In addition to new babies and season endings, we've done a website revamp, decided to have a longer season (24 weeks) starting earlier (April 15th), put together the sign up for the summer, and written an article for a magazine. Not bad for a volunteer staff! The signups should be available in a day or two at http://www.zoegarden.com/, we're handling them all in-house this season, and I'll let you know as soon as there's more info.<br />
<br />
Thank you all so much for being with us through our first winter CSA season. David learned a lot, especially about getting more variety in the ground in the late summer so that there's a large enough volume of greens to get into the winter. Each season a little better! We're looking forward to having you in the summer.<br />

No pictures again this week. It just doesn't seem so urgent when the vegetable variety is smaller than the summer. Which is the case historically, too. The vegetables that are in season through the winter are far fewer in number and variety -- it must have been really boring and bland in the February of 1732!zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-44116889734240851162012-02-16T13:59:00.000-07:002012-02-16T13:59:06.228-07:00Winter - Week 19 (Feb 15) - updatedOK, I rescued my box.<br />

<br />
Three weeks left on the shares (and we're still adding members as you all talk about your veggies!). We're looking to make improvements for next winter and for the coming spring. Sign ups will be available for the summer shares soon, but for now we just want a little feedback from the members.<br />
<br />
Could you email me (produce@zoegarden.com) or leave a comment about the CSA generally, the shares, the variety, the timing, the quality, and especially the meat share? We're debating over putting meat into the shares for the first 4-5 weeks of the spring, while it is cold enough to leave safely, and we'd like to gauge the enthusiasm.<br />
<br />

On the whole, I think it has been pretty successful so far. While David has been serving restaurants in the winter for a couple of years, it takes a few seasons to figure out the timing / logistics / varieties that work best for a consumer level of expectations. Meat, potatoes, spinach, and winter squash seem natural for the colder months, and we all have good supplies of local staples that keeps for a few months and can be supplemented with just a little bit of green stuff from California.<br />

Being one of the original vegetarian cookbooks, they have some fantastic recipes to make use of all of our fresh produce. Here are two adapted recipes for our current winter boxes. While it isn't out of copyright yet, I'm going to risk posting them mostly in their original form with a hearty recommendation that books by the author, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_tc_2_0?rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3AMollie+Katzen&keywords=Mollie+Katzen&ie=UTF8&qid=1327034606&sr=1-2-ent&field-contributor_id=B000APA4VU">Mollie Katzen</a>, are well worth purchasing for your shelf.<br />
<br />
<b>Arabian Squash-Cheese Casserole</b><br />
<br />
2 hunks of hubbard or banana squash (from the shares)<br />
1 large onion, chopped<br />
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
1 double handful chopped braising greens (kale, chard, spinach, collards)<br />
1 package of roasted peppers (or a chopped bell)<br />
3 T butter or oil<br />
salt, black pepper, and red pepper to taste<br />
2 beaten eggs<br />
1 c buttermilk, yogurt, or soured milk (milk + 1 T lemon juice)<br />
1 c crumbled feta or cotija cheese<br />
1/4 c sunflower seeds or chopped nuts<br />
<br />
Seed the squash and roast until tender in the oven @ 375. Scoop out flesh and mash. Saute the onion and garlic in the butter (oil) until soft, then add the peppers. (Already roasted peppers just need to warm up, fresh peppers need to soften a bit.) Combine eggs, buttermilk, cheese, squash, peppers, and onions, mixing well. Season to taste, and spread into lightly greased casserole dish. Top with seeds or nuts and bake at 375, covered for 25 minutes and uncovered for an additional 10.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Gypsy Soup</b><br />
<br />
3-4 T olive oil<br />
2 medium onions, chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
2 cups chopped, peeled winter squash<br />
3 stalks celery, chopped<br />
1 cup (or can) diced tomatoes<br />
1 package roasted peppers (or 1 chopped fresh pepper)<br />
1 can chickpeas, or about a pound of leftover roasted lamb, diced<br />
3 cups stock<br />
<br />
paprika, turmeric, basil, salt, cinnamon, cayenne, bay leaf, and soy sauce to taste<br />
(I don't measure anything, and go entirely by my nose. Shoot for more paprika and go light on the cinnamon.)<br />
<br />
Saute the onions, garlic, celery, and squash in the oil in a dutch oven or soup pot until the onions start to soften. Season and add stock. Simmer until the squash starts to soften. Add the rest of the veg, plus the chickpeas (or lamb). Simmer until everything else is soft (or as done as you'd like).zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-69608602741643037202012-01-18T17:47:00.000-07:002012-01-18T17:47:30.673-07:00BorschtDinner tonight. Hearty, warm, and uses lots of fresh farm ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b>Borscht (Russian cabbage and beet soup)</b><br />
<br />
knob of butter, bacon grease, or double glug of olive oil<br />
1-1/2 cups chopped onion<br />
1 large, sliced carrot<br />
1 stalk chopped celery<br />
1 tsp caraway seeds<br />
3 cups chopped cabbage<br />
4 cups of stock<br />
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced potatoes<br />
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced beets (peeled)<br />
1 can (or cup) of diced tomatoes<br />
salt & pepper to taste<br />
1 Tbs sour cream per serving<br />
a pinch of dill per serving<br />
<br />
In a large, heavy bottomed pot, saute your onions, carrots, and celery until the onions are starting to soften. Add caraway seeds for a couple of minutes, then the cabbage for a couple of more. Add stock, potatoes, beets, and tomatoes, and boil for about 30 minutes. Season to taste, and serve with a dollop of sour cream and a pinch of dill. Probably best with a heavy rye loaf.zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-67516113037232846982012-01-17T13:09:00.000-07:002012-01-17T13:09:07.956-07:00Winter - Week 15 (Jan17/18)David said time was short, so you'll want to wash things well. Also, please return your boxes. This week's share looks like borscht again. I think I'll try out a recipe tonight and post it for you all - the weather seems appropriate as well.<br />

