Farm & Brew Newsletter for Oct 6, 2016

News & Happenings at Wishful Acres Farm & Brewery:

You'll notice that this newsletter now looks slightly different!  We are now combining all 3 of our newsletters (Farm & Brew News, Beer Share/CSB, and Veggie Share/CSA) into one weekly newsletter format.  There will be 3 sections, and you can simply scroll down each week to the section you want to read: "Taproom", "Beer Share/CSB", and "Veggie Share/CSA".

We want to take a moment to say Thank You to everyone who visited our Tap Room & Store last Saturday for our "soft opening"!  We had a great time and hope you all did, too.
Now Open, Saturdays 11am-6pm - visit our web site for location, directions, and more:www.WishfulAcresFarm.com

Recipe Corner!

Vegetable Lo Mein 

It's fall greens season here at Wishful Acres Farm & Brewery!  We grow many varieties of Asian Greens, all of which lend themselves beautifully to this Lo Mein recipe.  Simply substitute your fresh Asian Greens (just saute them first)  in place of the "frozen stir fry vegetables" mentioned in this recipe! CSA Members, your Pac Choi and Asian Greens in your shares this week will all be great in this recipe, and the stems of the Pac Choi should also be used, just chop them a little smaller than the leaves.
