Another full offering. Our beans – all sorts – are now coming on strong, requiring us to pick every other day. The tomatoes continue to steadily ripen…
Next week is our annual fall fair. We are going to be selling produce the morning of the fair from the greenhouses across the street from the fair grounds – kind of an open (green)house as it were. Drop by and see what we’ve been up to and where many of your tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil has been grown.

Hi all,
With those white currants, we made a nice sauce to go on the steamed beans. The first time, I melted a small amount of coconut oil, mashed the currants into it, then made the mistake of adding some lemon juice. Yikes! I hadn’t thought to taste the currants beforehand, and assumed they’d be sweet! So no lemon juice necessary.
The second time we made a sauce with the currants, we cooked them with some maple syrup.
Kinda fun, eh, experimenting with new foods like this? ;-)
