Farm Happenings 10/11/21: Enjoy these fine fall days! / Update from Songbird Farm

Posted on October 5th, 2021 by Daybreak Growers Alliance

A fall favorite shows up in boxes this week - brussels sprouts from Marr Pond Farm - delicious sliced in half, tossed with oil, salt and pepper and roasted in a 400° oven until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. All the makings for a meal with a southwestern flare are available - roast sweet potatoes; cook black beans; chop chili peppers, ginger, sweet onions and cilantro; toss with dressing and accompany with salsa. Customize your box to include ingredients for complete meals - Common Wealth Farm is offering pasture-raised half turkey breasts and legs, whole and spatchcock chickens and their chicken grill pack; pork sausage, shaved steak, stir-fry sirloin, bratwurst, bacon, hot Italian chicken sausage and lots of other meat options available from local meat producers to add to your box. Add a sweet treat of Maple Cream and Syrup from Kinney's Sugarhouse to your box!

Email farmers@daybreakgrowersalliance.com if you have any questions about your account or customizing your box.

Thank you for supporting Maine farmers and food producers!

 

Update from Songbird Farm

We are in sweet potato harvest mode here at Songbird Farm! The plants grew really well this year and the yield is looking good: lots of big beautiful, orange, yellow & white fleshed tubers. We're starting to harvest the greens in our high tunnels as well. These we plan to harvest all through the winter months. Its a busy time. We're loving this beautiful weather!
