Fall 2021 CSA to begin on October 7, 2021 written by Connie Roland.

Our student farm manager, Farrell Moose has 12 years of experience in providing a CSA for Central Chatham County.  Our farm is tended by many hearts and hands. Under the watchful eye of Farrell, students help tend the farm while attending classes.  Some of the classes include Agricultural Mechanization, Welding, Plant Science, Plant Propagation, Organic Crop Production, and Soil Science. Our goal with the student farm CSA is to supply faculty and student volunteers with healthy organic produce while putting learned methods into practice.  CSA boxes will be filled weekly with vegetables and herbs grown on Central Carolina Community College Student Farm. 

This weeks CSA (October 7th) will include:

Aji dulce peppers 

Frying Peppers 

Yellow Crookneck Squash 

Tan Cheese “pumpkin” really a winter squash

Red Russian Kale 

Sweet Potato Greens 

Arugula 

Eggplant 

Sage 

Cheese Pumpkin makes a wonderful soup vessel

Aji Dulce Pepper have a sweet, fruity and slightly smokey mild heat flavor. Good for roasting, stewing and sautes.

Below are some very tasty recipes to make use of your cheese pumpkin.

    Nice post Connie, good info, pics are great! Another bit of info that could be useful for members if you can fit it in is storage tips. E.g., Sage/oregano: cut 1/2 inch off of the stem and place in water (seems to be working for us so far).
