Hello Members!
This is your friendly weekly reminder that the Farm Stand is open now until Monday at noon.
This week, we have some delicious and hard to find new products for you, ground cherries and chervil. I just love the delicate flavour or chervil in salad and omelette and look forward to fresh ground cherries all season long. We love to simply snack on ground cherries but have included some pretty awesome recipe ideas for those of you who are feeling adventurous! Click on the links above for some recipe ideas (in the chervil link, only the blue recipe links work).
We have made a few other changes over the last week.
The birds have continued to lay inconsistently and since we really hate to list things on the store then disappoint members when they are not available, we have decided to stop listing eggs for now. Instead, if we have eggs at the end of each week, they will be available in the self serve cooler for Friday farm pick up members. We will leave a piggy bank next to them for payment??.
We have also decided to cancel Farm Fridays. We really appreciate how supportive members have been and have enjoyed having a chance to get to know members who participated better but there is just not enough interest to keep this going from a business perspective so we will re-invest that energy into growing awesome veggies! We will still have our wood fired pizza of the week every Saturday at the Brockville Farmers Market.
Speaking of which, you may have noticed that eggplant is one of our most common pizza ingredients. We love its meaty texture and delicious roasted flavour on its own or in so many combinations. It is also our favorite sub for meat when we are making veggie versions of meat lovers' pizzas. Every time we include eggplant we witness eggplant sceptics transforming into eggplant enthusiasts before our eyes. SO...I have added some bonus eggplant recipes here for those of you who would like to try some new eggplant ideas:).
Wishing everyone an awesome week.
Your Farmers,
Greg and Kate.
