This Week at the Farm

Hi all,

Hope you are all doing fine. We are getting ready for a busy week ahead at the good ol' Tierra Vegetable Farm Stand.* We are finally bursting at the seams with lots of stuff for your dining enjoyment! You know, it is so easy to cook a great meal when the vegetables are freshly picked. You don't need to do much to them. They speak for themselves. Just throw them all together in a saute pan and you've got dinner! So beautiful with all the colors and flavors. Remember a chile to zip it all up!

Speaking of which, here's what we have for this week. I am sure I am forgetting something so you can check out the website www.tierravegetables.com and, hopefully, it will be listed there on the Farm Stand page. Here's what we have: Heirloom Tomatoes, Red Tomatoes, Romas including some heirloom Romas, Sungold "farm candy" Tomatoes, Lettuce, Cabbage, Broccoli, Strawberries, Gravenstein Apples, Eggplant, Cucumbers including a few Lemon Cucumbers, Summer Squash including Zucchini, Patty Pans and more, Chard, Kale, Fresh Shelling Beans: Black Coco, Marrowfat and Cranberry (yum), Sweet Red Onions, Garlic, Sweet Basil (and other Basils), Dill, Cilantro, Amazing Chiles and Sweet Peppers, Freshly Dug Red, Yukon Gold and Russet Potatoes, Tomatillos**, Padrones Chile Peppers, Carrots, Beets, Chard.

*WAYNE JUST TOLD ME THAT THE PUMP IS BROKEN, SO THERE IS NO WATER AT THE FARM TOMORROW. ALL CARROTS, BEETS, ETC WILL BE DIRTY AS THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO BE WASHED. WE ARE HOPING THAT IT WILL BE FIXED WITH IN A DAY OR WE ARE IN REAL TROUBLE.

Back to the list: Heirloom Dried Cornmeal, Dried Beans, Sauerkraut, Pickles, Hot Sauces, Dried and Smoked Chiles and Powders, Smoked Onions, Onion Salt and lots more.

So much from one small farm. I am in awe of our farmers, I really am..........

Taco Night reminder: All you can eat Tacos to benefit the White Barn. Friday, Sept 2 from 4: 30 - 7:30. Lots of fun. We may have a guitarist to entertain! White Barn will be open for all to go inside and check it out if you haven't yet.

We are OPEN TUESDAY - FRIDAY 11 - 6 AND SATURDAY 10 - 4

(**Easy Tomatillo Salsa: Take "papers' off tomatillos. Put in oven with a few slices onion, a garlic or two, a chile or two. Roast at about 375 until soft; not very long. Put in blender. Add cilantro/ salt/ pepper to taste. Enjoy.)

Thanks,

Evie
