New Momma pig and piglets are all doing well and enjoying a fresh bed of hay. They will be resting inside for a few days before venturing out into the pasture.

Please stop by the farm to see the pigs and all our other animals this Sunday August 5 from noon to 3pm during our ‘Market Day’ open house. In addition to seeing the animals we’ll be offering free hayrides, dairy samples (cow & goat), live music and pulled pork meals with fresh from our farm ingredients (a $10 donation is suggested).

Corn and Potato Chowder Soup

Please join us this coming Sunday July 22 from noon to 3pm. Our guest chef will be Raquel Osorio, a native of Brazil, who has a passion for cooking healthy and delicious food for the community.  She uses mostly LOCAL and ORGANIC ingredients for all her dishes. Raquel has cooked for many celebrities including: Amy Irving, Steven Speilberg, Harrison Ford, Annie Liebowitz, Susan Sontag and Ben Kingsley to name a few! She has also worked and been chef at many NYC restaurants and catering companies throughout the years. She now lives in Red Hook and hopes to begin a new catering company in our area. Come sample her delicious soups: Gypsy soup (vegan and gluten-free) she suggests adding our roast chicken if you prefer and a Corn and Potato Chowder soup (using our raw cow milk) in which she suggests adding our pork sausage! Raquel will be offering Coconut Fried Sandwiches with chipotle mayo (again you may add our chicken) and Veggie Burgers for the vegetarians in our midst! She will also have Savory Muffins made with our ground beef. All items (except the soups) will be made to order – so come visit us at the farm from Noon to 3pm this coming Sunday July 22. The soups will be available in containers to take home and enjoy over the course of the week! But they’re so good you may finish it in one sitting – I know I did!

Update From the Farm

Things are going great at the farm and there are some changes happening! We have some new items in the stand that we’re really excited about. We are now selling our own butter in addition to the yogurt and farm cheese we continue to stock. You can now find fresh herbs in the stand as well! We’re selling parsley, thyme, rosemary and lovage, which are all perfectly paired for our meats: great in marinades, sauces and as a garnish. We’ll be offering some homemade goodies as well: look for pies (apple, strawberry & rhubarb), jams, and sauces over the next couple of weeks.

In addition to these new things, we are trying to offer more items based on our customer’s preferences. If there is anything you would like to see more of or especially liked, please drop a comment! Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

If you haven’t had a chance to come by and see the new hoop house, the growing gardens, or our adorable baby lambs come on by! Please remember there is no market day this weekend in honor of Father’s Day. We’ll be resuming the following Sunday, June 24, with some chicken dinners!

Cheese tips!

This was sent to me via some Culinary friends regarding flavoring our pot cheese or keeping it plain….
You might be limiting yourself if you make the cheese flavored, i.e. adding basil when some don’t like basil. It might be nice to suggest some savory things like garlic, rosemary, basil and olive oil to the customers so that they can easily adjust the flavor! When we used it, we crumbled it with some olive oil, salt and granulated garlic and it was great.
