Crop List: Basil, Rainbow Carrots, Carrots, Radish, Cabbage, Summer Squash, Yellow Onion, Huckleberry Gold, Potatoes, Maybe Sunflowers, Tomatoes and or Broccoli

The Cosmic Mix is on pause right now. We have another crop coming. It always slows down this time of year, and begins to taste really different. The leaves are more hearty then the early spring crops and it is a bit more bitter, maybe like all of us as we say goodbye to summer??
Good thing the carrots fulfill the craving for sweetness! Taste the difference of a Cosmic carrot from anything in the store, and you won't go back to the supermarket! The cool Teton nights encourage the carrots grown here to produce more sugars, and the contrast is stark from those California grown imports.
There may be a potential frost in the forecast early next week. We'll have to see what the weather does. Fall is in the air...even if we have until the 22nd for the actual Equinox. I've noticed some of the leaves have begun changing. The yellow crates are getting really heavy with all the root crops! And...my slippers had to come out for the cool mornings in the house.

The cooler temps have me bringing more proteins back into my diet. My body craves it as it gets cooler. We are getting low on some of our cuts of meat, but I would love to get them directly to you if you are interested. I love packing up special orders to send to a veggie pick up site, just send me an email if you want to get any of these cuts! No obligation if they get there and you change your mind. I can't get the whole selection in the cooler each week, but like I said, special orders rock! You can email me, or ask your site host to write an order in our notebook.
Also, I'm happy to share recipes if you are curious about something!
Roasts- the all day slow cooker meal that goes so good with fall veggies! We have Beef roasts: Tri-tip, Brisket, Round Roast and Sirloin Tip Roast. For pork I have Shoulder Roast and Boneless Pork Loin...which I have a really easy recipe for if you are ready to try one! Again...email me for it!
Organ Meat- I have beef and pork heart, liver and kidney! If you are in the know about how to use organ meats, we have them! If you want to spoil your pet, buy them some organs! I thaw them, chop them up (you can even use a food processor for this) into an amount I can feed in a week and freeze them in small containers. I just add about 2 tablespoons to our dog's dry food each night. Did you know dogs in the wild eat the organs first when they kill something? Organs are the most nutritious part of an animal! I can absolutely feel a difference in my energy level when I eat organ meat.
Primal Blend! New product Alert!- Speaking of organ meats, curious how to get them into your diet without committing to studying a new skill? We had our butcher blend beef heart, liver and kidney into some ground beef. Ours is 90% beef and 10% organs. I make it into things for my family and they don't notice. I made meatloaf with 2 packages of regular ground beef and 1 package of the primal blend. No one noticed. I've slipped it into sloppy joes, chili and stir fry's without complaint, I usually mix in regular ground beef too. It feels great knowing my kids are getting some organ meat. AND...if you see my kids--do not tell them!!!
Stew Meat- Fall veggies love a stew! We have beef cut and ready to be added to your favorite one.
Hunters and Huntresses!- We have pork fat for your game processing. You work so hard to stock the freezer with high quality meat, finish the job by using high quality fat for your sausage making.
Pork Hock- mmmm....again with slow roasted meaty goodness.
Steaks-Tenderloin, New York, Rib Eye, Sirloin, Eye of the Round
Ribs- We have some pork Spare ribs and some beef short ribs
Bones- I love making bone broths, and believe I can make it through the Zombie Apocalypse if I have enough bone broth in the freezer. We have beef marrow bone and knuckle bones available.

Recipe Ideas: Fermented Ginger Carrots; Morning Glory Muffins; Carrot Ginger Dressing; Scallop Potatoes and Carrots; ​Potato Leek Gratin
