Happy Thanksgiving, all! Since we are always

talking about good food and have been writing

about our Thanksgiving excitement for a

couple of months already, I thought I would

devote this month's newsletter to something

different. The plan was to offer you some

especially nice food and farming-related

videos as our way of honoring the second best

thing about Thanksgiving: lying on the couch.

But in the end, I couldn't let the

opportunity to speak of gratitude pass

without mention. The result is a greatly

revised Thanksgiving article, videos

sprinkled in: "In Praise of Praise".

 

With deep thanks for your support of

LocalHarvest and America's family farmers,

In Praise of Praise

 

 

 

I spent last evening making long, anxious To

Do lists for the holiday week, and crawled

into bed tired and short on Thanksgiving

spirit. In the fuzzy moments before sleep,

though, some tight knot spontaneously relaxed

and a sentence formed itself in my mind. "You

need Thanksgiving eyes." This was

sufficiently weird to wake me up, and I sat

for a few minutes thinking about the notion

of Thanksgiving eyes. What? Ah, eyes that see

what the heart feels when given a chance -

gratitude, love, appreciation.

From the LocalHarvest Catalog

 

 

 

This time of year, it's all about wreaths

for us. We have many beautiful ones to choose from, made from everything

from boxwood to balsam, fir to flowers.

Wreaths make a wonderful holiday present, for yourself or someone you love.

 

Speaking of gifts, we have so many good ones

from which to choose. We've collected our

favorites on our Christmas

Specials page, but you may find things for the people on

your holiday list anywhere in the LocalHarvest

catalog!

Cranberries not only complement the taste of

your turkey and decorate your holiday table,

they also have many health promoting

properties as well. Cranberries are rich in

antioxidants like vitamin C, and they are a

good source of dietary fiber, manganese and

vitamin K.

Recipe Corner: Cranberries - By Lorna Sass

 

 

 

In the nineties there was a rock group called

The Cranberries. They choose a very good name

because, as any cook knows, cranberries rock.

 

Cranberries, with their skins of shocking

lipstick red, must have always drawn admirers

with ease, but those first tasters must have been mighty surprised when they experienced

the fruit's lip-puckering tartness.