* The peppers are roasted, frozen versions of the peppers from the summer. They are an (unfortunately unlabeled) selection of red bell, marisol, poblano, and anaheim. None of those are terribly hot, but some bags will have a little more heat than others.<br />
<br />
** Double meat this week to help pay back the meat shares. Expect a little more lamb and rib shank in the next couple of weeks, so that larger families can gather up enough to make a full meal.<br />

Nothing new anyway, but after getting off the plane, it was all I could do to get the veggies in the fridge. I know I'm getting a minor backlog of winter squash, and even though it keeps great, we want to use it up. I will post some tested recipes for winter squash tomorrow.<br />

David says this week was a little light (volume-wise) because of the honey. It retails for $15 a jar. He wanted to change it up a little as the waves of greens and salad stuff come and go. Expect it to increase a little in variety and volume again as the weeks progress.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm on the road traveling and won't be there to pick up my box. The share list will go up tomorrow (Wednesday).zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-33138693753758117222011-12-21T09:15:00.000-07:002011-12-21T09:15:23.271-07:00Of meat and frozen fruit...The meat processor is finally accepting the animals today, and they should be traveling on to the butcher's this week. David is really sorry for the delay, and has been repeatedly frustrated. The number of small processors and butchers available to local growers has continued to shrink as big-agra has consolidated animal operations. You'll get your money's worth in the end, but when you're expecting a little meat each week, a long dry spell followed by a huge pile is less than satisfying. Apologies from the farm.<br />
<br />
How are you all enjoying the fresh frozen fruit? I say fresh because David's wife spent hours in the late summer / early fall blanching, peeling, cutting, and packing the fruits. They're generally stuff that was picked faster than could sell at the market (usually ahead of storms) or that was picked all at once after the end of market (ahead of the first hard frosts). I think the taste and texture has been way better than canned, plus it is local. We've enjoyed them in yogurt, over ice cream, and in cobblers so far.<br />
<br />
BOXES! David isn't getting boxes back from some folks. Please return the boxes to your pickup sites. They are expensive, hard to get hold of, and incredibly reuseable.zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-70983276692643874742011-12-20T13:56:00.000-07:002011-12-20T13:56:12.696-07:00Winter - Week 11 (Dec 20/21)Spinach<br />

I'll eat any vegetable. I'll munch on turnips raw. I've even grown to like brussel sprouts and lima beans. I've been staring at the spaghetti squash in the basket for weeks. I have never been a fan of them, not since low-fat "healthy" experiments by my mother as a child. Does anyone have a killer spaghetti squash recipe to share with the group?zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-73454082022991021752011-12-13T12:35:00.002-07:002011-12-13T23:02:52.224-07:00Winter - Week 10 (Dec 13/14)Nothing new this week. What do you think of the "frozen fresh fruits"? I really enjoyed the peaches with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon. The raspberries can go right back into the freezer for pancakes or ice cream. The spinach and winter squash can go right into the recipe from last week with barley etc. Try that cabbage sauteed with apples, or maybe made into soup with the radish and some miso.<br />

My family really enjoyed <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/baked-barley-risotto-00100000070986/index.html">this recipe from RealSimple</a>. It will make use of your winter squash (I used a chunk of hubbard), onions, and spinach. I threw a couple of cloves of garlic in for good measure.<br />
<br />
It was also very simple. About 10 minutes of chopping vegetables and 10 minutes in front of the stove.zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380508140947644627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127552574163929218.post-17160639451716497162011-12-06T17:51:00.001-07:002011-12-06T22:28:32.711-07:00Winter - Week 9 (Dec 6/7)Pontiac Red potatoes<br />

Fresh frozen peaches<br />
Golden delicious apples<br />
Fuji apples<br />

Granny Smith apples<br />
<br />
Kale -- cut away the center stem and the thicker veins. Cut the leaves into thinner ribbons when cooking to be sure they get tender. Saute ribbons with garlic and shallots until tender; fold into omelette.<br />
<br />
Frozen peaches -- if they're still mostly frozen, you can keep them in the freezer for a couple of months. If they're starting to thaw, they'll keep in your fridge for several days at least. Eat as fresh, with cream or mascarpone, or blend into smoothies. Fresh peach taste!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I'll post a fantastic (and easy) risotto recipe using the onions, garlic, banana squash, and spinach.<br />
<br />
No meat this week, sorry. When the butcher gets caught up, so will we!<br />
