This Weekend at the Tierra Vegetables Farm

Hello everyone,

Here I sit. I just checked the weather report and it says there's a 90% chance of rain. That means there's a 10% chance it won't rain! It's cloudy outside, but still early.

We shall see what the day/ weekend has in store weather-wise.

No matter what the weather, the Tierra Vegetables Farm Stand will be OPEN as usual. We have a huge variety of freshly picked vegetables and a growing one of processed goods with our produce! The Farm Stand in the Barn is cozy with the heater on and (I think) popcorn tastes for all!

Here's what we have: Lettuce, Italian Greens such as Pan di Zucchero, Traviso and many others, Rutabaga, Parsnips, Jerusalem Artichokes (Sunchokes) Parsley Root, Carrots, Beets, Celery Root, Onions, Shallots, Garlic, Fennel, Kohlrabi, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Romanesco, many Winter Squash varieties such as Butternut, Acorn, Delicata, Spaghetti and Kabocha, what else? Potatoes, Leeks, Kale(s), Swiss Chard, Salsify and maybe a couple of Puntarelle. Have I forgotten anything???? CELERY!

Some of the Heirloom Dried Beans include Petaluma Gold Rush, Black Turtle, Flageolets, three types of Tepary, Cranberry and more. These are getting cleaned up daily and we have more varieties all the time!

Chipotle Salt, Powders, Smoked Onions, Enchilada "kits" have returned!, the Heirloom Dried Corn Meal ready for your favorite recipes, Jams, Hot Sauces, the last of the PIckles. POPCORN!

We are open Tuesday - Friday 11 - 5:30 and Saturday 10 - 4. Hope to see you all!

Thanks for your continued support.

This Weekend at the Farm

Yes, It's true, FREE BABY BEAR PUMPKIN for purchases of $20 or more! These are very efficient pumpkins. They are cute, they are delicious to eat, and they have "naked" seeds which means the seeds have no hull so are easily roasted and eaten! You can use the whole thing. There's no hurry in cutting into them either; they will last for months (you may have to dust them once in awhile!) Come on in! We have slowed downed immensely and it's lonely in the White Barn. Here's a little incentive.

More incentive: Join the Frequent Buyer Program if you haven't yet. It's FREE! You get a card, which we keep at the Farm Stand. Every time you spend $10 you get a punch. With 20 punches you get a 10% discount!

The Heirloom Dried Beans are being cleaned up and we have more varieties now at the Farm Stand. We have a few Mitla Black Tepary, lots of Swedish Brown, Santa Maria Piquinto, Petaluma Gold Rush, Cranberry, Alubias de Tolosa and more that I don't know yet. They are beautiful and cook up quickly since they are so fresh.

The end of the Fresh Shelling Beans is here if you want to try them before going on to the dried ones. We have the Black Coco and Cranberry! Here's what else: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kales of many varieties, Chard, Onions, Garlic, Shallots, many Italian Greens such as Pan di Zucchero, Traviso, and Castle Franco, and more, Fennel, Kohlrabi, Celery, Celery Root, Carrots, Beets, Parsnips, Potatoes, Parsley Root, Leeks, Salsify, Jerusalem Artichokes, Rutabaga? maybe, hmmmmmmm what else? BRUSSELS SPROUTS, LETTUCE, LOTS OF BUTTERNUT, ACORN, DELICATA and other Winter Squashes, sweet, tender Lettuce and is that all???

Here's a link for a delicious Butternut Squash Soup using our squash and chipotles: http://www.tierravegetables.com/recipes.html

Wait! There's More! Pickles that are crunchy and a little spicy, Dried Chiles, Chipotles, Powders and other Dried products such as the amazing Smoked Onions, Heirloom Corn Meal for biscuits,

polenta, bread, Chile Jams, Hot Sauces and I think that's all.

Tierra Vegetables Farm Stand is OPEN TUESDAY - FRIDAY 11 - 5:30 AND SATURDAY 10 - 4.....RAIN OR SHINE!

Hope to see you.

Thanks,

Evie

Hi all,

It's a beautiful, if chilly and frosty, morning here. I was afraid it was going to be raining so I'm happy to see it clear. We need the rain but since we still have some of the dried corn to get in, it's nice that it has held off a day or two. The crew has been busily cleaning up the Popcorn and Grain Corn the past few days to get it in before the wet weather begins. Yum Yum

Guess what? We have Tomatoes! I was shocked yesterday when I got to the Farm Stand and Pablo and crew walked in with four boxes of Red (and some Orange) Tomatoes! They're not pretty, but they taste great. This is it for the Tomatoes for sure. Come on in this weekend if you want a few more tastes before winter. I am planning on Tomato Soup with Marrowfat Beans for dinner tonight!

Marrowfats? Yes, we have some and also the Black Coco and Cranberry Beans. These fresh shelling beans are special in that they cook up quickly and are rich and creamy. The window to enjoy them is short. They will be replaced by the Dried Beans which we can enjoy all winter long.

On to the list: Tomatoes, Cabbage, Kale(s), Chard, Carrots, Beets, Fennel, Celeriac, Celery, Onions, Garlic, Shallots, Broccoli, a bit of Purple Cauliflower, Fresh Chiles of many varieties, Fresh Sweet Peppers such as Pimientos, Bells and lots more, Sweet Lettuce, Chicories such as Pan di Zucchero, Escarole and more, Summer Squash, Winter Squash (Pie Pumpkin, Red Kuri, Butternut, Delicata, etc), a few Eggplant, Potatoes, Leeks, more that I am forgetting.

Smoked Onions, new Season's Heirloom Dried Beans, Chipotle and other Chile Powders, Dried Chiles, Pickles, Sauerkraut, Chile Jams, Hot Sauces, Hopi Blue and Oaxacan Green Corn Meals and whatever surprises await all of us at the good ol' Farm Stand in the White Barn!

OPEN Tuesday - Friday 11 - 6 and Saturday 10 - 4! Come take a walk in the field, hang out in the White Barn and get some vegetables while you're at it!

Thanks to you all!
