Farm Musings

October 12th is National Farmer's Day. We would like to take a moment to thank all of the farmers who raise the animals for our group.

Growing up in Eden Prairie, the idea of where meat came from was something we were never forced to think about. When we became farmers, we had to contemplate the meaning of our work and decision to be an omnivore: A true dilemma.

We've recently added a few more pickup locations for our monthly deliveries. TC Farm now has over 50 pickup locations across the Twin Cities metro area.

Our pigs enjoying the long summer days.

Betsy and I love having sausages around to cook with as an ingredient. They are our quick go-to meals and we enjoy making up easy variations with the seasonal veggies we have on-hand. Here are some tips and our favorites.

A members' summer/fall favorite. I love this recipe, and had to share!

One of my favorite food authors emailed about a video he put together recently with a world famous French chef because it made him think about TC Farm and our amazing chicken (I sent him samples years ago when we started). After watching, I knew you'd enjoy...

The 2018 Co-op Farm Tour has been scheduled for July 14th. There will be over two dozen farms participating across the Twin Cities metro area (we are two of them!). This is a great chance to see local farms up close and doing their part to make sustainable, local farming with a purpose within reach for everyone.

Updated: Final menu - SO EXCITED... this will be the best dinner of your 2017. Seriously, bring a friend and you'll be their hero. Tullibee in the Hewing Hotel will be showcasing our amazing Forest Hog at a dinner event being held Sunday, July 16th from 6PM-9PM. Tickets are on sale now but limited in number. Reserve yours today.

The most important tool is a sharp knife. A really sharp knife. Fortunately, there is an easy and inexpensive solution.

Members: Please remember to fully close the delivery coolers during the summer -- even egg coolers!

One of our all-time favorite meals.

We're thrilled to be attending the 10th annual Slow Food MN foraged foods dinner: Where the Wild Things Are. We spoke last year and will be speaking again this year. They are a lot of fun with some AMAZING food. We'll be speaking about our farm and philosophy at the event. Hope you can join us - May 21st

We are hosting a Dinner on The Farm event that I am SO excited about... Hope you will join us for an amazing evening and meal. Chef Adam from Saint Dinette and Tattersall Distilling will be cooking up an amazing feast served just a half hour west of the metro. July 30th is the big day.
