Hello Folks, I hope you all had a pleasant Thanksgiving. Here at the farm we are grateful for relatively moderate temperatures during November. Thanks to the mild weather and to some hardy volunteers who came out to the farm this past Sunday we will have a fair amount of greens to distribute along with the stock up delivery this week.
Ingredients: 5-6 (about 1 pound.) medium/large carrots, trimmed, peeled, and grated ¾ cup of half-and-half ½ teaspoon ground cardamom ½ cup finely chopped golden raisins ½ cup ground, whole almonds ¼ cup white sugar ½ cup crumbled jaggery (unrefined sugar) or dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons ghee or melted butter 1 cup whole-milk powder (mava)* Garnish: a slivered or sliced almond
Hi Folks, The crops continue to grow very slowly, but that’s the way it is in November. We do have some broccoli that is big enough to cut, although not as large as I would have liked. We will continue the broccoli/ cauliflower alternation again this week, with Tues. and Wed. groups getting broccoli and the Thursday groups receiving cauliflower.
Hello Everyone, We are rapidly approaching the end of the season, and none too soon for my workers who are trying to endure the cold weather we have had this past week. The fields here are very open and the winds are often very strong. The crops have endured several nights of low 20’s temperatures with little damage, but things are growing very slowly.
Hi Folks, It’s been a very warm fall up to now, but now it would seem we are quickly entering winter. We have had lows in the upper 20’s these past few nights and today they are predicting lows in the lower 20’s for Tuesday night. We are scrambling to harvest or cover anything that might be damaged by these frigid temperatures.

Hi Folks, Things are beginning to wind down a bit here on the farm. We are done seeding and transplanting crops for harvest this season. We have finished digging the sweet potatoes and most of the white potatoes as well.
Hi Folks, I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful fall weather. There is no rain in the forecast this week, at least for the moment. This is good news since the ground is quite saturated.
For those of you who don’t go for the pork in your bean recipes, here is a lovely salad recipe from The Splendid Table.
Hi Folks, We had our first frost this past Saturday night. As warm as it has been, I was hoping we would get a couple more weeks from the warm weather crops. The old saying “you can’t always get what you want” is especially true in farming.
