Happy Brithday

This past weekend was Danielle's birthday. No I am not going to tell you how old she is, you do not get to be married for 12 years without learning some things. Much if not all of our celebrations (birthdays, holidays, etc.) are organized around food and this one is no different. Eggs Benedict is Danielle's favorite breakfast. In fact she would probably be happy to eat it for any meal of the day. This time it was special since we were able to make the entire meal from our own farm produce. The bacon was from our first round of pigs, the eggs were fresh from the hens and the potatoes were grown this spring. Even the herbs and berries were grown on the farm. The only things not produced locally was the English muffins, the butter in the sauce and the salt and pepper.


The weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed Danielle's birthday brunch out on the patio, although the mimosas destroyed my productivity for the rest of the day.


Happy Birthday Honey!

Labor Day Farm Feast

What do you get when you put together farm raised baby back ribs


with corn and beans right out of the garden?


A delicious Labor Day meal.


The whole family enjoyed the feast,


although the kids were disappointed that the nice large watermelon we picked was still not ripe.


Maybe the watermelons will be ready by October!
