Try googling CSA and your county (if in the States), or CSA near your town. There's also local harvest.org, but they don't list everyone, and some of the 'too far to consider' farms will have local drop-offs.
My most recent discoveries are scalloped diakon and butternut squash bread [not entirely sure that's the recipe I used, but I'm at work, lol].
I found butternut squash bread because last year's harvest brought me no less than ten butternut squashes and I didn't want to eat all of them broiled or in soup. The bread is great - it's like zucchini bread or banana bread - light, mild, good with a bit of butter or cream cheese on top. I cooked down the squashes and froze the cooked innards, then made the bread over the winter, when I had more time (and partially because I couldn't have fitted all the fully cooked loaves into the freezer, lol). It's good and simple.
The second one's a little more complicated to cook but I'm actually delighted with the scalloped diakon because I've been trying to find a decent daikon recipe for years and everything either makes it too noticable (I don't actually like diakon, but I refuse to waste food) or it makes the dish bland and unappetizing. That scalloped daikon recipe makes them mild and tasty and just right for me. Daikon saves well, so my plan for diakon season this year is to just save them all up and make one large batch of scalloped daikon all at once.
I also made a really nice ground cherry tart once, but I've been struggling to re-find the recipe :( There are also fairly easy recipes for using display pumpkins to make pumpkin pie, which I often do: I'll process the pumpkin and make pie filling, freeze the filling flat in a Ziploc, them unfreeze it and stick it in a pie shell for Thanksgiving or Christmas. If I'm eating with someone, I can legitimately claim it's a pie made literally from scratch.
If anyone has questions, I'm happy to answer!
