Who doesn't love the changing of the leaves, sweater weather, and all the fall colours? With Fall comes pumpkins peeking out of the green in our pumpkin patch. They're waiting for you... and almost ready to be picked!

Forsythe Family Farms 2009 Inc already has a wonderful bounty of Fall crops. You will want to be sure to pick up some Gala apples, which are now available in the farm market. Gala 
apples are vertically striped or mottled, and usually an orange-ish colour. Gala apples are sweet, aromatic and can be enjoyed on their own, cooked, or added to salads . The first Gala apple tree was one of many seedlings that resulted from a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Kidd's Orange Red planted in New Zealand in the 1930's.

Also in the market now is butternut squash. This variety has a has a sweet, nutty taste similar to pumpkin. It is enjoyed roasted, toasted, in soups, or mashed and used in casseroles, breads, and muffins.
Not only are Gala apples or butternut squash delicious on their own, but together they are an unbelievable combination! I want to recommend this recipe for an appetizing Butternut Squash and Apple Soup: Click HERE
