Farm stand journal: fruits of the earth

It has been a rainy year in Western Wisconsin. All the squash that went toward animal feed last year reappeared this year as vines in surprising places. And heaps of squash!

They save well, bake nicely and taste wonderful.

I would feature the pie made from squash, but it got eaten before I could take a picture!  The magic of the pie may stem from the eggs.  

This year's chickens and ducks are laying well. Their yolks tend to be dark yellow as they can eat grass to their heart's content.

The squash and eggs will be on sale at our farm stand on Saturday, September 24th as part of the St. Croix River Road Ramble. Come and share in our bounty!
