Making lots of connections is important in the farming business. Since Damian is an amazing salesperson, he has been calling and meeting with chefs and wholesalers in our community so that we can sell all of our beautiful leafy greens. We were successful in reconnecting with an awesome chef in Chesterfield who purchased our first pac chois of the season. YES! We sold about 15lbs of pac choi! I can't wait for our next sale. The coolest part of this sale was that the chef knows about and was interested in farming. He appreciates and supports local farmers!
We also were given our first gifts of the season, radishes and strawberries, thanks to the Grangers and "Eat here" Andy. I made a delicious shortcakes with strawberries, banana, yogurt, and honey. Then, I made a yummy radish dip and Damian almost ate all of it. If you are one of those people that don't know what to do with radishes, try the following recipe:
* 2-4 cloves garlic, peeled
* 6 radishes, quartered
* 1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
* salt to taste
* 2-3 green onion stalks or a 1 tablespoon of dried chives
Directions: Place garlic in the container of a food processor, and pulse until finely minced. Add radishes, and mince. Add cream cheese and herbs, and mix until well blended. Transfer to a serving dish, and chill until serving.
