Celebrate the sweet and savory seasonal harvest this week with “shortcake two ways”.  The home team, led by “Li’l teapot” Lisa Gottlieb is baking up some light and fluffy biscuits that you can have either:
·        With a big scoop of the sweetest imaginable strawberries and a dollop of Calder Dairy whipping cream
·        Benedict-style with a slice of braised pork, poached egg, grilled asparagus a slice of pancetta and hollandaise sauce
Both, of course, with bacon if you like, and a little this and that.
Don’t forget our “fruit seasonal” (sometimes freeze-onal) regular breakfast choices: Waffles with gingered apples or more strawberries and Lisa’s bread pudding (also strawberry this week, and sweetened with honey until Michigan figures out how to grow some non-GMO sugar!)
Some News:
Our current round of hoop builds from breakfast proceeds wraps up with: June 5th – We are crossing our fingers for less mud (check out this little mud-fest for example) for Beverly Ruesink of Needlelane Farm. We will be building a 30×96 gothic also with steel/polycarb end walls (similar to the one we put up over at Tessmer Farm).  Beverly has a big camp site, so a Saturday night celebration party and optional camping are planned.  Please go here to sign up for the 5th. We could really use a few more hands to wrap up the spring season here folk!
Hard work, lots of learning, tons of fun and a feast.  We have had a huge response for volunteers here already.  Thank you!

 
And if you haven’t read the Repasts blog for a bit, you are in for a treat.  Lisa has been doing a knock-out job documenting the exploits of this amazing community as it builds a new local food infrastructure.

Thanks,  Jeff
