This is the first of our new weekly 'incoming produce' (subject to availability)
blurbs from Camilla.
And so it has been another beautiful week of summer sunshine and singing cicadas. I hope that it has also been a good week for you.
At the farm, animals are keeping their cool by hiding in the shade, and the
permaculture garden is blossoming and buzzing with bees, making the most of the
summer harvest. They must have been inspired by the early rumblings of the
Autumn Equinox Harvest Festival coming up on March 18th!
This week we are excited to take delivery of the first of the Williams
pears. Perfect for popping in the lunchbox, poaching, slicing and adding to a
salad of fresh summer baby spinach, red onion, sprouts and fennel marinated
quark, or goats cheese and walnuts.
Summer fruit has certainly come into its own and this week we have both
blood and mariposa queen plums, beautiful cavendish and lady finger bananas,
more of those refreshing sweet and juicy lychees and seedless grapes, torpedo
watermelons, sweet honey dew whose scent should be bottled, as well as beautiful
crisp summer delicious apples.
In the savoury department, Macleay local Elizabeth is back on the scene
with inspiring shiitake mushrooms whose health benefits are boundless, and add a
wonderful nutty earthiness to any meal that calls for mushrooms. Dutch cream
potatoes are on their way out at the moment, but this week you could try some
beautiful Ruby Lou portatoes that are similar to Desirees and are a wonderful
potato to include in a summer potato salad, with eschallots, garlic, basil and
sour cream. Celery is also in again, baby spinach and a limited number of my
favourite English spinach, Cos lettuces, Roma tomatoes and new season Apple
Cucumbers. Goats cheese and spinach pie with lashings of thyme and salad is
definitely on the menu for us this week!
If any of this sounds appealing to your tastebuds, please don't hesitate to
