One of my favorite things is being able to look down at my dinner plate and know that every single component of the meal came from our garden. We are not quite able to have meals with food totally from our garden but we are getting there. This weekend Anne and Liz made pizza topped with Endeavor Farm arugula, basil, and sauteed scapes and spring onions from our neighbor at the farmers market, Maple Crest Farm. Liz made a salad with our spring mix, Mackenzie Creamery goat cheese, and Maple Crest beets. It was simple and delicious!
This is our first head of garlic! We picked it to see how the crop is doing and although it is not quite ready for harvest, it is beautiful.
Bev was busy in the kitchen making currant jelly this weekend. Every year our yield is getting larger and there is nothing like the bright pink, and tangy yet sweet jelly on homemade toast on a Sunday morning. Check out Bev's blog for the recipe!
Grandma enjoys the fruits of our labor and is holding a huge head of lettuce. We have been enjoying lots of salads but as the weather gets warmer, the lettuce is starting to bolt. We'll plant another crop of lettuce later in the summer when it starts to cool down but for now we're not going to plant anymore greens.
We hope you are cooking up a storm in your own kitchens and enjoying eating fresh and local produce!
