Wednesday I actually had time to cook a recipe Ive been working on. Mushroom Black Tea Gravy- the most amazing mushroom gravy ever- hubby says it’s a food group. I experimented with a little filming, just in case it turned out well. Wednesday became paving project Thursday, then Friday more paving and market prep, Saturday storms and mayhem, so today is finally posting day! The sun is shining bright @beaconfarmersmarket and we have fans and ice tea and wonderful tasty cooking suggestions. Till 2. (Mushroom black tea gravy recipe will follow)

DELICIOUS! Started this year with chicken fried oyster mushrooms and cheese waffles. Continued with sweet lions mane and strawberry tempura. Our summer menu declares this the summer of mush love…and I am in love with mushroom poke. Poke may essentially be a fish salad, but it isn’t poke without the shoyu dressing. Our mushroom poke doesn’t celebrate the 🐟, (though you can include it), it’s all about the mushrooms 🍄🟫. And the shoyu dressing. Now, a vegan dish with a seafood adaptation! Jeff took this to work yesterday and non-vegan coworkers thought he had the BEST lunch.
Thank you to @letterboxfarmers, our neighbors at Chappaqua farmers market and source of shiitakes, @momodressing for the yuzu jalapeño auxiliary dressing that was a tasty extra treat, and @chappaquafarmersmarket and @beaconfarmersmarket for being our summer homes and endless sources of fresh food inspiration!
Come see us this weekend!

Have a Happy Mother’s Day! We hear all the time from mothers who LOVE mushrooms, but their families don’t, so they don’t get to eat them. Ah, the sacrifices mothers make. There are so many little things that make our mothers special to us. It is a wonderful day to remind them, or to remember, and to let them know that we have so mushroom for them in our 💕.

First Market season day in Chappaqua NY. Lovely tents, lovely neighbors. Who cares that we got to sleep at 1 and got up at 4:30!!! #lovingfarmlife
Today Chappaqua, tomorrow Beacon…what are we going to do this weekend Brain? Same thing we do every weekend Pinky…try to take over the world!
Market life gives us the opportunity to meet other farmers and food artisans that we really appreciate- today they were the inspiration for umami cream cheese. Never thought of it before but WOW! Mushrooms really make everything better.
Umami Cream Cheese
Soften your cream cheese in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before blending it with instant umami. About 1/2 tsp instant umami to 1 tbsp cream cheese. Add salt to taste, increase instant umami as you like. Enjoy!

Inspired- by @eggbertsfreerangefarm and Carrie pointing out that I could make tartare with her beef, it’s so good. Turns out she was right! Of course, no surprise I’m sure, I ended up making a chestnut mushroom spiced beef- Ethiopian kitfo style, inspired by @marcuscooks! The chestnut mushrooms and shallots are minced fine and sautéed in niter kibbeh with a roasted spice powder. I turned off the heat before blending in the beef (leb leb style is just slightly cooked) and the mushrooms and the beef and the spicy heat were married in the best possible way. Market days give so much food for thought. Apparently I’m feeling punny. Thanks Carrie! #tartare #kitfo #mushrooms #foodie #themushroomfarmerscookbook

Yesterday I saw what I thought was a sweet potato from across the market. I had all sorts of ideas about what to do with that sweet potato and some mushrooms. Then I found out it was a daikon radish, and really started thinking. This is what I mean by inspirational ingredients. Perfect timing, because today we have lots and lots of oyster mushrooms!
Hope to see you here:)

We have ART! This reel really doesn’t do the gorgeous new logo and labels enough justice, so come see the details for yourself. Thank you so much to Hudson Valley artist Ashlie Blake, who has graced us with her talent and mush love.💗 Don’t forget to pick up a (free) sticker and decorate with the gorgeous 4 Wall Farm pleurotus d’jamor.

Taking a moment to enjoy a sunset…mush ❤️
The lion’s mane mushroom is from 4 Wall Farm…the orzo dish is from our kitchen “laboratory” (as Jeff loves to say)…the filet mignon is from Steve at High Bridge Farms. Every”mmmmm” is priceless.
(I swear Steve sing his cows to sleep at night because happy cows are tasty cows.)

Recipe Below:
We’ve been pretty heartbroken these two Sundays. When something goes wrong on the farm, it can take 2 weeks to fix. Luckily, this is the 2nd week, so next week production should be in full swing.
Still, I had to do something to make it feel better, so I started working on a new recipe for dried mushroom medleys. It turned out even better than I expected!Forget our old Super Bowl nacho recipe, try THESE:
Nacho Mamas Nachos
2 packs dried mushroom medleys crushed tiny
1 cup hot water
1 tsp each: chili powder, smoked paprika, ground annatto (if you have it- I got mine at ShopRite)
1/2 tsp each salt, crushed red pepper, garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano, black pepper
15 oz can diced tomatoes
3 tbsp oil
Fresh cilantro
Pour the hot water over the crushed dried mushrooms and let it sit 5 min. Combine all the spices and sugar in a bowl, and add to the mushrooms, mix well. Let sit for another 5. Heat the oil in a skillet (use cast iron if you can), when it sizzles, add the mushrooms. Spread out so they cover the whole pan. Cover for about 3 minutes, then stir and spread out again. Do this two times more, when you stir, make sure you scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Uncover and add the diced tomatoes and about 2 tbsp of minced stem of cilantro. Stir and cook for another 3-5. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve on top of corn chips adorned with fresh cilantro leaves and cheese of your choice. Enjoy!
