With the first of the tassels out, crossing fingers, we're aiming for sweet corn by the end of July. That's in just 3 weeks time! Thanks to our fabric row cover and the humid, hot weather last week, the corn looks great. Let's just hope the raccoons don't agree!
While we're waiting for sweet corn, we do have frozen beef ready to make it's way to your dinner table. Watch for our beef sign at the end of our laneway or feel free to call or send us a Facebook message to set up a time ( https://www.facebook.com/DorisdaleFarm/). With school our for summer,,we can be sure that a Doris tween/teen or 2 are around to help you out! We have a good supply of steaks, roasts, burgers, ground beef, stewing beef...and a few briskets!
We also have fresh garlic scapes and will have more over the next week or so. They're delicious and we love them pickled, in pesto, in salad dressings, in pasta salad, sauteed with mushrooms/onions/pepper, wrapped in foil and cooked on the barbeque and on and on. The delicious ideas are endless. We're glad that those of you who had a taste, enjoyed our frozen pesto last summer! We're going to experiment with garlic scape soup this week.
Check our our blog for past recipes (search scapes) or here's a few more ideas from Bon Appetit on-line.
Do stop by to pick up some scapes which we're selling by weight.
