If there is anything you need in addition to your CSA box that you do not see in the store please let me know. We’d be happy to accommodate where possible to make your holiday shopping a little easier. Don’t forget to order all your dinner rolls and delicious breads from Deux Bakery. We will include them with your share on Wednesday.
We are going to donate a bunch of produce to the Organic Soup Kitchen. They serve plant-based foods for the Santa Barbara community in need, including low-income seniors, cancer patients, veterans, & more. Help us give more by making a $25 donation. We will match that to bring them everything they need to feed our community for the holidays and beyond.

We’ve raised turkeys all year and slaughtered a few this weekend. We will certainly enjoy them, but most turkeys aren’t raised with such care. On that note, here are a few Thanksgiving recipes that are meatless.

Ingredients:
¼ cup uncooked wild rice
¼ cup uncooked brown basmati rice
11/2 cups water or vegetable stock
Pinch of sea salt
1 large butternut squash

2 shallots, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
8 ounces tempeh
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Seeds from ½ pomegranate
