The weather here in central North Carolina is having a case of indecision. Although we have had some chilly days, most of December has been in the 70s. I’m not complaining, mind you, but it is a little hard to get in the holiday spirit when you’re wearing shorts and a t-shirt. And flipflops.
One of the wonderful side effects of this warm weather is that our farmers are still harvesting lots of great vegetables! Here is what’s fresh this week!
- Apples
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Brussel sprouts
- Cabbage
- Lettuce
- Kale
- Collards
- Bok choi
- Carrots
- Onions
- Pecans
- Sweet potatoes (orange and white)
- Greenhouse tomatoes
- Winter squash–acorn, butternut, pattypan
- Beets
- Turnips
- Rutabegas
- Radish
Have a wonderful week and don’t forget to support your local farmers as you make your holiday meal plans!

/ December 10, 2012I love Brussels sprouts!!!!! So good. I am complaining about the weather, though. This is my official complaint. I hate warm Christmas weather. But I’ll probably like the power bill, so… I guess it’s a draw. And I’m eating soup anyway.
