Fall Comforts Recipes

As the last leaves flutter to the ground and dusk descends earlier in the day, now is the time to cozy up with this week’s lineup of warm-and-wonderful fall offerings—rich, flavorful risotto accented with our signature chicken stock and golden sautéed Chanterelle mushrooms, plus fresh pumpernickel bread, farm-fresh eggs and a vibrant produce selection that includes unique black Japanese squash, Lacinato kale, Chioggia radicchio and incredibly juicy Cara Cara oranges. Also complemented by a beautiful assemblage of decorative squash, this lovely autumn meal begs to be eaten fireside, tucked in your favorite chair, with a glass of wine in hand.

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

Chanterelle Mushroom Risotto
Creamy and delicious, this recipe is a favorite here at the farm—just remember to stir!

Cara Cara Orange Salad with Arugula & Fennel
This crisp, citrus-kissed salad is both bold in flavor and beautiful in presentation.

Cider-Braised Beets
These delightful beets from Rick Rodgers’ The Big Book of Sides are sure to be a new fall favorite.

Kale Gratin with Parmesan Bread Crumbs
This no-guilt gratin skips the cream, but still boasts big flavor thanks to a topping of toasty bread crumbs.

From sweet cornbread and spicy Andouille sausage to premium red beans and jasmine rice, the classic flavors of the deep South await this week, blending beautifully with fresh, Pacific Northwest produce including parsnips, celery root and carrots, plus both black and purple Daikon radishes. The boldly-assertive menu also features a robust Spanish red-blend wine, nutty whole grain loaf and hearty Swiss chard to serve alongside these Cajun favorites.

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

Classic Red Beans & Rice
Slow-simmered with chicken stock, herbs and spices, these luscious red beans get an extra-flavorful kick from Andouille sausage.

Black Radish Cream
Substitute this zingy spread for horseradish in your favorite recipes.

Braised Swiss Chard with Garlic
A wonderful side dish to accompany this week’s classic Southern fare.

Roasted Root Vegetables with Balsamic Vinegar
