Taos Community Farms CSA Fall Procurement

We have been harvesting and receiving a variety of different fall vegetables for our shares. Last week we received the first purple potatoes of the season from Jubilee Farms and this week’s share will include a German Butterball potato variety, a yellow heirloom potato that is great for roasting, and known for it’s buttery flavor.  Cylindra beets, a locally grown super food, is another heirloom variety with a perfect shape for slicing and has tender sweet greens.  You’ll also be receiving leeks from Morning Star Farm which will pair well with a roasted vegetable dish or a harvest season potato leek soup.  This week we will still be enjoying some tasty heirloom tomatoes from Freshie’s of New Mexico along with first cut salad mix from Morning Star and Farmhouse. The garden standard kale and chard from Copper Pot Farm, Morning Star Farm, and Farmhouse Garden, will round out the greens department along with local garlic and onions that are great for roasting. Carrots will come from Morning Star Farm and from the Vista Grande High School Farm project at the Rio Fernando Farm.  We have a new farmer of Aloha Acres Farm, from Ojo Caliente, that is bringing fresh mizuna, and greens and is excited to grow for us next year. We are expecting a number of varieties of winter squash coming in from Wild Flower Farm in Chimayo. As the season turns you will find more root vegetables in your share perfect for tossing with olive oil and roasting with herbs for a perfect local harvest feast.
