BORDER FARM
POPSICLE SEASON & MORE …
Popsicles and summer, we love them both! Doing just blended fruit or fruit juice is good but also leaves us with the feeling of a bit empty, so we always add our raw KEFIR. Cold, fruity, nourishing, protein, pre/probiotics, and filling. More than just a fruit sugar high, a solid snack in-between work!
We are doing raw KEFIR-everything right now as long as it is cold, cold, and colder!
SMOOTHIES – yes please, with whatever you want to blend for the morning – fruit, matcha, carob, honey, any supplements you take. A great way to start the day. I’ve been enjoying our raspberries from last season.
BUBBLY – and another yes! My friend drinks our KEFIR with sparkling water and lime, I tried it and it is so good, also so good with orange or grapefruit plus lots of ice. Refreshing and filling, and I love bubble anything to drink!
POPSICLES – yes yes please! KEFIR, fruit, honey, blend, pour into molds, freeze, consume on hot days, YUM! The best creamsicles you will ever have, and probably the most nourishing! This week we are doing –
- kefir/peach/maple syrup
- kefir/matcha/honey
- kefir/maple syrup (this one tastes like root-beer and is so weirdly refreshing!)
- kefir/mixed berries
- kefir/mango/honey (I might add a squirt of lime to this one)
- kefir/lime/orange/honey
CANINE POPSICLES – woof! Don’t leave your dog out! (just freeze without the stick!) Cooling, nutritious, and for teething puppies there is COLD relief!
- KEFIR and bone broth is a winner every time!
- For the good eaters – KEFIR, bone broth and one sardine
- KEFIR, banana, spirulina, bone broth
- KEFIR and two egg yolks
- KEFIR, watermelon (such great potassium on a hot day)
TUESDAY NIGHT FARM MARKET – 5pm – 8pm. Arrive early around 4:30 for a good parking spot, and to avoid the big crowds. We will have our QUESO FRESCO, QUESO BLANCO available at the market, a wonderful everyday cheese to crumble over salads, tacos, over tomatoes. Fresh, crisp, clean milk flavor! Just ask Piper! Support Local, Support your Producers, Farmers, Ranchers!
FETA
I love the fresh-feta that I have been making, perfect with everything summer. The additional step of marinating in oil and black pepper corns for sure gives it a little something extra.
This (4lbs of cheese) is my longer cultured/fermented feta that has been hanging for a few days, and is now ready to be cut into slabs, salt, let sit at room temperature for a week or so, while turning daily, and then age in a whey/salt brine.
In a month or two this bad boy will be ready to highlight some of our meals. So super excited about this one!
