Thank you so much for making Brookfield Farm Veggies a part of your Thanksgiving celebration this year! We hope you have a lovely holiday and ease in the winter. See you next year!

Red and Green Curly Kale: Red and curly kale crowns (the top of the plants). Make a pretty salad or cook them up. The kale has been frosted repeatedly sweetening it up and tenderizing it.

Brussels sprouts: Classic Thanksgiving fodder. Pop them off their stems, give them a good soak and trim and roast them up!

Sweet potatoes: They just keep getting sweeter the longer they cure. So good roasted up. Do not store in the fridge, the cold will damage them. Best stored in a cupboard, pantry or on your counter.

Lettuce heads: Mini lettuce heads from the field. We fended off the dear and the cold to get these too year, Late November lettuce is a rarity in New England but here it is.

Beets: Stew them, roast them, boil them. So tasty and nutritious. Store in your fridge wrapped in an airtight bag. They will store for a long time if stored properly.

Rutabaga: Classic New England Thanksgiving feast fodder usually mashed. But don’t stop there, they are great roasted or in your turkey soup.

Green cabbage: Crunchy and sweet and stores well. Lop off a chunk to cook up and then wrap well and it will hold in the fridge for at least a month.

Yellow onions: Great for cooking and caramelizing. Will store just fine on your counter.

Parsnips: Sweet, buttery and mildly floral, these are great roasted, or mashed or in soups and stews. Store wrapped in a bag in your fridge.

Butternut squash: Check out the recipe of the week in the newsletter for this one. Or just slice in half and roast it up. Store on your counter or pantry until you use it (winter squash don’t like to be cold).

Carrots: The carrots are so sweet right now, I have been mostly munching on them raw but they will be great cooked up too. Store wrapped in a bag in your fridge.

White potatoes: These are great for baking, boiling, mashing or roasting, however you want your potatoes. This variety is Kennebeck and they are slightly buttery and delicious.

Flat parsley: Great for sprinkling as garnish or in the stock for your gravy and in your turkey soup.

Thyme: Another essential thanksgiving herb. Use it in your vegetables dishes or for stock or gravy.
