My local food

The local portion of what we're currently eating on the farm. Produce is grown here, except as noted. Prepared foods contain mainly local ingredients, not necessarily organic.

In the field: arugula, broccoli, beet greens, chives, garlic scapes, herbs (lovage, oregano, parsley, sage, thyme), mesclun, spinach

Cold storage: eggs (on-farm)

Freezer: beef, chicken, tomato sauce, turkey
Meats are purchased, small-farm, more-or-less organic, except for our own chicken.

Dried: hot peppers

Bottled: jams & jellies, honey, hot pepper sauce, maple syrup, mustard, pickled beets, pickles, relish
All purchased or gifts, small kitchen.
