We had another good weekend. We sold out 2 flavors, which is a 1st for us. One of them was our new brown sugar and peach, which we had 70 of or so....that's great. the other was the Orchard massacre/insanity, which we had about 30 of to start- they were surplus in our freezer.
We still haven't had the weekend where it just goes off. But that might be due to the weather, seeing as the hottest day we've had maybe got 78 degrees. Or it might be that a food critic who writes for the times hasn't dropped by, which happened yesterday. She stopped by while the best cheese man at the market was over talking to us, and he said, "if she mentions good things about you, you'll wish she never wrote about you." After the column they were mentioned in, people started showing up at their farm outsided Elma. Or the the middle of no-where for you Kiwis.
So we could see a big jump. Perhaps. But the word is out in the market for sure. We have vendors coming over to trade with us, thus making our Sunday Farmhouse Dinner series more spectacular.
Last night we had, provided by trades:
Smoked Salmon
Estrella Cheese (the aforementioned cheese dude's)
A potato and greens saute with chanterelles
haricot verts and infant carrots
tomato and cucumber bread 'n butter pickles
Blueberry Pie ( I made a lattice top too)
And we added:
Natural beef, grilled with lemon zest and parsley
Italian braised Romano beans with fresh tomato and bacon.
You should come over for dinner.
