DRIPPING FOOD: ONION CREEK FARM STAND OPEN FRIDAY!
Speaking of Marianne of Onion Creek Farm (1611 Creek Road), her farm stand will be open Friday, from 3:00PM - 5:30PM.
She will have:
Farm Fresh Eggs. Marianne reports that big a Red Tail Hawk has discovered the big red hens, and she lost one Wednesday afternoon, so the hens haven't been quite as "free-range" the past couple of days.
Red Barn Beef. From local neighbors and raised with no antibiotics or hormones. She'll have ground round, ground beef, a few cutlets, and liver.
Certified Organic Produce:
Lettuce (Romaine & Green Leaf, mostly hearts after trimming). She plans to sell all the lettuce this week, as it will not take this heat and no rain after the beating of last weekend.
Green Chard
Red Beets (with lush tops). Babble note: We bought a mes of beets last week and substituted grated fresh beet for carrot in a recipe for carrot cake. Scrumptious!
Spinach (rinsed 2x, spun dry). Limited until further precipitation.
Cilantro. She wants to sell all of this as well.
Radishes. Few if any.
Garlic. She will offer the rest of last season crop, still firm, just starting to sprout.
And, finally, she may pick a few bunches of young French Shallots, to use as a "green onion".
And, perhaps as encouragement that we should always be praying for rain, Marianne notes that "If it had rained much at all this last year, we would be eating asparagus right now!"
