Thank you, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving deserves farm fresh veggies.

It’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and we will be from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with fresh vegetables for your Thanksgiving dinner and the holiday weekend. It will be cold, but come out and we will treat you to a cup of Personal Roast coffee while you get your fresh herbs, vegetables, pumpkins, and salad greens. We even have a few hot red rooster peppers. There will be lots of kale, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choi, and more. You will find good food for your loved ones and friends on Thanksgiving.

Kirsten has made some naturally beautiful wreaths from our own fir and cedar boughs. Plus, she has design and made stunning wild rose wreaths that will dry inside. Our wreathes natural from our certified organic farm.

You will find all that you need for the Thanksgiving Day weekend.  Come by our Farm Store on Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Saturday November 20 - Join us at the Poulsbo Farmers Market’s Special Holiday Market 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s OK to come near the end. We’ll be open for you

It’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving and we will be at the Armory on Jensen Street, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market is moving inside for this annual event.

You will find good food for your loved ones and friends on Thanksgiving.

For example, Brussels sprouts are a traditional side-dish, and the tender little purple ones that we have are so superior to the golf balls at the grocery stores. Our Brussels sprouts are like a luscious taste explosion in your mouth – not bitter. Plus, they are purple.

We will also have wreaths handmade from our own boughs. The wild rose wreaths will dry inside. The evergreen wreaths need to be hung outside. Neither is coated with chemicals to keep them fresh.

If you don’t find all that you need for the Thanksgiving Day weekend, come by our Farm Store on Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Pies are an essential for Thanksgiving.

We have squash, pumpkins, pears, and apples for pies, compotes, and fruit plates. Buy them this week to make sure you get what you want. Next week we will have a smaller selection. Right now, they are approaching or at their prime. If you want  keep fresh squash, pumpkin. Pears, or apples for Thanksgiving, you can refrigerate it for for a couple weeks. Refrigeration slows the ripening of all your fruit.

You can also cook your fruit and store it cooked in your refrigerator until you are ready to bake your pie. Pie houses, cold areas where fruit and meat pies were stored for weeks, were popular with early settlers who wanted to preserve their fruit and vegetables in an easy to eat form. Dried fruit and vegetables were the other alternative. Dried fruit is also a wonderful way to preserve fruit for pie or snacks.

Part of eating in season is selecting the most perishable items as well as the more durable ones. For example, as the season ends for squash, pumpkin, apples, and pears, and other off-season produce, they are a treat that will not be back for a few months.

Locavores need to be decisive in their choices. Planning ahead lets you select the fruits and vegetables you will not see for a long while as well as those want to eat over the next week.
