We have had a good year!

We hope to see you back in 2008!

In the Basket:

In keeping with a bit of an Old Shaw Farm tradition, this last basket is heavy on the storage items.

Onions – A 5 pound bag. These onions should keep for quite a while if you have a relatively cool and dry place to keep them.

Carrots – Another 5 pound bag. These are our fall storage variety, and they have a little sweetness to them from the frost we had a week or two ago.

Potatoes – A 4 pound bag. These are a local heirloom variety called “Green Mountain”. They are an extremely dry potato, which makes them great for baking, and good for storage. Like the onions, a cool dry place is best. Perfect for these chilly evenings.

Spinach – A 3/4 pound bag. The spinach keeps going even after the frost has nipped the lettuce.

Kale – A big bunch. Another cold hardy green, which is both yummy and good for you! Try the Potato, Kale and Sausage Soup recipe on the back.
