SMOKED
HAM HOCKS and BOTTOM ROUND BEEF ROASTS came in from Meadow Run
Farm on Tuesday. Meadow Run also offers several other types
of beef roast, please let us know if you are interested in a particular
cut.
Gilda's Biscotti is sending us some new
flavors of their delightful cookies: VANILLA BEAN, ANISE ALMOND,
and CANDIED ORANGE & ALMOND. The perfect crunchy-sweet addition
to a mid-morning coffee break.
The HABANERO, CAYENNE, and JALAPENO HOT SAUCES
from Wills Valley Farm will spice up the remainder of these
wintry nights - sprinkle over eggs, bean dishes, potato hash, or
anything that needs a little heat.
Small Valley Milling in Halifax, PA is now
offering organically-grown WHOLE SPELT BERRIES. These healthful
whole-grains are nutty and chewy, delicious in cold grain salads,
pilafs, or added to breads or muffins.

Chris Fisher's Bison Herd |
|
One
of the most amazing things I have seen in the last couple of years
is Bison, stampeding, in Lancaster County. Last summer I visited
several member farms of the Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-op. While I
am always happy to see tomato plants, I was blown away once we got
to Chris Fisher's farm and saw his Bison. As a youth, Chris, who
is Amish, started a project raising bison on his family's farm and
now has a nice - and growing - niche for himself. Currently he has
about 50 head that he rotates through his 70 acres. Bison meat is
highly nutritious, with remarkable levels of protein and Vitamin
B12 and low cholesterol, much of this due to its 'pastured' nature.
They are also hearty and naturally healthy, so that being outside
during our relatively mild winter (as compared to the Plains) is
no sweat for them, and Chris says they do very well here.
Bison meat has such a dense, beefy flavor. Though it's a lean meat,
bison really stands up to other strong flavors in a recipe. In fact,
it needs them to balance out its intense "beefy-ness".
Though he makes a 'spicy' style sausage, both the fresh sausage
and ground bison are milder and will complement any recipe.
Bison are such an iconic American mammal, with a sweeping legacy.
It is wonderful to see them grazing in Lancaster County. It is also
great to know that Bison by their very nature, should be raised
on pasture, the way that a lot of us prefer our meat animals raised.
