Harvest and Market

It was an outstanding Colorado day to harvest last Friday. InI give thanks for the crops that have come in so far. There is a lot of excitement on the farm, and in the community as well. Check out the new RAS North listing on Local Harvest.org....... http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M30719?ul

When at the Boulder Market, be sure to go up towards the north end and check the I-Culture stand for the ital frozen lumpia 12-packs. Lumpia are Phillipino style spring rolls. If you're lucky, Ty will be sampling....... The lumpia are easy to prepare at home, AND way easy to grub down as well. I-Culture are making positive moves, and proving that with hard work and livication, a level of self-sufficiency is attainable in these times. The I's are using BONAFIDE local ingredients as well. Last week's batch had Abbondanza cabbage, and RAS Farms chard and garlic. Big up to Ty and Christine!!
