The Quick n Dirty

November 4, 2016 by monte

Some amazing things coming your way this week. Fresh cut asparagus (or grass as they call it in the produce world). Ranney Ranch grass-fed ground beef is back. Tomatillo and Jalapenos for you salsa lovers. And gorgeous cauliflower. Let me please offer my 2 pesos on cauliflower for you this week. Oven roasted. I used to steam it and got turned onto roasting it or grilling it at 400 degrees. Wow, the roasting brings out an incredible side to the flower that I never knew it had. I like using our red chile lime seasoning to give it a little kick too.

I would like to take a brief second here to thank everyone who came out to help us celebrate the harvests and to clean the fields of pumpkins last Saturday. We honestly could not have asked for a more beautiful day. Crisp morning with tons of sunshine turning into a warm (almost hot) day. A good day to be surrounded by friends and food.

Friends of the Farm

October 13, 2016 by monte

I think that we all like to chew on new ideas. From cool new recipes, to interpersonal challenges, to feeding the world, we all have something that invades our thoughts more than everyday musings. And for a long time (over a decade now) I have been haunted by the shadow that good, fresh, healthy, and local foods have to be expensive. When I hear the phrase “Yuppie Food,” I get a pit in my stomach. But then I look at the numbers and they don’t lie. Unfortunately, good food commands a higher price tag.

Harvest Box Revival

September 30, 2016 by monte

We have frozen roasted green chile in the Harvest Boxes as subs this week. It has a good kick to it so I didn’t want to “force” it on anyone. But we will have it for a week or so (until it sells out)!

You have got to love the journey of the green chile. From sunbathing in the fields, to the fiery inferno of the roaster.

Green Chile Roast Time!

September 16, 2016 by monte

Huge reminder, the 20th Annual Green Chile Roast is this up-coming Saturday, 9/24. Well, actually it is only the 2nd Annual, but 20 sounds a lot more prestigious and awesome. The year is beside the point though. The point is an incredible celebration of people, harvests, and food. Come on out and fill your freezers for your winter needs.

Invasion of the Stone Fruit

September 10, 2016 by monte

A few things for this weekend. First off, we have never (in 13 years) had as much stone fruit as we do right now. Peaches and nectarines are coming off of our orchard at Excelsior by the truck load. One of the best growing season the Western Slopes of Colorado has had in a long time. Look to stock up on both of those fruit this week. The photo on the side is a nectarine tree soaking in the high altitude sunshine. We have a couple more weeks of fruit like this, so don’t hesitate to get an order in.

Cooking up the Green Chile Links and Chorizo Links.

If we had any more fun around here, you might think that we ran a circus and not a farm. Let me catch you up.
