A-Maze-Ing

 

Well friends, just because Halloween is behind us don't think you have no use for pumpkin patches until next year.  Many of them, like this one, grow amazing varieties of squash. 
Everyone knows how I feel about supporting local farmers and buying food that was locally grown whenever possible, so I will refrain from going on and on about it today... but, just in case you don't:
Please support local farms!

 

Scout out something you've never had before and try it, although I wouldn't necessarily suggest doing so on a day when you are cooking for a house full of people...  

 

 

 

There are a few days left until Thanksgiving and now would be the perfect time to pick up a few of your favorites.  Pumpkin for pies, squash for dinner, gourds for decoration...

This lovely place is in Ohio, so all my friends in the NW corner of the Buckeye state should check it out!  They also make fresh doughnuts on site, served to you warm and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar...

Wandering around a place like this is a great way to spend a few hours, especially if all things food related enthrall you like they do me.  They have pristine pumpkins and superb squash.  The little hubbard I roasted last week came from this farm as did a few other varieties.  Every single one was fantastic.

Get out there and enjoy the crisp fall air, warm apple cider in hand.  Have a doughnut while you're there, they are worth every calorie...


(I was not compensated in any way by Fleitz, just a fan of the farm...)
