“DOWN-SOUTH” STAMPPOT
Mashed potatoes with other root vegetables – try it with rutabaga?!
from chef Nancy Vienneaus blog, Good Food Matters at nancyvienneau.com
3 pounds potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cut into 2? chunks
1/2 pound carrots, scrubbed and cut into 2? lengths
1/2 pound parsnips, scrubbed and cut into 2? lengths
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into eighths
1 stick butter
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 cup buttermilk
Place all of the vegetables into a large pot. Fill with cool water to cover.
Sprinkle in a teaspoon of salt. Cover with the lid and place on medium high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the vegetables are tender—18-20 minutes.
Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot, set on low heat. Shake the pot so that any excess water will cook off. Cut up a stick of butter into the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Coarsely mash the vegetables together.
Pour in the buttermilk and continue to mash. Taste for seasonings, adjust and serve.
Makes 8-10 servings
Market News
Hello!
The days are so short as we approach the coming Solstice. Today we were replacing plastic on one of the greenhouses and it felt too soon to quit working! But the longer nights do force us to have some down time with family, which is welcome.
We are heading into the Holiday season, and we know there is a lot to keep up with! Please remember that we have this week and next week of normal deliveries, then we will be taking two weeks off, December 24th and December 31st. We will resume deliveries (weather permitting!) on January 7th.
We have some items available in the coming weeks that would make great gifts, including Fresh Harvest Gift Certificates! They are up on the Market page this week. We also have back with us soap and lip balm from Little Seed Farm. Other great gift items are Barrel-Aged Honey from Tru Bee Honey, Country Faire English Toffee, and The Bloomy Rind will have up some preserves and caramel as well!Wedge Oak farm has some half turkeys available this week.
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Plattsburgh Online Ordering: challah bread
It’s not in the online system, but if you haven’t been to the market the last couple weeks you are missing out on some really good (though white flour) challah bread. Email if you want me to bring one to the farm for pickup.

South Cumberland Farmer's Market: Announcement from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse says:
We are taking orders through December 22 for beautiful Christmas kissing balls. Made with live greens and other natural materials, these balls are about 18" diameter and come in three styles. They are suitable to hang on a shepherd’s crook for a beautiful outside Christmas decoration. Each one is mounted on a sturdy hanger and includes a red ribbon bow.
Make a collection of common culinary herbs, to keep for yourself or to give as a gift. Please see the description under ‘Planters and Baskets’, and specify your choice of herbs from the list. If intended as a gift, please order early to allow time for custom preparation. Includes planter.
New Field Farm's Online Market: ORDER FOR FRIDAY DEC. 12
Greetings,
We still have some carrots, onions, cabbage, celery root, garlic and kale to offer.
YOU CAN ORDER ANYTIME UNTIL THURSDAY DEC. 11 AT 8:00.
The Ailsa Craigs are now $1.00 each. They’re still large, but the area around the neck may be soft. I’ll try to find the hardest ones, but even with a soft neck 95% or more of the onion will be fine.
We just have the Winterbor kale, not the Lacinato. The leaves will be smaller like the last order. Not much growing going on now!
Thank you and stay warm.

McColloms Market: FFFN Order Open Until Tomorrow at 5 pm
