Farm Visit - Neville

The Farmers' Market is opening so many doors for me. I am meeting local
producers and really getting to know what is available right here. It is so nice to find farms like the one I grew up on.

Bill has a very special farm. It was developed previously by an ardent
agriculturist who planted a forest of firs and deciduous. He planted
several varieties of apples, acres of carraganas and built a quaint
home.

 Now Bill is carrying on the vision and has planted a wide variety of
perennials and fruits. He has Jerusalem artichokes, borage, comfrey,
black currants, several varieties of garlic, heirloom tomatoes and so
much more! I felt that I was constantly taking pictures but when I
looked at them, I wish I had taken more.

Borage

Jerusalem Artichoke

The free range chickens will be harvested soon and  needless to say, he has no problem finding a market. He also has free range turkeys. I hope I am one of the lucky ones to taste these amazing birds.



Thanks for spending so much time with us to share your vision. Bill is so creative in so many ways.

Sunday Morning and no food in the house

I am so so busy with the Farmers' Market and many times I have nothing to eat. Now that doesn't make sense, does it? This morning there is nothing I would like more than a proper weekend breakfast. No eggs. Hmmph. I would love to have an omelet.



So this is my take on an eggless omelet. Or in better moods I would call it potato hash. It is a lot like making a soup - just empty the refrigerator.



Sunday Morning Potato Hash



baby potatoes, 1/2" slice

yellow beans cut in 1" lengths

finely diced onion

mushrooms, sliced

Calabrese sausage, in small dice

duck fat



Heat duck fat in pan and add sliced baby potatoes and rest of ingedients. Stir until all are browned and turn the heat down. If necessary add a couple of tablespoons of water and cover pan with a lid to make everything tender. Serve immediately.
