We hope that everyone had a filling Thanksgiving! Our family farm is smoking one of our turkeys today (Friday) after spending a wonderful day in Fairfax with family on Thursday just because we wanted to try it out.
We WILL be open on Saturday from 10-3.
We have 4 fresh turkeys left which will be on sale for $3.99/pound (from the regular $5.99/pound) and we will be happy to add a second bag around it so you can freeze it! The turkeys are all in the 18lb range.
Fresh chicken is available as well for only $3.99/lb.
Some great news - we will be opening up sales of our LAST 2 steers for the year this weekend. We weren't planning on selling them, but decided we could since we are not at the farmer's market for awhile. We only have 2 and we do expect these to go fast!!
We do still have lamb and goat meat available on the farm - come and stock up! We won't have any more lambs going to the butcher until next year so when we run out...... that's it!
A new thing we got this week - WILD OYSTER MUSHROOMS! Picked from our farm by our son and a friend who showed him what they are. These sell in local grocery stores for up to $12/pound - these were picked this week and are only $7.99/pound!
Here's a recipe of what to do with them:
Oyster Baked Rice |
| Oyster mushrooms will transform plain brown rice into one of the best dishes you’ve ever tasted. |
| 3-3/4 cups water 1/4 cup olive oil 3 cups oyster mushrooms or other mushrooms, sliced 3 cup ramp (wild leek) leaves or scallions, chopped 2 celery stalks, sliced 4 cloves of garlic, chopped 1-3/4 cups basmati brown rice or long-grain rice 1/4 cup wild rice 1/4 cup amaranth 1 tbs. Bragg’s liquid aminos or tamari soy sauce 2 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. marjoram, ground 1 tsp. dried spearmint, ground |
| 1. Sauté the mushrooms, ramps, celery, and garlic in the olive oil 10 minutes. 2. Combine with the remaining ingredients in an oiled casserole dish and bake, covered, in a preheated 375°F oven 90 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. |
| Makes 7 cups Preparation Time: 30 Cooking Time: 90 minutes |
Other great deals on beef & pork will be available at the farm so we hope to see you on Saturday!!
Best wishes!
