Let us help you enjoy this holiday a little bit more this year. Ditch the store. Grab a coffee or glass of wine and jump on that computer. We have so many items to make your holiday more easier. The only thing that we are not able to bring is the bird. Although, if you are having a small Thanksgiving, our 4 lb whole chickens can surely fill the spot.
Strength in Partnerships
What a last couple of weeks we have had. Very exciting times around here and consequently, for you too.
Since the first day (March 2003) that we broke ground on the farm and began this journey to change the local food system, I knew the mission was bigger than one person or one farm. To truly bring positive choices and changes to our New Mexico food culture, we would have to have many seats at the table. In order to change the community, it would take the help of the community. No superhero could make this shift happen.
Spooky Good
Alright you Trick or Treaters. Get those pillow cases ready because we have some awesome stuff coming your way. Last week’s newsletter covered some really important stuff, so I need to run it one more time for our every-other week customers to get their eyeballs on it.
Local Support: the Follow-Up
Don’t worry, I am not quitting my day job to start a Fruit Art Gallery, but I did just stuff my pie hole with the other half of this melon and wanted to share it with you. These came in today from Las Cruces. Holy Moly for some serious flavor. You’re gonna love them.
New Mexico Needs You!
Amigos, Foodies, New Mexicans, lend me your eyeballs. I need your undivided attention as we jump into the deep-end and look at a very important issue facing our local food system now. So grab your orange floaties and let’s do this.
Citrus and Fingerling Potatoes
Just as I wrote this newsletter last week, we had some great luck getting some tangerines and oranges in our paws. So we will be offering these dudes out this week for you to add to your orders. I do have one white flag that I am going to wave though amigos and that is the field run fruit. I have tried for years (literally) for our members to be able to eat with your mouth and not with your eyes. This week’s tangerines were the most perfect example of that. Slightly blemished but bursting with flavors. We got way too many phone calls and emails from folks asking for credit because their tangerines “looked” rotten.
October Field Report
Recipe Ideas Using Items from This Week’s Harvest Boxes
Green Chile Ravioli with Tomatoes
The Ripple Effect from Hurricane Irma. Nothing in life (and especially in the produce world) happens within a vacuum. A frost in California affects the produce markets in New York and a hurricane in Florida will shock the citrus availability throughout the country. The unfortunate part of all of this is that it may not be a short term speed-bump but rather a long term rebuilding process from the roots up. I’ll explain.
Harvest Boxes 3.0
Quick note on our Harvest Boxes and Dinner Bag. For several months we have been offering meal “kits” to help you plan and cook easy, delicious, and healthy meals at home. I have liked the idea of these for a while, but I have to tell you that I have not loved them. No goosebumps when I talk about them. This week, that changed for me and I have had a very profound Ah-ha moment. Don’t you love when those happen?
September to Remember
When I kick the bucket and have harvested my last breath, I hope that it will be September for eternity. I don’t think about the afterlife all that much, but if I could enjoy September every day, well…I would be a happy dude.
Spice Up September
Folks, a very interesting new product coming your way this week. New Mexico raised Shrimp! Harvested weekly, then we freeze them to preserve that freshness for you. Literally go from the water to the freezer. So fresh you will be amazed. Unfortunately, we have a very limited amount of them this week so will be highlighting them in our New Mexico Shrimp Boil recipe for the Dinner Bag
