Harvest Season is upon us, which means that there is an overwhelming availability of fruits and vegetables. We are lucky to live in Colorado where we can take advantage of the locally grown fruits and vegetables from our very own state. Our farmer's markets specialize in local, and a visit to your local farmer's market will allow you to stock up on those fruits and vegetables for the winter.
Storing and preserving fruits and vegetables has been a traditional way to keep the abundance of the harvest season providing well into the winter. Blanching and freezing leafy vegetables and tomatoes, canning tomato sauce and salsa, and preserving berries and peaches will allow you to have these wonderful fruits and vegetables throughout the holidays and into the winter. By practicing these age-old traditions, our community reaps the benefits by continuing to plant year after year. We use less fuel to get these vegetables into our homes, and our lives become more simple and in a way, more nurturing. We are taking care of ourselves and our community.
Harvest season will only last a few more weeks in Colorado. As the weather cools off, it will be time to pull up the summer and fall crops and begin planting for the winter. So, take some time and visit your local farmer's market to stock up on the bountiful crop that is upon us!
Sublime Catering is doing our part by contacting these local farms and beginning the process of getting local fruits and vegetables for our events. We have already had several events request harvest menus, so if you are interested in learning more about these harvest menus for your own event, contact us and we will be happy to help you with your next event!
