Backyard Barbeque Dinner Menu and Andersonville Farmers' Market
Posted 6/28/2010 4:01pm by Leslie Cooperband or Wes Jarrell.
Greetings from the farm!
I realize it is a bit early in the week to be receiving an email from me, but I am so excited about the menu Chef Alisa has dreamed up for our next farm dinner "A Backyard Barbeque" that I had to share it with everyone. I especially want to share with those of you who will be attending the dinner so you can plan your wine and beer selections to accompany the meal. We're featuring chicken and beef from Triple S Farms in Stewardson IL, and farmer Stan Schutte will be our guest of honor that evening.
To view the menu, go to our website (www.prairiefruits.com) and click on Dinners on the Farm, then "Dinner Descriptions and Make Reservations." Look for the "Backyard Barbeque" dinner and then click on "more details" to find the description and the tentative menu. The house-made veggie pickles are sure to amaze everyone.
I also want to let Chicagoans know that we are now attending a mid-week farmers' market: The Andersonville neighborhood farmers' market, every Wednesday evening from 3-8PM. This week, we should have plenty of fresh chevre (plain, herbs de Provence, cracked pepper), Angel Food (our brie style cheese made with goat milk), Little Bloom on the Prairie (our signature goat milk camembert style cheese), Ewe Bloom (mold ripened sheep milk gooeyness), Black sheep (a soft ripened sheep milk cheese with ash on the rind), Prairie Dropseed (a blend of sheep and goat milk in a delicate mold ripened ball--creamy crumbly texture that is perfect for a salad or to finish a pasta dish), Roxanne (a raw sheep milk brebis-Pyrennes style; aged 2 months; semi-hard with a buttery and slightly nutty flavor) and some of our melt in your mouth sheep milk ricotta. Please come visit Cesar at the market and he will sure to give you a taste of all of these cheeses.
