What’s In the box?

Notes on the box.

Cosmic wheel creamery cheese shares.

Garlic Dill Quark in a slightly larger container than usual since it’s hot out and we are eating this for dinner all the time. Just spread some on bread and put some cucumbers on there or use it as a dip for carrots of fresh green beans. Very yummy and delicious and simple.

Aquilla is a raw milk aged jack style cheese. It’s good on nachos or grilled cheese or for snacking. I call is the potatochip cheese because I have trouble stopping eating it once I get started. Hope you enjoy!

Next week we will likely have Lyra, which is creamy with a wine washed rind made this Spring and ricotta or feta.

On the farm.

What a week! It took several days, but the garlic is all harvested and in the barn drying! It was an all hands on deck job becasue we are growing for a seed company this year. Rama got to get a day outside of the cheese room and got her hands back in the dirt. Along with our trusty farm crew, we were also helped out by our friend Loyal and beekeeper Kristy. The garlic is so beautiful! After it dries down for about a month we will begin the job of trimming off the roots, getting it cleaned up and the leaves trimmed off. Still lots to do, but getting it out of the ground feels like one of the big pushes is complete.

Over the weekend we got hit with some hail. It came suddenly and was mostly marble sized. It drove holes through some of the more tender leaves, It battered the zucchini. I was really worried about the tomatoes and peppers in the field, but both have a lot of foliage that seemed to do a good job of protecting the fruit on those plants, so hopefully they will be just fine when it’s time to start harvesting them. It seems like most everything is bouncing back without much issue which we are super grateful for!

This Sunday is our Sunday Sundaes Ice Cream Social from 1-4. We hope you can make it out! If you are planning on coming out this Sunday, give us a heads-up so we have an idea of how many people might be coming. We have an ice cream social the last Sunday of each month, so if you can’t make this one, be sure to mark your calendars for August 27.

We hope everyone is staying hydrated and finding ways to stay cool! Tomatoes and sweetcorn and peppers are just around the corner!
