Yay! The zephyr squash is back at Avalon Farms! Tasty and tender, with a hint of nuttiness. We’ve got a bunch this morning at Poplar Head farmers market in downtown Dothan. It’s overcast and cooler, and it looks like the rain will hold off. Come see us!

At last week’s farmer’s market, I had a lot of people asking how to cut up a patty pan squash. Here’s how I do it. 😀 The thickness of the slices depends on how you want to cook it. Half inch slices, oiled and seasoned with salt/pepper, then baked in the oven are great. (A little parmesan sprinkled on top is even better.) …OR… Small cubes pan fried in butter or bacon grease are awesome! Don’t be scared to try these beauties the next time you see them. Remember, it’s just another tasty summer squash! Check out our website at www.avalonfarms.us for where to get them. ​ #sustainablemarketfarming​
