We don't always love all the vegetables (my husband could do without cauliflower, and neither of us has been able to find a recipe for celeriac that we like), but we've been introduced to some great new flavours that we wouldn't have tried without this program. Parsnips, beets, and even rutabaga come to mind.
This week's delivery was sitting on my doorstep when I got home from work, and it looked so much like a still-life painting waiting to happen that I thought I'd snap a photo of it once I took it inside.
Lettuce, fresh garlic, cauliflower, mushrooms, beets, pepper squash, apple cider, spinach, purple potatoes, and apples are all part of this week's delivery.
Roasted cauliflower soup? Borscht? Mushroom Antipasto? Mashed purple potatoes? Baked, stuffed pepper squash? Gluten Free Apple Pie? So many options....
The best part is knowing that the food is not only fresh and local, but supports Ontario farmers. It also minimizes the impact on the environment by only needing to be transported a short distance, and not being individually wrapped, or bagged, or otherwise packaged unnecessarily. All good things.
So while next week may be the last delivery for this year, I'm already looking forward to seeing what next year's Harvest will bring!
