A savory twist to sweet potatoes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this dish, I placed 3 sweet potatoes into the food processor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then they were sauteed in the pan with just a touch of butter, </div>

salt, pepper, and sage.</div>

Another nice spring veggie to enjoy...Swiss Chard! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most people in my family didn't like Swiss chard before because of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tart after-taste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dish certainly changed their opinions on Swiss chard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A bunch of Swiss chard cut to 1" pieces, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stir fry the stems in the pan with some oil, diced garlic, and lemon zest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let the stem cook for a while before adding, the leaves,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lemon juice and salt to taste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lotus onion anyone?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cute fluffy chicks! In about a weeks time they will start to grow and molt...the ugly stage. At this stage it is very important to keep an eye on "chicken stacks". They love to pile on top of one another and the poor chick on the bottom usually end up as a chick-pancake.</div>

The snowfall that covered the ground earlier in December was fun for some animals but not others...<br />
Our ducks didn't mind the snow but they missed their bathing water...<br />
which was frozen solid. </div>

The vegetables didn't like the white stuff as much as the ducks...these were kale that we forgot to cover. Now that the freeze is over, some survived but some ended up in the chickens' feeding trough. </div>

Portabella mushrooms have been appearing at our market at end of every month since June this year. They usually sold out before the market is over. We love ours done up with a bit of shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and pepper. How about you? Come by and share/swap recipes. We always love to hear new ways of cooking produce we grow and sell. </div>

Kohlrabi....a stranger to most people....what to do with this wonderful yet alien veggie? Well, the simplest way to use up a kohlrabi is to shred it and add a pinch of salt to it and let it sit for an hour or two in the fridge. Before serving, drizzle with a bit of sesame oil and voila...you got yourself a refreshing appetizer. </div>

Many people that came by our stall at the Haney Farmer's Market asked about the blue egg chickens. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are the Araucana/Americana with quite interesting feather patterns. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a picture of the rooster. He is very feisty. Even when you think you have him under control, he would sneak a peck or two every now and then just to test out who is still the boss on the field. </div>

Too bad for him though, a lot of the hens on the field are Cuckoo Marans and Javas which are a LOT bigger than him and could easily throw him off their back or put him to a chase. So at the end of the day he would hop on the highest roost in the coop and sulk. </div>

Above is the Araucana hen. See the tuff of feather on their cheeks? These two hens are specially kept in a cage because they were severely attacked by other Rhode Island Reds in the coop. Due to their all white feather, they were easy target for the RIR when they first moved into the coop. </div>

These two hens are both Araucana but one of them has the look of a hawk and the other looks more like the other white Araucana in the picture above. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Araucana are quite capable of flying. They usually occupy the highest "roost-able" spots in the coop top door frame ledge, roof beams...you name it....they will make their way up there somehow. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Beans Beans Beans!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wonderful to add in stir fries the beans are a staple for summer season. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Malabar Spinach</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This veggie may be strange to some but they are a nice crispy addition to salad mix. Their thick and juicy leaves make them really nice for use in soups and stir fries. Malabar Spinach is a good source for vitamin A.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Red Amaranth</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are good alternative to the regular spinach for the summer season. In most areas spinach is not available during summer because they have a tendency to bolt really fast in the summer. Red Amaranth can be cooked similar way to spinach and they really becomes tender when cooked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Water Spinach</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are also good alternative to the regular spinach. They are much crispier than spinach and red amaranth and do not leave any strange after taste in your mouth. Water Spinach is a good start for people who are new to Asian greens and are interested in adding some to their cooking. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Strawberries</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yummy juicy fruits that is the trademark of summer season! These are not available at every market but if you would like us to contact you when we do have some available, give us an email and we would be more than happy to reserve strawberries for you. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Bantam Cochin Rooster</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The feather feet rooster! He may be small but he is packed with a fiery temper. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Silkie Rooster</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the better looking silkies in our flock. He is also smaller in size but he is a mighty protector of his hens. Whenever one of the hens wanders out of the netted area he would go in panic mode and get everyone else into the coop and wait for us to help him get his hen back inside the net. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not the least of the feather feet! He is a <b>Buckeye / Silkie cross</b>. He has inherited the mellow temper of his Buckeye mommy and the dainty appearance of his Silkie daddy. He is one of the best looking birds in this coop. </div>

Molly is not camera shy at all...or rather as it gets dark Molly always knows to hang by the fence and MOO really loud to get her new bale of hay. These photos were taken back in November of 2012 when they just arrived on our farm for 2-3 weeks. Now the calves are double the size of the ones in the photo! </div>

Oregano! Yep, they've officially taken over a good section of my flower bed. I've dug some of them up and repotted about 12 smaller oregano hoping to control the size of this green monster but it was a failed attempt. The original plant grew bigger and stronger after the "resizing". </div>

Howled and whined his way to the ferry terminal. Once we got on the ferry he settled down enough to even get out of his crate to explore the trunk of the car. About half an hour through the ferry ride, he decided sleep is much more important anything else. Doozy dog....<br />

Who will gather up the ducks when it's time for them to return to their coop in the night? After chasing the duckies around the yard for about a week or so, we knew for sure we needed reinforcement. These duckies can be a bit rowdy to gather up and return to coop. If they were not left out long enough...they dodge at every attempt in moving them close to their coop ramp. So, the reinforcement...coming in late December will be....<br />

A sweet male sheltie that will become a member of our family in 2 weeks time. He is very calm when handled but a bit bossy towards his litter mates.
