Friends!

Springtime springtime springtime!


Everything is looking exceptionally beautiful, and the baby plants are doing well. Here comes the cabbage. We turned some old windows and untreated lumber into cold frames. Miniature passive-solar houses for the greens! Spinach, Red Russian Kale, Asian Greens mix, Chard.


Our super-local Farm Quiche won first prize in a pie contest! All but the flour, salt, and pepper were ingredients gleaned from farm life. Try it, friends.


Crust: flour, sage, salt, butter, some milk, cider vinegar
Fill: 3 eggs, milk, chickweed, shredded sweet potatoes, bloody butcher corn turned hominy, salt + pepper
This happens in an iron skillet. 350. Bake till filling rises. About 45 minutes.

Oh yes, and Sprouts! Fenugreek, chickpeas, wheat berries, other beans or grains. Put them in a jar with something breath-able on top (wire mesh with lid, cheesecloth, etc.). Fill only about 1/8. Cover with water overnight. Rinse and drain upside down. Rinse and drain again! Again! Again! Every day! You've got sprouts come few days. That's for you Jen C. (I'll get a photo!).


Happy warm days ahead.
