Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know at least one person who tried the pies...
Come back to the Flat Rock Tailgate Market this Saturday only for a special market as part of the annual Holiday Stroll. http://www.flatrockonline.com/calendar_of_events/calendar.htm
The tailgate part isn't listed on the calendar, but we'll be there from 2:30 - 5:30!
We'll be bringing the last of the butternut, some fresh veggies, and gifts for stocking stuffers!
Available this week:
Elizabeth's tasty late fall salad mix
turnips - choose standard purple top or white salad turnips
collards and kale
butternut
And, I'll be checking my carrots this week to see if they're ready for Saturday!
See you then,
Mollie

All the available veggies are the same as last week. They pretty much stay the same, unless something new comes available - and I'll let you know!
Thought I would post a copy of this recipe for Butternut Squash Pie, courtesy of John Vining. Used it for the family get-together a couple weeks ago, and it was a big hit! Making it again tonight to send with Anthony his thanksgiving celebration at work tomorrow. It's a wonderful recipe. Thanks, John!
Butternut Squash Pie
For the ambitious gardeners that grew more butternut squash than they know what to do with, the Polk County Agricultural Extension Service would like to recommend this delicious pie recipe. It is ideal for the holidays. Try it instead of the usual pumpkin pie. It is shared by "Bos" Vining.
3/4 cup sugar*
1 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground mace**
1-1/2 cups cooked, mashed butternut squash
1 egg slightly beaten+
1-1/2 cups milk++
2 Tbsp. melted butter
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell
Mix together sugar, flour, salt, and spices. Add to cooked, mashed squash. Add egg, milk, and melted butter, and put in pastry shell. Bake at 450 deg. for 15 min. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake until firm (about 40 minutes). Serve warm and top with whipped cream or your favorite whipped topping.
Notes from Mollie:
*I cut back on the sugar a just a little, and only used about 1/2 cup.
**Didn't have mace, and used cloves instead.
+I use egg replacer with good success.
++Also ended up using a little less milk than called for, but I've been making double recipes each time so far, for two pies.

Brrr...Good chilly Monday morning!
We had a wonderful early Thanksgiving with my family in Montgomery, Alabama, this last weekend. Probably the first time we've gotten to all sit down and eat the same meal at the same time in I don't know how many years. There were 9 people, including a baby, 9 dogs, and 1 cat all in one house. You might not believe it, but it was relaxing and peaceful! Everyone was there, except my younger sister's new husband, who couldn't get off work, and who was definitely missed by all.
We're still going! We just put the row covers out last week, so our greens should be protected from cold weather for a while yet.
Market notes: As of today, Monday, I'll be switching over to taking orders for delivery/pick up, and resting from the afternoon Raymonds market for the winter. If you'd like anything, or are wondering if we've got something I haven't mentioned, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I'll start listing what we've got each week, hopefully on Monday mornings. You can place an order anytime during the week, and we'll figure out a time and place to meet.
----------
Everything's in limited quantities this week, as the fall crops are just starting to come in.
$3.00 Salad mix:
Elizabeth's tasty late fall salad mix is back!
2-3 bags this week altogether, as it's just coming in
special blend of late fall greens: mustard greens, swiss chard, hon tsai tai,
vit, chinese cabbage, purple and green mizuna
$2.00 Turnips, bunched with greens still attached
Purple top, white globe, 2-3 bunches
Hakurei salad turnip, much milder, crisp flavor for slicing into salads
$1.50 Collards, 2 bunches
$1.50 Kale, 2 bunches
$1.50 Fresh Herbs, 2 bunches each
Flat-leaf parsely, chives, oregano, arugula
$1.00/lb, or $0.50/lb blemished: Butternut squash
I don't have the huge quantities I did a month ago--thanks to everyone! :) But I
still can bring a few your way, and they are tasty as ever. I'll be posting some
butternut recipes soon, especially for you folks who might have bought a basket
or two!
---------
$4.00 Rosemary vinegar - great for making vinegrettes, marinating meats, including
pork, and even turkey!
$3.50 Infused lavendar or mint sugars, great for teas, or dusting your pastries and
desserts
$2.50 Lavendar bath sachets, 2 in each carefully wrapped package, great for soothing
dry skin and rejuvinating in the cooling fall weather
$2.50 Dried Rosemary, 4 oz jar
----------
Have a great week!

Hello all!
Next week is the last Thursday Flat Rock Market for the season! Come out and bring the kids, there will be a big celebration for the last market. I'll be drawing with markers on baby butternuts, but I'm a terrible artist, so I need your help!
I can't believe it's this late in the season already. I'm going to miss seeing everybody on Thursdays. Already, I'm looking foward to being back in the spring. I'll still be at Raymonds Garden Center on Mondays though, so come out and see us there!
Let me know if you would like to place a bulk order of butternut squash, and I'll bring you a basket at the market. Half-bushels only $15!
The weather's been changing into fall. Stay warm and cozy!

Hi folks!
Still got lots of butternut. We're doing a special deal this month where a half-bushel (abt 25 pounds) is $20, and a bushel for $35. That comes out to about a 20% discount off the regular $1.00/pound price. Let me know ahead of time, and I'll set aside a basket just for you. Let your friends know, and I'd be happy to meet them for a delivery!
There are three weeks left at the Flat Rock Tailgate Market! The season's dwindling a bit, but there is still plenty going on at the market. October 30 is dress-up day for us vendors, an end of season/halloween party.
I'll still be at Raymonds Garden Center on Mondays, as long as the produce holds out. We've got beets and turnips growing fine in the ground, collards and kale, squash, a few apples left, and more vinegars and salads on the way.
Have a great week!
