Other prizes include: Gift certificates from Orange Tree Imports, Willy Street Coop, All Through the House, delicious dinners at Harvest, Johnny Delmonicos, bed and breakfast getaway at Arbor House, CSA harvest shares, cookbooks, magazine subscriptions, and much more!

The winners are in! See the winning recipes here (Word file).
