From the farm to the kitchen… 🌱🍅

There’s something pretty special about turning the season’s harvest into supper.

Fresh tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions and garlic are hitting the pot, along with Italian spices and slices of cooked bratwurst. The kitchen smells pretty amazing right about now!

So, farm friends… what do you think I’m cooking? 👀🍅

Drop your best guess in the comments — I’ll show you how it turns out!
