Road Closure:
The drive into Rocky Creek from Frontage Road will be closed Monday through Thursday for three weeks starting this week. Coming from Bozeman on Frontage Road about a mile before you would reach the Rocky Creek driveway, you will take a left onto Fort Ellis Road and then an immediate right onto Kelly Canyon Road. Stay on Kelly Canyon for about a mile before taking a right at our neighbor’s drive. There is an orange sign at the turn assuring you that you are almost there. Continue straight ahead on the narrow dirt drive until you see our barn on your left. Thank you for your patience as we await a smoother drive into the farm!
Updates on the farm:
With the summer solstice now behind us, harvest days have been all hands on deck. In between we are weeding the strawberries so that they’ll be ready for harvesting at the beginning of July. We’ll post on our website when you-pick begins. On the animal front, Jordan is building another chicken tractor for our maturing egg layers while the two new kittens have started adventuring into the barn - making for great company yesterday as we made bouquets. Adam and the camp crew are preparing for the kiddos that will join us next week! We look forward to having their curious energy percolating the farm.
For all of those sharper spring vegetables, like the asian greens, radishes, turnips, and green garlic, we have some recipes to share. Here’s a delicious Almond Sesame Soba salad from my favorite cooking blog: https://cookieandkate.com/almond-sesame-soba-zoodles-recipe/ Use your creative liberties to use your green garlic, and add your cilantro to the mix! With those larger Asian Greens, you can always sauté them with garlic and olive oil (add some miso butter to make it finger-licking good) or you can replace the spinach in this springy green curry! We love to hear what you think is finger-licking good, so send your recipes our way!
Thank you for reading and enjoy!
