This simple yet sublime recipe captures the essence of the season with every bite, accenting the hearty squash with fresh free range eggs from our local producers.

honey apple deviled eggs
This sweet take on a traditional deviled egg is a great way to celebrate our farm fresh eggs. Eggs are a simple starting place to get creative with your favorite flavors. In this case, fresh apples, local honey and a touch of cinnamon for an almost apple pie flavor.
roasted broccoli and smashed root veggies
This vegan take on a winter staple takes advantage of fresh broccoli that grows well through our NC winters and is flexible enough to go with any root veggie. This dish is full of texture and flavor. Root vegetables make it filling enough to be a main dish of it’s own right. Using cashew “cheese” instead of parmesan makes it fully vegan. If you eat meat or dairy you can mash the roots traditionally with cheese or butter and eat this as a side dish for any savory or sweet meat dish.
butternut squash soup
Fall is a cozy time. This bowl of warm, creamy butternut squash soup is perfect for the cool weather. With a complex roasted flavor and a creamy texture this soup is all around good. It can be served alongside grilled cheese or salad for a simple meal or as a side dish alongside your holiday feast. This soup even tastes good leftover.
