some of the first milk of 2010, thank you goat mommas for sharing and making this goodness
What a grand life, one that has been worked on for many years…….did I ever say that I believe in the power of manifestation? Seriously! Imagine it, work hard to get there, and do whatever it takes. Feeling so satisfied, humbled, grateful and happy. Some pictoral highlights of this spring for me so far….
the first ducklings hatched out from my own ducks!!!
schatzi and lovey, running to me!!!
collecting ramp tops
milking
baby goats I got to watch being born, thanks to momma Desti who is so mellow
a delicious noodle dish I made for breakfast, with edemamebeans, frozen basil and an aged hard goatcheese I made two years ago- but was scared of. I grated it on top, and it melted in and was DIVINE.
I brought eggs to my Seward-area CSA members today, then to Mississippi Market’s Selby location (that’s a new location for my eggs!), as well as the West 7th spot, then on to Heartland, where the guys in the kitchen love to hear all the latest on the farm. Such a great place.
I’ll close with an excerpt from tonight’s menu at the Heartland Restaurant in St. Paul…….check out how Lenny Russo features my duck eggs!!! What an honor!
Baby romaine lettuce with English shell peas, spring onion and smoked duck egg dressing $10
Wild Acres duck liver terrine with cranberry mostarda and duck egg challah croustade $10
first CSA delivery for Seward customers tomorrow!
Monday, April 26th, 2010Oh all my winter planing has paid off and I am bringing some wonderful folks wonderful farm goodies tomorrow. SO excited to see the circle come fully ’round. This is what it is all about for me, the pay off for working 24/7 with my animals. Caring for them and providing love and affection- then they give back! What an incredible full circle I have going on here.
duck eggs.........oh dear!
