We're entering the lazy days of summer. The yearlings love to hang out in their hay feeder and eat while they lounge. The ultimate in decadence.
We just cut our third cutting of alfalfa hay yesterday, which means that Aaron, our herdsman, and his brothers will likely be baling over 1000 bales this weekend. The garden keeps "burping" up cucumbers by the dozens every DAY, so it will be pickle making time here pretty soon. Last Saturday's farm dinner was a beef extravaganza--our guests enjoyed both grass-finished and small-farm grain fed beef along with a medley of potatoes and veggies from our garden. The sweet corn gelato and blackberry cobbler finished off the evening as everyone watched a fire-engine red sunset and waxing moonrise over the 10 foot tall cornfield to the west. When the prairie shows off, it doesn't hold anything back!
This week we will be attending four farmers' markets: Urbana, Bloomington, Oak Park and Green City Market.
We have a nice variety of cheeses for you to enjoy:
Fresh chevre--plain, herbs de Provence and cracked black peppercorn
Angel Food
Little Bloom on the Prairie
Dent de Leon--these delicate little aged chevre balls with a natural mold rind are wonderful crumbled over salad, roasted veggies or pasta.
Ewe Bloom
Red Dawn--a variation on our Little Bloom dusted with smoked paprika
Moonglo
Roxanne
Also, since it is the end of the month, we will be bringing a limited supply of our fresh whole goats' milk ricotta.
We look forward to seeing you there.
This week at the Markets
