The following is an abridged version of the weekly Collingswood Farmers Market newsletter, for more info: visit CollingswoodMarket.com

“Grilling, broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to call it - is an art, not just a matter of building a pyre and throwing on a piece of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach.”
—James Beard, 'Beard on Food' (1974)

What's in season

Pumpkins are IN for October. All squash, even the ones you wind up eating, are pretty sturdy. Keep them in a cool, dark pantry and use the room in your fridge for something else.

Dan Lynn Organic Farm sends a GREEN crop report: "Broccoli, Collards, Kale, Napa cabbage, Romaine Lettuce, Green Leaf Lettuce, even GREEN eggs." They also have Sweet Potatoes and French Fingerlings (NOT green).
