NOTE: Our website has had security issues this week, and when we sent out the Fresh Sheet on Wednesday it probably went into your spam folder. We believe we've dealt with the issues, but thought we would re-send this Fresh Sheet so you don't miss out on this week's lovely produce. 

----------
So nice to experience some beautiful, crisp fall days! We will continue to harvest fall produce right through the fall. The Loutet Farm market will continue to run Wednesdays and Thursdays (rain or shine!) right through to October 31st.

The sugar pie pumpkins are starting to be ready to eat. Time to start thinking about soups and stews and pies and muffins! (See below for some recipe ideas)

We are happy to report that we are now running two "checkouts" on Saturday morning to help move through the line quicker and we have been able to keep a selection of most of our produce on the table past 11am.
 
Here's what's fresh this week:
