| Squash comes in a gorgeous array of hues–gold, amber, green, and orange–and we have a rich variety of locally grown squash on our shelves this week!
From Persimmon Ridge Farm, there’s Red Kuri, Delicata, Honeynut, Black Futsu, and Koginut. And from Millers Farm Fresh Produce, there’s spaghetti and butternut, as well as Candy Roaster winter squash from Saratoga Homestead. Look at that natural variety!
Plus, this week we are stocked up on greens like Tuscan and curly kale, spring mix, romaine lettuce, and Muir lettuce from Bee Cool Honey Farm. |
