Mache greens are a cold weather salad green akin to Tatsoi and are named thus as they are planted after the corn harvest.

Before this land can be worked it needs some water! It's dry as a bone.


What you see here is the removing of sprinklers. It's quite an undertaking on its own but many hands make light work.



Great work guys and gals!

Sometimes you gotta show a little love, sometimes you gotta show some gratitude. With the holidays rolling near we are taking stock of what we have and we are so grateful!

We want to give a special "thank you" to our many team members! We appreciate all your blood, sweat and tears ( okay, maybe not quite so dramatic πŸ€”).

Here is Friday's crew: Kevin, Olivia, Christian, Chelsea, Jim and Crosby.  πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Crosby, happy birthday to you"
Happy belated birthday, actually. It was December 12. He is 5.

From France's mirepoix (onion, carrot, celery) to Germany's SuppengrΓΌn (carrot, celeriac, leek) to the famous Holy Trinity of Cajun cooking (onion, celery, green bell pepper), almost every cuisine in the world starts with a common simple, balanced, vegetable base.

Today we salute celery! Where would we be without you (probably Blandsville).  πŸ˜„

So, I'm thinking about Corn Chowder. I'm thinking creamy, spicy and smoky!

I'm thinking "waste not, want not". After you've removed all the corn from the cob make a "corn stock" to use in your chowder! Basically, simmer corn cobs in pot of hot water till you've developed excellent corn flavor (about an hour).

Humidity 100%. Ugh, it's too much.
Fun fact: Humid days feel terrible in part because our sweat can't evaporate,
 making it feel much hotter outside. πŸ€—

As you can see we have fruit of varying ripeness, the summer has been "fruitful" indeed. :)

Crosby got high marks today - he caught a rat! Good job, boy!!
It took a while to get the perfect shot because he was avoiding the camera but all that changed when we reached the strawberry fields and then we was all smiles and yawns.

Hollar hollar penos. Jalapenos! They are small but they pack a punch. Candied jalapenos probably one of my favorites. Ever tried em? Imagine this lentil tacos with carrot ginger puree AND candied Jalapenos - sweet and spicy!!! yum, yum, yum. 

How do you eat your jalapenos??

If you look closely you can see two melons, one is dark green while the other is lighter with a raised crisscross structure called netting.

What's happening is that as the fruit matures the skin surface netting gets coarse and rough, the background color of the fruit turns from green to yellow and the tendrils near the fruit on the stem dry and turn brown.

So, what does all this mean? It's melon eating time! :)

These are newly planted squash plants.
What is with the plastic cups?
First off, they offer protection from all critters and, second; they provide a moist growing environment 
(think mini greenhouses).

Diplomat is an Galia Melon with sweet aromatic green flesh. Galia Melons are much more juicy and flavorsome than Honeydews. Galia melons are ripe when the skin becomes yellowish and the fruit gives off an aromatic fragrance.

Broccoli heads and Chinese Broccoli. Make sure to eat all parts of the plant, the stem can be particularly delicious. And the leaves too.

Did you know there are actually massive greens that broccoli heads spring from?

I'll admit they look intimidating, but they cook down deliciously just like any other green.
