Week of April 17th

Lots of chicken and turkey eggs for sale. You can find our chickens pecking at the hills around the farm, doing a weeding job better than I’ve ever seen any person do. Our hills got covered with weeds and the succulents underneath were starting to die until the meticulous little chicken beaks cleared the way for them. Happy chickens = happy farm.

Beet Burgers
(I was thinking you could wrap these in lettuce instead of collard greens. I had a similar beet burger and it was delicious. I use a real egg instead of flax, but it’s up to your nutritional needs. Make it your own.)

1 medium beet
3 carrots
1/2 bunch of parsley
3 stalks of kale (or any dark green)

3/4 cup of water
