This week (The LAST week!) of our CSA gave us potatoes, bok choy, butternut squash, long island cheese pumpkin, muscadine grapes, tomatoes, popping corn & some more of those white beans. This week we'll be making some kettle corn, homemade grape juice, vegan pumpkin bread, butternut squash soup, baked potato soup, & bok choy salad. Cannot WAIT to eat some kettle corn - my favorite!
We are considering doing the Winter Program of Avalon Acres CSA. Most of the foods are canned, and therefore less pressure to eat them right away. You can choose among several packages, which might include meats, eggs, canned, dried goods, root vegetables, winter vegetables, (canned corns, beans, tomatoes, tomato juice, sorghum, honey, jellies, preserves, pickles, apple butter, pear butter, popping corn, cornmeal, peanuts, sweet potatoes, winter squash, homemade pastas & spaghetti sauce, amish breads & desserts. If you are interested, the order form is right here. This winter, you can also hand pick your own package.
Now that I've written that, I think I've talked myself into it!

I think you should give it a try, and don't forget to report what you get. It helps me to know what the farmers have in season locally when I see it in your CSA each week.
Are the white beans actually peas that you are supposed to shell? If they are, they look like some type of crowder pea. My in-laws grew them last year, and I grew some from their seeds this year. They don't look like canned crowder peas, but my mother-in-law says that is what they were called when they bought the seeds. If those are actually some kind of snap beans, then I have no idea what they are.
CROWDER PEAS! Yes - that IS what they are. Thanks Karina!!!
Thanks for the kettle corn recipe. I was wondering what to do with the popping corn. I may even try the homemade grape juice...only time will tell!
sarah: we made the grape juice and didn't add sugar. just mashed it and drank it. It was yummy!!! (although it did not make very much).
