Winter Eating

You would think that living on the farm would mean delicious, nutritious food all the time. Not so, sadly, at least for these winter months. Our hoop house, which was supposed to provide greens during the winter, bit the dust in a storm this past fall. Only the carrots and some baby spinach survived. Since we have 1,500,000 carrots in our root cellar already, we would have happily them in for some of the endive or broccoli rabe that we planted.

Theo and I are house sitting for two weeks and are taking advantage of an excuse to eat off the farm. So, I bring you the mesclun/ sprouts/ smoked salmon/ mango/ avocado/ grapefruit/ goat cheese salad of champions. Every nutritional component not delivered through turnips, parsnips, potatoes or carrots. Delicious!
