End of the season . . .

25 weeks of delicious, fresh and local vegetables have come to an end! I'll post a few things throughout the winter like recipes for winter squash, recipes for frozen and preserved foods, good books to read about eating locally, and other local food products you can get year round. I posted some pumpkin recipes in the recipes by ingredient section. I already am looking forward to next year!
