Atchison Farmers’ MarketFresh, Friendly, LocalMarket E-Newsletter, Saturday, September 27, 20148 a.m. to 12 noon
We have all kinds of interesting Fall vegetables and fruits for you at the Market. We are experiencing wonderful warm days and cool nights, which our Fall gardens are enjoying. Of course, Mother Nature can be fickle – so we don’t know how long this will continue before frost arrives. But we enjoy the days as they come and the harvest that comes with them.
Reminder: the Market is able to accept credit, debit and SNAP cards. Just go to the Market Manager, Lyn Hoffman, and she can process your card. In exchange for a particular amount, she will give you tokens that can be used at any of the vendors.
Sign up for the last Market Bundle Give Away that will be on Saturday, October 4. Lyn has registration forms.
See you at the Market.
Note: The Market officially runs through Saturday, October 18. But if vendors still have produce, they can sell beyond that date.

Recipe: Here is a way to combine many of our local Fall vegetables in a hearty dish.
Roasted Fall Vegetables
With just salt, pepper, a bit of oil, and a hot oven, nearly every vegetable becomes sublime.
prep: 20 mins ; total time: 1 hour 20 mins; servings: 8
Ingredients
2 pounds (about 1 medium) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds red new potatoes (12 to 14), well scrubbed and quartered
1 pound medium red onions (about 2 to 3), peeled and quartered
1 pound carrots (6 to 8 medium), halved lengthwise, if thick, and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
4 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Cook's Note
Use shallow pans (such as baking sheets) and don't overcrowd vegetables. This allows vegetables to brown rather than steam.
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide vegetables and garlic between two rimmed baking sheets (or line with parchmentpaper, if desired, for easy cleanup); dividing evenly, toss with oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 40 to 50 minutes, tossing them and rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Serve hot or at room temperature.
