Hello friends,

With frost expected tomorrow night, we’re settling into the rhythms of November here at the farm. These shorter days bring plenty of work, but also some wonderful eating as the cool-weather crops come into their own.

This week, we’re enjoying fresh baby kale! Its tender leaves are great in a salad, tossed into a pot of soup, or quickly sautéed with olive oil and garlic. For an easy fall meal, try it with roasted sweet potatoes, a handful of nuts, and your favorite vinaigrette.

Thanksgiving is coming up quickly, too, and now is the time to order your turkey! If turkey is part of your holiday plans, get your order in so you can check that piece of the meal off your list.

Thank you for making room at your table for food from our farm. We’re grateful for your support through every season.

—Curtis and the Millsap Farms crew

Hello friends! We’re excited to be working with our friend John Brenneman, an Amish farmer located in Conway, MO, to provide the Springfield area with fresh, organically raised turkeys. John has these turkeys out on grass 24/7 in open-air pens and they eat grass, bugs, and an organic grain ration. Trust us, grass-fed, pasture-raised meats have a flavor and texture far superior to your typical store-bought turkeys. In addition to that, pasture-raised poultry tends to be significantly higher in Omega 3, Vitamin E, Iron, and other essential nutrients.

These will be available for pickup from the farm on November 24, 4–7pm.

Turkeys will be $5.50/lb. We’ll try to honor size preferences, but the turkeys will ultimately determine what we’re able to provide! It will be first come, first serve on pick up day.
