Easter is only 3 WEEKS away!!
What is your favorite recipe for Easter? What kind of activities do you like to do with the kiddos at Easter?
Many people like to make hard boiled eggs, Deviled eggs, and colored eggs. Now, one thing many people using farm raised eggs for these activities know, farm raised eggs are far fresher than store bought. This often means that when you hard boil fresh eggs, the white of the eggs tends to stick to the shells, making it harder to peel them. The way to make it easier… Buy your eggs NOW and let them sit in your fridge until ready to hard boil them. As the eggs sit they develop a larger air sac within the shell which helps to release the egg from the shell. What many people do not realize is that the eggs that you buy in the store are already 3-4 weeks old.
And a hint from Kerri Stoltz of Heritage Hills Farm: “If you steam NEW eggs in a veggie steamer you can peel them perfectly EVERY TIME!!!!! BOIL 1 inch of water, THEN ADD your VEGGIE STEAMER with 1 Layer of eggs, set time 13 – 15 minutes…..remove immediately and place in cold water until cool enough to handle and peel.”
New Herb Plants and Avacado ‘Trees’ For Sale
We have started many new herb plants for the spring. We have seeded numerous seedlings in each 4" pot. They will be perfect for planting outside once all danger of frost has passed, or left in a pot on your window sill. Currently we have sweet basil and parsley. Coming soon… Cilantro, Dill and Sweet Marjoram.
We have also started several Avacado plants, from their pits, in 4" pots. While they are not cold hardy in our region, they can be grown in LARGE pots. They may take 8-20 years to bear fruit when grown in a heated greenhouse or atrium. They have attractive foliage and can be seen as a true challenge for the grower wanting an adventure.
