RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Sausage and Herb Stuffing


Ingredients
16 cups 1-inch bread cubes, white or sourdough (1 1/2 pound loaf)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 cups medium-diced yellow onion (2 onions)
1 cup medium-diced celery (2 stalks)
2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large-diced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup dried cranberries



Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.


Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the bread cubes to a very large bowl.


Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onions, celery, apples, parsley, salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add to the bread cubes.


In the same saute pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a fork while cooking. Add to the bread cubes and vegetables.


Add the chicken stock and cranberries to the mixture, mix well, and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle. Serve warm.

Order for Delivery on Nov 29

Market is open from Wed. at 3 pm until Friday at 3 pm

Well friends... The SNOW is here. The Turkeys are gettin ready to be Gobbled up and Farm-to-Table is running strong!! Considering its the holidays, we have a slightly smaller list. But we are still taking orders and will still be delivering on Tuesday.

Message to our buying clubs.. I know it is difficult right now to organize your clubs and we are working diligently to make this a much easier process. One important note, if you copy and past the inventory as it appears on the market into a Google Spreadsheet, it apparently comes out perfectly, so I'm told. I recommend giving it a try and seeing what happens!

Please try to RSVP for the Chef-Farmer Retreat as soon as possible. You should be receiving an invitation in the mail.. Farmers, you will receive this invitation by the weekend!

MOST IMPORTANTLY, Breathe, relax and enjoy your holiday. You all deserve it.

We love you very much and appreciate your commitment to fresh, local food!

Blessings to you and all your families.



A few important notes:

- Packing slips that arrive with boxes are now your invoices. These documents are to be saved and used as a current invoice. Each month, sites and buyers will receive a statement of unpaid balances, etc.

- If you have not registered, do not know how to register, or do not know or remember your password, please e-mail [email protected] to get that resolved.

- Farm-to-Table is growing and evolving and your continued support is absolutely Vital to our program. We always welcome donations, volunteers, and support in any way, shape or form. If you are interested in making a donation, or volunteering your time, please contact [email protected] or call 802.223.1515

- As always, we work diligently to provide fresh local food products at a fair market value. This is incredible work we are all contributing to. Farm-to-Table is providing access to food for populations who really need it, as well as education for those sites. Lets spread the word. Tell press to get in touch with [email protected], or call 223.1515 or write an editorial to your local press.

- Finally, our CHEF-FARMER RETREAT is coming up on DEC 7, 2011 @ Trinity Church in Montpelier, VT. All are invited to attend. Formal invitations will be going out this week, with RSVP's attached. Attendance costs $25. The theme this year is "FOOD IS MEDICINE". Come learn about incorporating healing herbs into your recipes, learn how to prepare chicken stock and soup from a roasted chicken, and learn how to cook food without even cooking it!



A few reminders:

Amazake is a traditional sweet, low-alcoholic Japanese drink made from fermented rice. The basic recipe for amazake has been used for hundreds of years. Kōji is added to cooled whole grain rice causing enzymes to break down the carbohydrates into simpler unrefined sugars. As the mixture incubates, sweetness develops naturally. Amazake can be used as a dessert, snack, natural sweetening agent, baby food, salad dressing or smoothie. Amazake is believed to be very nutritious, with no additives, preservatives, added sugars or salts.
