Here Today: Dill from Kildara Farms

Kildara is growing more herbs this year so get ready to experiment with new recipes.  Dill goes very well with potatoes, tomatoes, beets and any kind of fish.  Try a potato salad with Kildara fingerling potatoes and dill or if you have beets left from last week add dill to your borscht! Coming down the line are tarragon and savoury!  Drying excess herbs is easy.  Spread out on a wicker basket or tray on top of your refrigerator. (Needs to be a warm, dry place out of the sun)

RASPBERRIES are big and beautiful from Maple Groove Farm in Cowichan!  We have had some delivery issues that mean they are only coming early in the week.  They are holding quite well and we have a test pint from last week in the cooler so if things are looking good the Thursday routes will have raspberries next week.  Thanks again for “Share-ing!”

Wendy at Westwind Farm says HERITAGE TOMATOES are ready for the first delivery in August!! Her speciality garlic is curing and might be ready too!

The Centre for Arts, Ecology & Agriculture was established at Foxglove Farm to demonstrate and interpret the vital connections between farming, land stewardship, food, the arts, and community well being; to model the economic possibilities for small and medium scale sustainable agricultural projects, and to nurture the human spirit through public programs, classes, and events.

August programs just posted!
