Six Arrows Farm Update August 26

Hello Everyone!

Harvest again! This time of year is so exciting and fruitful. It’s still green of course, but it often smells and feels like autumn.

The tomatoes look like a seven foot hedge! Getting tomatoes out of there is like picking through a jungle. They are beautiful plants, producing oodles of red ripe tomatoes.

Today is Friday! To make the long day of baking go faster, we listen to classical music and invent new bread recipes. Making new breads has become a hobby for Aubrey and I. Many market folks ask for different kinds of bread, Daddy will suggest something, or we cook something up. Daddy’s idea was a cheese rosemary garlic bread. We make that in oblong loaves with Parmesan cheese and oregano on top, almost like bread sticks. People at market asked for bread without honey or eggs. We developed a French bread…and Mama loves the bread from Macaroni Grill, so Aubrey is working on a whole wheat Rosemary French Bread. The rosemary French we’re bringing to market is already becoming a favorite, so good dipped in olive oil! Rye bread will be our next experiment.

Aubrey is also working on a good recipe for granola bars, and I am working on granola. We need something else for breakfast when we don’t get eggs and biscuits with gravy or panakoeken. Yea, we are really spoiled.

I feel like a chef when walking through Aubrey’s herb garden these days! It is flourishing and so picturesque, but it is also producing fun things! I just made a salad on Tuesday night with six different kinds of basil that she is growing…Thai, Cinnamon, Spicy, miniature spicy, Lemon, and Genovese basil. The salad was so good…exotic tasting.

Last Sunday Sam was baptized and The Lenz Trio played his favorite hymn!







We hope everyone is loving the last few days of summer…
