Farm Friday

One of the farm-fresh breakfasts I made this week

Tomorrow is the last farmers' market of the year. As a result, I've been shifting my focus to my rapidly growing "winter" task list. So much gets neglected during the farmers' market season that I actually look forward to winter (did I just say that?). I've been scribbling lots of thoughts and plans into my journal and look forward to crossing off the tasks.

Here's some of what I've been up to this week:

• Applied for a Virginia Green Travel Stars Award
• Coordinated our feed order with some other farms that get feed on the same shipment
• Picked up my Azure Standard order
• Placed a Frontier Food Coop order (a friend ordered with me so I had enough to get free shipping)
• Made a new dish - arugula pesto over pasta. I added some cheese and chopped tomatoes on top.
• Baked a loaf of artisan bread (haven't done that in a while)
• Ordered some tins and herbs to make salves for the craft shows
• Ordered hardware to make key fobs for the craft shows
• Made some individual granola bags for a bride to give to her out-of-town guests
• Thrifted two nice cotton men's shirts for Bill to use as work shirts
• Revived my yoga practice (it has been a LONG time). I felt so much better afterwards.
• Started a batch of Fire Cider. I've been meaning to do this for a while but had a hard time finding fresh horseradish root.

Have a great week!
