Heirloom Apples
Menu Group: Food
Section: Fruits and Berries
Category: Apples

Vendor: Rasmussen Farm

There are two ancient apple trees on our property, both of which are producing plenty of tasty apples this year. We have never sprayed them, so they are chemical-free but not cosmetically-perfect.

Gravenstein: Crisp, tart, smallish apples, slightly larger than clementines. We love them for fresh eating, pies, and applesauce.

Unknown Variety: Similar to MacIntosh, slightly softer flesh than the Gravensteins, tasty. So far we've only eaten them fresh, but they would probably be great for pies or sauce as well.

Piracicaba non-heading broccoli
Menu Group: Food
Section: Vegetables

Vendor: Rasmussen Farm

Enjoyed as much for the leaves & stems as for the small florets, similar to broccoli raab but sweeter, Piracicaba is a fun variation on broccoli. Read more & find a recipe at http://livingthefrugallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/harvest-meal-pad-see-ew.html
