Apple of the Week!
Gala
Discovered in 1934 in New Zealand, Gala’s quickly became a favorite among apple lovers. It’s a cross between a Golden Delicious and Kidd’s Orange Red giving it a mildly sweet flavor and a long availability for harvest. Gala’s are firm, crisp, and perfectly sweet and it’s generally smaller apple making it a perfect lunchbox apple.

Our Favorite Recipes!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon green peppercorns, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, divided
- 1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, divided
- 2 large fresh beets (about 1 pound)
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly oil the foil.
Arrange pumpkin halves onto the prepared baking sheet, cut sides down.
Bake in preheated oven until flesh is tender throughout, about 40 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Scrape pumpkin flesh into a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, demerara sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt; beat until smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture into pie crusts.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Part of the fun of being a member of a CSA is collaborating with your community, so always feel free to post cooking suggestions or feedback on recipes that we post, or favorite recipes of your own that you’d like to share!
Each and every week we do our absolute best to get to you the veggies we include in this newsletter so you can plan your week accordingly. Despite all our best plans and intentions, share contents are subject to last minute changes due to weather, field conditions and random acts of mischief by our beloved Mother Nature. This means some weeks that half and full share compositions might not be identical and we will make up where applicable.
See you on the farm or on the road!
Cheers,
The FarmShare Team
