Fennel Harvest Celebration Dirt Dinner! Plus, Farm Store, Farmers Markets and Bramble

Eric picking fennel blossoms to harvest the seeds, from a couple of seasons ago.
We’ve got fennel fever over here in Black Cat Organic Farm World HQ. It’s one of our favorite vegetables, and it’s coming on strong in the fields. The plant stars in our next Harvest Celebration “Dirt Dinner,” on Monday, July 24. It’s also now available at the Farm Store, and will be for sale at our booths at the Boulder County Farmers Markets in Boulder and Longmont.

Asian Greens for Harvest Celebration Dirt Dinner! Plus, Farm Store, Farmers Markets and Bramble

A pepper plant with a small blossom. We planted quite a diverse lineup of peppers this year, including some hot ones. Most of the plants are in full flower now, and soon will yield gorgeous peppers. Look for them at our outlets, and stay tuned for u-pick events in August and beyond that will offer peppers and more.
And happy Bastille Day, too! The culinary professional side of our lives owes quite a bit to French cooking techniques, preparations and innovations. Where would we be without soufflés, crêpes, baguettes, quiche, terrines, croissants, a diversity of sauces and a bazillion other treasures? The answer: We’d dwell in a less grand place, one with far fewer gustatory pleasures.

Harvest Celebration Arugula “Dirt Dinner” + Wavy Wines Bramble Takeover

The month serves as a sort of a bridge at Black Cat Organic Farm. We thrilled our community (and ourselves) in April with bounties of sweet, delectable greens after a long winter when the greens bounty is parsimonious. Across the month, too, we prepped beds and planted seeds, and we spent quite a bit of time in the greenhouse, getting seedlings ready for transplanting. Lambing season normally gets going in April as well. While the fields still look fairly brown (not for long!), what’s happening beneath and at the surface is extremely consequential for the life of the farm.

As the growing season evolves from the sounds of trickling snow melt and temperatures spiking into the 50s last month, to highs reaching the mid-80s, the emergence of flowers and the greening of grass now, our work ramps up considerably.
