Aren’t these beautiful! And yummy too.

They are an heirloom variety of “Fish Peppers”. I bet you guessed that these little beauties are best known as a delicious flavoring for fish. But once you try them, you’ll find yourself using them to add a spicy kick to all kinds of dishes, not just fish. Be cautioned, a little bit goes a long way!

They are fresh right now but be sure to get extra for later. They can be strung up and dried for future use. We’ve even used them as Christmas or party decorations.

Nothing says August like fresh crisp tomatoes. Slice them up with some fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil. Make a BLT. Skip the ketchup and pile tomato slices onto local grass-fed beef burgers at your next backyard barbecue.

Delicious Cane Creek Farm tomatoes! Available now. You know you want some. Stop by the Farm Store or visit us at the Farmer’s Market.

We hope all are enjoying their summer! There’s not too much to update around here- it’s hot, we’re busy, yada yada.

But we are having a big party at the farm on September 19. It will be an “Arabian Nights” themed evening, catered by Lucky 32 Chef Jay Pierce. We will have tickets available at farmer’s markets.

A few reminders:

The store is open Thursdays 2-6 and Saturdays 10-4. If you haven’t made it out yet this summer to the farm, you better get on it.

Also- please let us know of any requests for farmer’s markets. As you might imagine, it’s difficult to guess what parts of a cow someone will want each week. We wind up bringing a lot of product each week, only to return to the farm with most of it. So if you know what you’ll want, send an email.

Our tomato deals this week: 5lb of tomatoes for $10. 15lb for $27.

Thanks and hope to see everyone at the Farmer’s Market
