Lettuce-zilla

So how did I spend my Memorial Day?  Well, besides some office work, I was visiting with two of my favorite farmers, Jerry and Donna at LaCroix Farms in the gorgeous Killbuck Valley.  They will be supplying lettuce and other greens for the CSA+ throughout the season.

Pulled BBQ Beef Recipe

Yes, it is as awesome as it sounds.  So Sunday, I woke up and was trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I didn't have much in my house.  In fact, my refrigerator had a hunk of gouda, 2 beers (still left over from Christmas), a dozen eggs, and some spoiled half & half.  Oh, and condiments.

So I opened the freezer.  Lots of frozen beef.  So this is what I whipped up.  (Oh, btw, I never measure.  So what I have below are strictly estimates from what I shook in).

OK, so I'm behind the times...

Yes, truthfully this is my first blog entry ever.  Oh, and I'm not using spell check...watch out.

So things are getting pretty exciting around Fresh Fork lately.  If I may be so corny to use food analogies, we've moved beyond the sprouting stage to the actual growing stage.  I'm continually shocked at how many folks have heard about what we are doing.  I have a small speech at the Cuyahoga County Commissioner's office today and  it was uplifting hear a stranger plug Fresh Fork.  Very cool.

New CSA Set-Up

 Well, I know that we have changed things around quite a bit, but we now have a new CSA set-up!  Make sure you check out our "I'm In Cleveland" section to see what we have to offer!

Other than that, things are slowly but surely starting to pick up...  We have been getting some UNBELIEVEABLE greens in from a few of our farms, and I can't wait until the season really hits.  This weather is not only getting depressing, but it is also getting annoying.  I think those are two different things...

Fresh Fork Market's New Season

Well, it's getting to be about that time!  It's warming up and the sun is coming out more (except for having to get ice off of my car the past two mornings) and it's looking more and more like spring is ready to take over from winter! 

I must say that I am quite excited to get things rolling.  The slow winter has made me antsy, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.  Oh well...
