Comments on: Farm Fresh and Local Produce – 10/27/07 http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2007/10/27/farm-fresh-and-local-produce-102707/ Eating my way through Ohio one day at a time Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:04:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charise http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2007/10/27/farm-fresh-and-local-produce-102707/comment-page-1/#comment-25269 Charise Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:22:52 +0000 http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2007/10/27/farm-fresh-and-local-produce-102707/#comment-25269 The last couple of weeks I've come home with more potatoes, onions, carrots, squash, and apples than I could possibly use in a week with the same idea of stocking up for the next month. It makes me sad when the farmer's markets close for the year. I will be out of town most weekends of the Worthington winter market, too. :( The last couple of weeks I’ve come home with more potatoes, onions, carrots, squash, and apples than I could possibly use in a week with the same idea of stocking up for the next month.

The farmer called them "pricklies" or something like that. We went a little nuts at the markets this week. My favorite buys were rouge vif d'etampes and musque de Provence pumpkins. I love the marina de chioggia ones, especially grilled with some olive oil and rosemary. My garage is full of squash, my freezer is pretty full of veggies and some pasture-raised beef and chicken, and I have a month or two worth of onions and potatoes. And more carrots than you can shake a stick at! Can't wait to see what the winter market brings! We opted not to do a thanksgiving CSA, thinking it would be more fun (and affordable) to shop the special markets.

We've recently moved to Scotland, and are committed to eating local / organic ... so we don't get much at all in the way of squash! Here, squash comes from Africa or Portugal! SO not local. Lovely.
