Fall has arrived! But we still have some luscious summer veggies, but not for long!  Enjoy them while you can.  Tomatoes are coming to an end as are the peppers which have been so completely fantastic.  I am in love with their sweet crunch!   And we are restocked with Field Stone Farm Pizzas (great […]

Canning in Bulk!

September 2, 2015 – 5:21 pm

Really that should be harvesting, canning, dehydrating and freezing in bulk!  August and September are busy months.  Not only are we still tending all the livestock and crops in the field, but harvesting them in earnest and then turning some portion of that into delightful options for the colder months ahead.  Some days veggies will […]

Eggplant Carnitas

September 2, 2015 – 10:26 am

We made this as a veggie option for a farm taco supper a few years ago, but it was super popular with all and quite easy.  A great base or mixed with some of our pasture raised meats and there is still the ingredients for fresh salsa! Adapted from SweetBeetandGreenBean.net  1 large eggplant (about 1/2 a […]

Roasted Green Chili Sauce

August 26, 2015 – 2:16 pm

This is one of our favorite sauces…sort of hot sauce, but not so hot, and wonderful on tacos, enchiladas, eggs..well most things truly.  Lots of variations available, but this one adapted from NY Times hits the spot. 2 tablespoons lard, bacon fat or other leftover animal fat or butter 1 small onion, finely diced Kosher salt […]

Wow, August abundance is here, no doubt.  The challenge is just how to enjoy it all!  Just how many meals can include fresh, delicious tomatoes? And for the first time we have our own organic plums for sale!  An orchard is an investment and we have been waiting 6 years, but we have a great […]

Heirloom Tomato Plum Basil Salad

August 19, 2015 – 11:27 am

This one’s…mandatory.  It’s…euphoric, delightful, the perfect lip-smackin’, no-lettuce-needed salad for summer. Though on a bed of lettuce or arugula it would be lovely! Some of Mari and Laura’s friends introduced us to this dish with peaches a few years ago, and yowza! are we glad for it, but now having fresh farm plums as well […]
