Squash Blossoms in the NYTimes-Summer2006

Squash Blossom season is peaking, again, at Windfall Farms. They'll be available every Wednesday and Saturday until we get our first frost, which is a far off thought considering the hot and humid days we are enduring. Here's the link from the NY Times Food Section regarding the Blossoms, it's still pertinent 2 years later.
In addition to the restaurants listed in the article, I suggest heading to Casellula. I ate their stuffed blossoms last summer and my mouth has been watering for them ever since!

Most frequently asked question: "Are you organic?"

We used the term "organic" to describe Windfall Farms before the United States Department of Agriculture began its national organic certification program. It set a lower standard than the original certifiers, allowing large industrial farms to be called "organic" while maintaining many unethical agricultural and labor practices. We no longer endorse the term, but still endorse many organic farms and organizations that hold themselves to higher standards.

We suggest you don't trust the term "organic" to mean you are getting any combination of local, fresh,poison-free food, which incidentally is what we grow and sell.
