Rainbow Chard fresh from the hoop house
Hello everyone!
I’m glad to see snow on the ground at last, especially since Samir is doing such a good job keeping the sidewalk shoveled at Harvest Kitchen. Last winter I didn’t have to worry about these things! Anyhow, it seems appropriate to the season to have some snow and cold weather, though it may curtail some of our farmer friends’ production quantities. Fortunately we won’t be going hungry at Harvest Kitchen, thanks to our well-stocked freezer.
Maple Winter Squash Whip
This week’s news here at HK includes the complete overhaul of the aforementioned freezer–things were getting pretty crazy in there, but on Thursday Dayna and Kim (mostly Dayna) got the whole thing organized and whipped into shape. Phew! Also this week we had our second appearance at Ypsi’s new MIX Marketplace. I haven’t heard the full report about how it went, but Kim told me she collected a lot of new email addresses for our menu email list (sign up in the sidebar of this page if you haven’t already), so that sounds like a success.
Otherwise we’re just plugging away here at Harvest Kitchen. We’ve got a good, hearty menu for you this week:
