The Produce Box

“Facebook is a personal newspaper about you curated by the people who care about you.”  ~ Matty from FB We had a very exciting week last week when American Express and Facebook representatives arrived to spend a couple of whirlwind days with us.  Thursday included many great activities such as: The prize presentation ceremony (We were going to be really sad if it wasn’t as big as the check in the Publishers Clearing House commercials and they did not disappoint!) A Facebook strategy session geared specifically towards The Produce Box We finished off the day with dinner at Mo’s Diner, a locally owned and operated restaurant downtown.  Everything was absolutely delicious.  You ought to check it out! On Friday night we attended an event downtown where other small local business owners were invited to come and get some training of their own.  A panel discussion was presented and we had an open ended question and answer session where business owners could ask how to use Facebook

It's Apple Season!  What are you going to do with all those apples in your BOX this week?!!!  Wondering what variety you have?  Here's a little bit more information about the varieties that might be in your BOX. Magna Bonum  is medium to sometimes large, this fall apple is regarded as a good dessert apple. It is yellow-covered with light red and striped with darker red, and also has white or russet dots. The fruit is juicy, tender, mildly subacidic, and aromatic. The variety was recorded in 1854. Magna Bonum Jonathon  apples can be used cooked or raw and in both sweet and savory preparations. Add slices to a tart, chop and add to couscous or puree and add to a soup. The flesh of the Jonathon apple will breakdown just slightly when cooked. Pair with dense apples such as Granny Smith, Pippin, Green Dragon or Fuji to make pie filling or slow cook to make sauces or caramelized apples. Diced Jonathon will add sweetness and moisture to cakes, crisps and bread pudding. Thei
