Tomato Tart - Market Meal
🍅
Our heirloom tomato season is upon us and we’re using every opportunity to showcase this fabulous seasonal produce!!  
🍋
Started with puffy pastry, made a boarder with searing knife and brushed with egg wash. Filled the pastry with ricotta cheese, sliced garlic scapes, fresh parsley and lemon zest. Sliced, salted and patted dry the yellow mortgage lifter, purple Cherokee and a red pear tomatoes. Layered them on the ricotta. Drizzled the top with extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Baked in the oven until golden brown and bubbly. Finished by garnishing with purple basil, parsley and olive oil. Paired it with a fresh micro green salad made with one of our blends, sliced garlic scapes and white radish. Tossed it in a homemade lemon vinaigrette.

Market Meal - sole served with smashed potatoes and a summer salad.

🐠Sole filets from Ocean Oddessey breaded in panko and fried until golden brown and crispy.
🥗Salad made up of our homegrown, beet greens, lettuce, arugula, sliced red cipolini onions, purple cherokee heirloom tomatoes and carrots. Also used fresh strawberries from Sparrows Nest Organic and salad white turnips from Sundog Organic Farm. Everything was tossed in a homemade balsamic vinaigrette.
🥔Boiled up River Bend Gardens red potatoes and then smashed them on a baking tray to ensure they got crispy in the oven. Seasoned them heavily with salt, pepper, our garlic powder and za’atar seasoning from Sweet Mezza.

Exciting news on the homesteading front, we traded a couple of piglets for two weaned lambs!! They are absolute cuties and have been getting comfortable with their new roommates. The goats are pretty excited to have some new friends in their pen!

Happiest of Father’s Day to our daddo! Thank you kindly for all the hard work you do to make our dreams come true. Hope you enjoy a day full of yoga and homemade Japanese chicken! We love you.

It’s pretty neat that Father’s Day aligns with Summer Solstice this year! The summer solstice represents peak masculine yang energy. Which is heavily associated with the sun. A perfect combination of events.
