At the Farmstand: April 20-26

Spring Salad Greens are PLENTIFUL!  Salads at every meal, don’t underestimate the potential for a breakfast salad.   Our favorite new salad topping…frozen blueberries and we are restocked from Spotted Dog Farm. Our road has more rutted spots.  Not bad if you have clearance, challenging if you don’t so feel free to place an order and […]

Turkey & Spinach Curry: Mark Bittman

Photo by Evan Sung for The New York Times Curry…what a nice way to celebrate these longer, yet still crisp days.  And if you have leftover turkey or chicken, what an easy meal! You can cook turkey just for this meal or roast a turkey breast or thighs and use the leftovers.  Would also work […]

But our (and the orchard’s) […]

Saag Gosht

We had heard the description of this recipe for a several years from one of our Farm Share members and it always sounds so good. Last year, Molly typed it up during spring greens season, but it is also great for this fall cozy season!  Thanks to Molly for the recipe and photos! This is […]

Back to the Farm Room

This week included some time back in our farm processing room.  The results are tasty and satisfying.  We have let the room be quiet for some time this winter to allow farmers time to rest, reflect and get to some other projects. But it has been calling, promising more sausage, soups, pickles….and we answered the […]
