The Farm Team Reunites for the Season Ahead

The Farm Team Reunites for the Season Ahead

by Douglas Brown | Mar 13, 2018 | arugula, biodynamic, Black Cat Bistro, black cat farm, bramble & hare, farm to table, farmers market, harvest, organic, pig, sheep

We could do without the wind — the physics that turns air tactile is not our farm friend. And we all could use more moisture, especially in the mountains. The snowier those peaks, the more reliable and abundant our summer and fall irrigation. But we will take the...
Winter On The Farm Leads to Seed — And Geese

Winter On The Farm Leads to Seed — And Geese

by Douglas Brown | Feb 11, 2018 | arugula, biodynamic, Black Cat Bistro, black cat farm, bramble & hare, farm to table, harvest, organic

Planting from seed? Not yet. Massive harvests? Soon, but for now the vegetable bounty is minimal. Plowing fields, dealing with irrigation, wrestling with pests? Nope, negative, not one bit. The plant part of our farm equation now rests, for the most part. But not for...

Our first frost in Boulder normally happens somewhere during the first 10 days of October, and sure enough, that’s what happened this year. As anticipated, the hard frost whacked the tomatoes, peppers, basil and eggplant for the year, as well as select greens...

The Balm Before the Storm

by Douglas Brown | Oct 6, 2017 | Black Cat Bistro, black cat farm, bramble & hare, farmers market, harvest

Winter is coming. On Monday. If you planned on making tomato sauce to put up or freeze; pickling peppers; cooking big batches of baba ganoush from local organic eggplants, calabacitas with summer squash and corn, or salsa with jalapenos and cherry tomatoes — well, you...
Pepper & Squash Palooza

Pepper & Squash Palooza

by Douglas Brown | Jul 21, 2017 | Black Cat Bistro, black cat farm, bramble & hare, farmers market, harvest

The first chunk of every farmers’ market season gets dominated by leafy things and rooty things — lettuces, kale, spinach, turnips, spring onions, radishes.   And then the fruiting vegetables begin appearing — peas are early fruiters, but the rest of the...
