A LOCAL FARM VISIT

Near us at Weston Road and Major Mackenzie is the Mini Farm or the Vaughan Food Terminal. Barb bought her friend at work some Kale plants from this farm in the Spring. We went back today to check it out- at Barb's insistence. I could have stayed on the couch watching golf!

Lots of bushel baskets with onions, peppers, hot peppers, eggplants, potatoes and containers of squash.

Looking around it was typical of so many small farm markets this time of year.

Maybe there are some of the onions we saw a couple of weeks ago in Holland Marsh?

Barb bought a few squash, corn and some apples.

Here are Barb's squash purchases. She wanted a variety for our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner in two weeks. Barb usually likes to make 2-5 different kinds depending on who is coming for dinner. The large yellow one or spaghetti squash will be used for a casserole dish. The green ones- acorn and hubbard will be sliced and baked. The little ones will be used for decoration and eaten at a future date in a weekly dinner. I don't like squash. Perhaps if I actually tasted it I could change my mind!
