Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 13

By Old Fresh Fork | April 8, 2013

Lots of exciting stuff this week.  I went a little out of control on the budget, but I’ll have to make that up some in the next couple bags (which are also quite exciting…although maybe a little smaller). In addition, please see below about a few very noteworthy events around Cleveland.  These are not Fresh…

Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 11

By Old Fresh Fork | March 12, 2013

These past several days have been excellent weather for “sugaring.” When the day temperatures get above freezing, particularly the 50s, and then drop down to freezing at night, the sap in the trees really runs. Last Friday in fact Allyson and I dropped off jars for the maple at a sugaring operation at 9 PM…

Winter Share 2012-13- Week 10

By Old Fresh Fork | February 26, 2013

Pork chops, frozen green beans, frozen strawberries, oats, and more This week we continue to dive into our frozen stash. The jewel this week is frozen strawberries from Maurer’s Fruit Farm. These will pair very nicely in a smoothie with some delicious Velvet View Yogurt or as a sauce to drizzle over pork chops, or…

Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 9

By Old Fresh Fork | February 11, 2013

Freedom Rangers, Peas, Dragon-tongue Beans, Carrots, Rhutabagas, Potatoes, and more This week’s special ingredient is something that we are very excited to offer.  It is a heritage breed chicken called a Freedom Ranger.  Our usual chicken, the Cornish Cross, is the typical commercial meat bird.  It has more white meat and large breasts.  The genetics…

Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 3

By Old Fresh Fork | November 19, 2012

This week is both a Winter CSA delivery and the Thanksgiving turkey/package delivery.  Please double check the pickup days and times.   I have tried to plan the Week 3 Winter CSA accordingly, being that you just picked up week 2 a few days ago and Thanksgiving is around the corner…and no one needs to…

Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 1

By Old Fresh Fork | November 6, 2012

I’m going to be on the radio Friday, again on Saturday, and on TV on Monday.  Lots of Fresh Fork out there!  Mostly all about our Thanksgiving packages, which are selling fast. Oh, and if you are interested in coming to tonight’s beer dinner, we had a few last minute cancelations.  I have about 5…

Winter Weather and Bag Planning

By Old Fresh Fork | October 30, 2012

This wet weather is great…no kidding!      I’m excited about this wet weather.  It really is awful to work in, but it buys us time.  The alternative is a hard, killing frost.  We’ve had a few frosts, but not the worst damage.  I’ll explain below. This week is a full moon.  But I doubt you’ll see it.…

Winter Share 2011-2012 – Week 15

By Old Fresh Fork | May 8, 2012

Frozen pizza dough balls, veggie burgers, ground chicken, oats, and more This week wraps up our winter season.  I think we have a fairly exciting bag this week, but just a little on the light side.  We’ve been over budget 4 of the last 5 weeks so I need to make up a little space…

Winter Share 2011-12 – Week 14

By Old Fresh Fork | April 24, 2012

Ramp Pasta, butter, chicken brats, and feta I’ve noticed a lot of requests for butter lately, so I’m guessing it’s time for some butter.  This week you’ll have your choice of salted or unsalted butter.  For anyone with some butter already sitting around, I do suggest putting this butter in a zip-loc bag and putting…

Winter Share 2011/12 – Week 13

By Old Fresh Fork | April 11, 2012

I hope everyone enjoyed their steak last week.  This week is pretty exciting to me, although the bag doesn’t really “jive” as well as I usually like them too.  I’ve had some odd ingredients in the pipeline and it’s time to use them! This week’s center of the plate is a meat choice.  Each person…
