Pumpkin shakes? Local fast food in season?

Had to share this posting from Springwise.com

Many of our members grow and sell into the local market but this has interesting connotations for our ag tourism operators as well. The products look fabulous.

A pumpkin shake? Do any of our pumpkin farms offer these? Are their other local food creations that could be added to the menu's of our farm direct and ag tourism businesses?

Read about Burgerville from the June 8, 2009 Springwise newsletter:

"Fast food restaurants have long been domains of guilty indulgence, something that Burgerville is set to change. Although it's been around in the Pacific Northwest since the 1960s, Burgerville is committed to supplying its patrons with local, seasonal and organic food options.
Beef and cheese are purchased from hormone-free farms in Oregon, and all of Burgerville's produce is locally sourced—meaning customers won't find a strawberry shake in December. They will, however, find sweet potato fries and pumpkin shakes in autumn and Walla Walla onion rings in the summer. "
