Laid up the last of the winter collards for sauerkraut. Apparently a southern tradition, Collard Kraut, a new and old world collaboration.
60 lbs collard greens, de-stemmed and ribboned
2% kosher salt by weight
Will ferment for several weeks and develop a lovely, natural pickle.

Salt + time + (fill in the blank) = complex flavors and joy

PECANS!

If you are one of the lucky neighbors to have had a giant pecan blizzard this year, and you’re sitting there thinking to yourself, “try as I might I can not crunch thought another bowl of raw pecans, shell on”.

Well you’re in luck! Because we have two pigs who would be happy to eat them for you!

TLDR BRING US YOUR PECANS PLEASE :) (if you don’t want them or can’t use all of them!). They make excellent pig food and they would love to have them.
Drop them inside the gate anytime!

Hello from France! Bonjour à tous!

This is Culinary Director doing a little takeover of the Elmwood Farm instagram for a little bit to share with you all this amazing opportunity I have been able to take to take part in: a boucherie and charcuterie course in the farming villages of southwestern France (known as the Gascony region) called “A Well Kept Pig”.

This course is led by the expertise of and .france who have spent years learning, preserving, and teaching the art of French butchery and charcuterie. They have built relationships with local farmers and producers and are handing down these frugal, thoughtful, beautiful, humble, peasant traditions to the next generation.

It is my aim and my honor to be able to step into this old way of life, one that honors land and beast and person. I hope to learn as much as I can over this two week course and bring some of this rich culture and tradition back with me to share with our community. It’s not a fussy cuisine built with tweezers (no shade!) and only accessible for the wealthy. It’s true nose to tail eating that is comforting and wholesome. It brings with it a relational and communal beauty that is only formed when common bonds force people to lean on each other.

With no further ado I wanted to say I’ll be sharing as much of this experience as I can with you all, and I can’t wait to make saucisson, pâte, et jambon with you all in Texas soon!

Thanks to and for the awesome feature! We’re proud of our little herd-flock. And proud to be a voice for slow, thoughtful, beautiful food.

This year at the farm, we are focusing on introducing two essentials: animals and tree crops. I want to back up a little bit and explain the “why”. If you live in Oak Cliff, raising livestock in the city isn’t anything new. (Shoutout to the house at the Tyler/Polk roundabout with both sheep and chickens). Nonetheless, animals are not a common sight on urban farms. In regards to the trees, we don’t know if Elmwood Farm will exist in twenty years when they are tall and grand. What I’m getting at is that these two aspects of a farm pose challenges and risks in an urban context, but we don’t believe you can farm sustainably without them. They are the foundations of an ecosystem that can provide food, fuel, and fiber in with longevity. This is what farms do. They provide food, fuel, and fiber over the span of generations. This is all difficult to imagine and put into practice in the city. It’s a thoroughly paradoxical exercise, which is why it’s necessary for us urban dwellers. Read The Rest - Link in Profile

Vinegar Trial Update

We had successful acidification on all five native Texas Grape varietals! Cloeta was our favorite wine, we shall see if it remains our favorite after the vinegar mothers have spoken with it.

Taste testing soon! (Though we’ve already used one of them in some Hoppin’ John and it was 👌)
