This week I have linked recipes to other blogs and websites for some tasty cooking ideas. Isn’t it a lovely time of year to have the oven baking again while taking the chill out of the house? The cool days seems to inspire all kinds of cooking around here. Soups, breads, apple crisp…I must still be hungry!

I’ve also been rekindling my love for the crockpot as our schedules become busier with school activities, meetings, and more. The breakfast hashbrowns make a big batch which feeds us all for a while and I love the prep and walk away method of a crockpot. The linked recipe is to a blogger who made different recipes for a year straight all in her crockpot. A little over the top but it’s a good resource and she’s got a good sense of humor.

As for the garden, things are winding down a bit. I’m left with several rows of carrots to keep digging and other items like cabbage to safely tuck away in the root cellar for this fall and winter. The summer boxes will have a somewhat similar look to them for the rest of the season which has just two weeks left for the Summer CSA subscribers. Then, we’ll switch to only the FALL CSA boxes.

If anyone is interested in keeping their box going through fall and/or winter, I do still have some spots available. Contact Heather if interested.

Wood-Fired Pizza

Our LAST wood-fired pizza is FRIDAY! Pizzas are available 4:30-9pm. No reservations needed, but a curtesy call is appreciated for groups larger than 15 people. The BEEF SLOUGH BOYS are scheduled to play from 5-8pm for the pizza season finale.

Ashlan will be proudly selling popcorn for Cub Scouts during the evening as well to support C-FC Cub Scout Pack 310’s activities for the year.

Dinner on the Farm

This fall and winter, reserve your place at the table for a five course meal inspired by the bountiful harvest grown by Suncrest Gardens Farm and other producers within 100 miles of the farm. We hope you’ll enjoy the surprise and diversity of the foods prepared in an uncomplicated, handcrafted style. $60 per person includes multiple course meal, beverage, complimentary wine, and music. Saturday, Oct 15th 5pm…Reservations Required

Eat Well. Smile Often.
