This Weekend at the Farm

Summer has arrived at the Tierra Vegetables Farm Stand!!! She was held up for awhile and is (we hope) planning on staying for a few more months! The Farm Stand is bursting with summer time goodness. There's so much variety you may have to look around the corner to find something you're looking for. From Apples (yes we have a few Gravensteins) to Zucchini, we have such a diverse array of produce. Everything grown right there behind the Farm Stand!

Here's what's what: Strawberries, Tomatoes including Red, Heirloom, Sungolds, Cucumbers including Slicers, Picklers and an Armenian or two or three (or more?), Colorful Summer Squash (yellow, light green, dark green), Sweet Lettuce, Chard, Dino Kale, Sweet Red Onions, Cabbage, Garlic, Eggplant, Sweet Peppers including Gypsy and Banana, Chile Peppers including Poblano, Anaheim, Inferno and the rest of the gang. Did I mention the Fresh Shell Beans? We have Cranberry, Black Coco and the Marrowfat. They are all there so you can come compare (limited supply of Marrowfat for another week or so), Broccoli, Carrots, Beets, Freshly Dug Yukon, Red and Russet Potatoes, Cilantro, Dill, Basil, Sweet, Sweet Corn, did I mention Padron Chile Peppers? These are the little peppers that are either very hot or very not. You saute them whole in a little oil until blistered (just a few minutes), then put on plate (if they get that far) with a bit of coarse salt. Take turns eating them and see who gets the HOT one(s). So fun. Lee takes most of them to the San Francisco market so if you need a bunch on Saturday, let me know and we'll make sure we save them for you. We'll have plenty on Friday.

Okay, onward; we have the Heirloom Cornmeal, some Dried Beans, freshly made Sauerkraut and Pickles, FRESH SALSA, Hot Sauces, Dried and Smoked Chiles/ Powders and Chile Jams. My apologies to whatever I am forgetting.

Not to forget the Taco Night at Tierra Vegetables: September 2 from 4:30 - 7:30. All you can eat chile/ vegetable/ cheese tacos to benefit the White Barn Project. We will have Kombucha from Revive Drinks, and you can bring your own beverages of course. We will also have dessert. Cost is $25 for adults and $10 for children under 10. ALL proceeds to the BARN FUND.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. The Farm Stand is OPEN TUESDAY - FRIDAY 11 - 6 AND SATURDAY 10 - 4.

Hope to see lots of you traipsing out to check out the glorious White Barn that was meant to be moved to the spot it's at!
