Beautiful Broccoli for Harvest Celebration Dirt Dinner! Plus, Farm Store, Farmers Markets and Bramble

Broccoli in our fields this month.
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.
