Homemade PIzza is our favorite!
We don’t preserve very much food anymore, since we grow year round and think eating fresh is best! However there are some items we can’t do without during the winter. Canned tomatoes is one of those things! We usually can ketchup, pizza sauce and rotel. Then we can pull some out anytime and make an easy meal. This week we have very ripe heirloom tomatoes ready to can! They are in 10 pound boxes for $15 and can be picked up at the farm store Thursday or Saturday 2-5 during CSA pick up. Or we can leave a box for you in the cabin. Head over to the farm store to purchase and reserve yours now. They will need to be canned soon as they are very ripe. You can also freeze them and make them into something later. We will likely have some again, but grab them now while you “can”!
We are getting the greenhouses turned over to be ready for fall and winter growing, which is always a special challenge while also harvesting and weeding the rest of the gardens. But we are making good progress. We will soon be announcing the Winter CSA sign ups so stay tuned for that info. We hope to have the farm baby arrive before we begin that! But he or she is taking their sweet time to arrive! And I am looking like a swallowed one of our yummy watermelons whole!
We have been loving the cooler days and the animals have too. The thanksgiving turkey babies are growing great and our calves are getting bigger. The puppies will all go to their new homes this week so get one last visit with them Thursday as they will be gone by Saturday. The rain has been a blessing to the hay crop, we hope to do another cutting at some point. We will have new sausages for the September meat pick up and can’t wait to try them out!
So many blessings abound that we are so grateful each day. We may go to bed tired, but well nourished! We have really enjoyed seeing folks taking their time to visit the animals and get some sunshine and peace! And watching the little ones play in the mud puddle! Thank you for allowing us to grow for you! Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes for a safe and healthy delivery!
OH and if you find yourself with too much milk, my favorite thing lately is chocolate pudding! We made two gallons this morning so we will have nice snacks when baby does come! It’s not very hard and there are tons of good recipes online.
Blessings,
