Wed, October 24 Market CSA Pick-up Reminder: the Farm Market will only be open on Wednesdays from 4 - 6 pm. If you are able to bring back your pint and quart mason jars as well, that would be much appreciated! New this week: Sweet potatoes and Leeks Our sweet potatoes are ready! Please note, that they have not been cured yet so we recommend using them within 1-2 months. If you would like to store your sweet potatoes longer than that, you can cure them at home by placing the sweet potatoes in a single layer in a plastic bag, poke a few holes. close the bag, and place in a warm window or anywhere that gets warm. If there is a draft in some of these locations, then you can place a towel or a quilt over them. Wait 10 days. The potatoes that are firm and moist are ready. The sweet potatoes that are soft should be discarded. Once cured, the sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry area.  For more information, see Tenth Acre Farm.  Radishes Red Leaf Lettuce  Mesclun Greens Mustard Greens  Butternut Squash  Swiss Chard Sweet Potato Greens Heirloom Tomatoes (limited) Dragon's Tongue Beans Okra Eggplants Yellow Sweet Peppers  Red Sweet Peppers  Cucumbers (limited) Hot Peppers: Red Ember and Jalapenos  Pickled Radish Pickled Summer Squash Hot Pepper Jelly Sweet Chili Sauce Pear-Apple Butter Sweet Potato, Apple, and Leek Casserole Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts sliced lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise  Salt and freshly ground pepper  1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves  1/2 cup heavy cream  1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound), peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds  1 large or 2 medium red skinned apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp (about 12 ounces), halved, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices  1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme and then the cream and cook until the liquid thickens, about 2 minutes; set aside. In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, arrange the sweet potato in overlapping layers. Spread the leek mixture evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the apples in an overlapping layer on the leeks. Brush the apples with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes.
