At this point in the season, there’s a great rhythm going on in the fields and we are able to sit back and enjoy the process as a whole. The kitchen is full of veggies to be processed and put up. Maybe some of you are doing the same?! Our baby girl will be starting foods this winter and there will be peas, green beans, and summer squash ready for her to try. Pickles are always in demand around here too and if you have never made them you can always start with a simple refrigerator recipe. Being able to enjoy the harvest during the cold months is always such a treat.
