2019-csa-week-9-share

We're excited to welcome back a CSA favorite this week- spaghetti squash. We like to let the squash speak for itself by dressing it with only butter or oil and some salt and herbs, or we make a really delicious dish and pack the center cavity with sausage and bake facing upward so the juices from the squash drip down into the squash. We also included some other delicious fruits of summer which combine to make the perfect fresh salsa. We hope you enjoy this week’s share and thank you for supporting our farm and have a great week!
