This week we’re reflecting on an outstanding season for Bates field hockey, as they won the NESCAC for the first time and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the second straight year. 

Plus, not one, not two, but three Bates cross country runners are headed to the NCAA Championships, and both basketball teams got off to strong starts. And with it being International Student Week, we chat with one of the most valuable members of the Bates football team….who doesn’t even play. All that and more...

Harrisonburg Farmers Market Offers Local Thanksgiving Recipe Kits
HARRISONBURG, Va. — With Thanksgiving just days away, the Harrisonburg Farmers Market is making it easier for families to serve fresh, locally sourced dishes at their holiday tables. On WSVA’s Spotlight on Valley Agriculture, Sarah Gorman, Market Manager, shared details about a special program designed to bring farm-fresh ingredients straight to local kitchens.
The initiative offers curated Thanksgiving recipe kits, similar to popular meal kit services—but with a local twist. “Instead of having it shipped from all over the country, you can get your recipe kit right from the Harrisonburg Farmers Market,” Gorman explained. Each kit includes raw ingredients from area farms and detailed recipes to guide preparation.
Five featured dishes are available:

Honey-Glazed Carrots
Apple Cider Roast Chicken (turkey is sold out)
Maple Pecan Roasted Squash
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Focaccia Stuffing

Additional pantry items, fresh breads, apple cider, and desserts such as pumpkin rolls and deep-dish pies are also available. For those with dietary restrictions, vegan and gluten-free options like chickpea salad are offered.
Order Deadline Approaching
Orders for pre-packaged kits must be placed by Friday, November 21 at HarrisonburgFarmersMarket.com. Miss the deadline? Shoppers can still download recipes online and purchase ingredients at the market on Saturday or Tuesday—the final Tuesday market of the season.
Market Hours and Seasonal Highlights
The Harrisonburg Farmers Market operates Saturdays and Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday markets run year-round, while Tuesday markets resume in April. Seasonal offerings include a wide variety of produce and unique items like heirloom dry beans from Ulmer’s Mountain View Farm. One standout variety, the “orca bean,” is prized for its creamy texture and striking speckled pattern—perfect for hearty winter soups.

Oakford Pecans - a story of discovery and ﻿﻿Pumpkin/Squash update

Linda Eilks grew up on a farm outside of Oakford, Illinois. After careers at both IL Extension and U.S. Department of Agriculture, she retired and moved into a home within the village of Oakford. There she was faced with an abundance of pecans falling from the trees in her yard. She researched what to do with them and found some interesting historical facts about the pecan trees in the area. She will talk about pecan trees in general, those that grow around Oakford, and especially those that grow in her yard.

Many moons ago, Catherine Lambrecht was a University of Illinois Extension Master Food Preserver instructed by Linda Eilks. As it happens, Eilks now lives in the region where pumpkins are commercially grown (80-mile radius from Morton, Illinois). Knowing Lambrecht was looking for a Dickinson Squash, Eilks found one of these squash for her. Lambrecht will update on her experience. One piece of wisdom: all pumpkins are squash, but not all squash are pumpkins!!
