We love seeing our produce transformed into beautiful dishes!

Almost forgot a pic of the soup…. This is fresh made tomato! Roast the veg on a sheet pan, puree, heat & add a bit of vegan cream. Super simple end to summer. Thanks to everyone for making the evening possible. 😘

Few better ways to start a Monday morning than sipping coffee on the front porch, listening to the rain, and starting another round of seeds

🌻

We start a lot of seeds that say "direct sow" in seed starting trays. It helps us ensure the baby plants survive and that squirrels don't eat them!

Our new favorite tomato to grow for sauce making: Amish Paste from

These tomatoes are considerably larger than the Romas and San Marzano tomatoes we are used to growing for our sauce and tremendously meatier. They were so easy to peel after roasting and have a very robust taste perfect for some "spicy sauce."

Beautiful dishes made from beautiful produce!

Here is the whole meal in one place. Squash fritters (recipe from ), chili crisp tofu with smashed cucumbers and tomatoes ( ), tomato bruschetta…this was my fave ( ), collard leaf wraps stuffed with eggplant, zucchini & chick peas with a ginger peanut sauce (my recipe), tomatoes with housemade balsamic and vegan mozzarella, pistou (kale, basil, lemon, EVOO & salt), and a chocolate cake that was just sweet potato, cocoa and dates. Thanks everyone! Recipes will be sent in a bit. I will enhance my cocktail skills for next class. All produce is from …. Well… i grew the basil! 🌿

Personalized care is what sets these ladies apart from others. Twice-daily wellness checks, custom diets made with organic non-GMO grains, their own veggie garden, plenty of room to scratch and dig for bugs and worms or to just sunbathe after a dust bath is what makes their eggs so rich and delicious.

Taste for yourself through the Lexington, KY hub of Market Wagon!
