At the Farmstand: August 22-28

August 22, 2018 – 8:26 pm

Plums are the Highlight this week! Our orchard is really starting to mature and what a year for plums.  We have both Toka, which are medium sized, richly red, meaty, sweet and fantastically flavorful and Pipestone, which are a bit larger, have gorgeous yellow flesh and a blush skin, also lovely flavorful, but not quite […]

How we Love our Heirloom Tomatoes

August 15, 2018 – 10:44 am

We have now started full-on tomato season.  For most people, they are the star of the summer veggies and we all have our favorites. We choose our varieties primarily on taste.  We mostly grow heirlooms for that reason.  We are small, harvest often and can get them beautifully vine ripened and then directly to you. […]

Tomato Pesto Frittata

April 19, 2018 – 9:24 am

A little flashback of a recipe Penelope made for us years ago that somehow never got published.  This grey, snowy, icy Spring when many are dreaming of summer seemed like just the moment.  A touch of summer flavors while we are waiting for Spring and Summer. Whipped this up the other day for farmer lunch […]

  from our dear friend Liz This was an amazingly simple and delicious soup she made for us a few summers ago and we loved it!  Made from the Golden Rave tomatoes…I suppose it would also be delicious with another variety of tomatoes.  Perfect for these cool days in the midst of tomato season.  Enjoy!
