Farm-to-Table Thanksgiving Recipes from Katchkie Farm

A Thanksgiving Message from Our Farm Family

As the fields in Kinderhook settle into their quiet winter rhythm, we take a moment to reflect on another season of growth, community, and gratitude. Thanksgiving always feels like the heart of our year — a time to celebrate the bounty of the land, the people who tend it, and the meals that bring us together.

At Katchkie Farm, every recipe tells a story of soil, sunshine, and care. From the hands that planted each seed to the families who open their CSA boxes with anticipation each week, we’re reminded that food has a way of connecting us — especially at the Thanksgiving table.

Cooking with the Season

This year’s Katchkie Farm CSA Thanksgiving Recipes collection brings together old favorites and new additions from our extended farm family. You’ll find classic dishes that celebrate simple, seasonal ingredients — squash, cabbage, apples, and hearty greens — all grown with care on our farm and shared with love from our kitchen to yours.

Joining us in the mix are two friends who bring their own culinary warmth:

Georgette Farkas, Great Performances’ former culinary ambassador, shares her Brussels Sprout, Green Apple and Swiss Chard Salad — a bright, textured side that feels as elegant as it is comforting.
Emilia Sochovoka, from our Embrace Wellness program, contributes a wholesome Fall Harvest Wild Rice with Apples, Kale and Sweet Potatoes — a nourishing dish full of color and balance.

Together, these recipes celebrate what makes Thanksgiving special: fresh ingredients, shared effort, and the joy of cooking something from scratch.

From the Farm to the Feast

Our Thanksgiving table always starts with what’s in season. Butternut squash finds its way into creamy purees and savory tarts; apples lend their sweetness to salads and crisps; and hearty greens — chard, kale, and Brussels sprouts — anchor the meal with color and nutrition.

Whether you’re hosting family or sharing a meal for two, these farm-to-table recipes make it easy to celebrate the holiday with food that’s beautiful, nourishing, and grounded in the rhythms of the land.

With Gratitude from All of Us

This season, we’re especially thankful for everyone who makes Katchkie Farm and Great Performances possible — our farmers, our cooks, our CSA members, and our community of friends who believe that food tastes best when it’s grown and shared with care.

We hope these recipes inspire you to fill your kitchen with warmth, laughter, and the flavors of the season. From our family to yours, have a joyful and delicious Thanksgiving.
