Farm Musings

Musings on this summer's feed bin upgrade project, a barn burning, and surviving in this crazy life.

Don't forget about all the great holiday recipes that use eggs. It's the last chance to get holiday eggs that you can't buy in any grocery!

After years work behind-the-scenes to provide produce delivery for our members, we are excited to share our plans for 2021!

Jack presented to the Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary Club last week about why and how he left his consulting career to start TC Farm with Betsy. Watch the presentation to learn about the history, challenges, and what we can do to improve the food system.

Now that we have our own warehouse, we can finally offer more of the products Betsy and Jack have enjoyed for years. These are our favorite dried fruits and nuts, now available at a less than retail price for our members!

Jack and Betsy have been huge fans of Alemar cheese shortly after Kevin founded the small-batch local artisan creamery in Mankato. Having cheese made from well-raised cows is really hard to come by and it tastes amazing. The Camembert has been our go-to cheese for years, but with the pandemic, we've allowed ourselves a treat to bring it more into our daily route. We're SO excited to share several of their cheeses with you!

Heritage turkeys make all the difference, but here are some tips to a fantastic meal.

We're always on the lookout for great things to offer our members. For November, besides all the great turkey offerings we have, TC Farm is also offering pet treats and ginger!

This was a fun meal to make - the sauce was just fantastic using our fresh baby organic ginger. Really unique and worth the effort.

Josh has been helping with TC Farm for years. But now he's with us each day in the warehouse and on the road, making sure our members get their food each month. Adding Josh to our team has allowed TC Farm to better customize everyone's order and increase our product offering. You'll see some pretty amazing new options from TC Farm thanks to Josh's work!

We love that our TC Farm community helps us reduce waste by returning coolers and egg cartons but we need your help to make that process sustainable. If you return items for reuse, this is a MUST read.

Cooking should be simple and delicious - brownies will make you happy.

Whether you are cooking up a traditional family feast or scaling things back this year, TC Farm has got you covered.

As many of you know, in addition to helping TC Farm, Betsy also runs the University of Minnesota Marching Band. She recently did an interview for Kare11 about all of the extra planning work her team has done over the last six months. We thought you'd enjoy the story.

Who doesn't want a healthy, organic meal ready to go in their freezer? Stock up on your favorite soup and you'll be thanking yourself later!
