The Farm Stand Keeps on Going!
Thanks to your cooperation, we can stay in business and keep everyone safe! We believe its working to have three tables set up in the peak times to help alleviate the line up, and let people shop a bit more leisurely. Also, please try and park in our parking lot so we don't sprawl all over the road and create hardship for the neighbours.
Getting those Crops in the Ground
We've been transplanting as fast and furiously as the weather windows allow. Bob has been out on the tractor spreading compost and we've been following closely behind with the transplants and seeders. It feels really good to get the season off to an early start! I feel badly that the newsletter looks like a kid in kindergarten did the layout but it's all I can do to get you the visuals :)
On the Menu at Sea Bluff this week:
I’ve been embarrassed with the quality of the dregs of rutabagas and turnips that we've been putting out on the stand. Normally they'd just be in the staff and family bin by now but I've been feeling pressure to fill the stand. However, I was truly reminded this week of how mind-blowingly delicious they are. Sasha threw a Still Meadow pork roast in the oven, surrounded by culled rutabagas and turnips. Normally I'd say to cube them small and toss them in oil, salt and pepper. He didn't even do that - just big chunks dry roasted beside the pork. By the time the roast was done, two hours later, they had caramelised into the most divine morsels. We delicately savoured them in disbelief (and we're already hardcore rutabaga lovers) and went for seconds before touching anything else on the plate. To be sure, the pork was amazing but the rutabaga was the star by far so you'll see it proudly on the farm stand for at least another week.
