" And I’m just sitting on the front seat with two friends of mine,  going to the country sure makes me feel fine.
Hayfields are cut, harvest has begun; Riding through the orchards in the morning sun. 
Good times in the country, can’t you smell the air?   Apples and apricots and plums to spare."
Riding through the Country by Kate Wolf

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Herb Garden Zucchini Pizza from Country Living's 20 Best Patty Pan Squash Recipes for Fall Side Dish Ideas. If you're growing fresh herbs, this is a a great way to use them. If not, pick some up along with other garden-fresh veggies like patty pans, at your local farmers market. Find your locally grown Zucchini  from our two veggie vendors and try substituting a variety of Sheep Milk Cheese for the mozzarella from Shepherds Manor Creamery!

What is a Patty Pan Squash? These organic summer squashes range in colour from bright yellow to green to even white. They're very similar to zucchini but a tiny bit sweeter. Pattypan squash tastes best when young and small, you let them grow too much and they’ll taste like a potato. Learn more by reading: What in the World is Pattypan Squash?
