. Try roasted, boiled, or fried!
Organic Thyme from Blue Lagoon Organics
Thyme is a beautiful herb with both culinary and medicinal purposes. Enjoy its unique flavour which is somewhat earthy, minty, and lemony.
