Dear Friends of the Farm,
While we all love toiling in the kitchen, especially on rainy, thunderous days like today, there's no joy like being outside in the garden.
Over the past couple of months, during days of intermittent warmth and sunshine, we've awakened our garden -- gathering leaves, boughs and hay, trimming dead branches, and reshaping sagging beds. Then of course, there has been the planting of seeds.
There is beauty in all that is latent beneath the soil, and it is around this time that we have the pleasure of marveling in all that arises.
On Saturday, June 2nd, we will be offering a class entitled "A Celebration of Spring Greens," where we will discuss the properties of each plant we encounter in our garden, and together feast on our bounty.
We have also planned for a wonderful Moon Supper next Monday that will showcase chive blossom fritters, roast lamb and an exquisite lemon tart among other things.
To register for Saturday's class on Spring Greens or our June 4th Moon Supper, please visit our website at www.saltwaterfarm.com.
Don't forget to visit our blog, where we write about recipes we're currently playing with, friends we've shared our table with and other news.
See you soon,
Irene Yadao

Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.

~A Celebration of Spring Greens~
Saturday, June 2nd, 2012
11am-2pm
There are few things as exciting as the first greens of Spring poking up through last year's fallen branches and dried grasses. In this class, we will tour the Salt Water Farm property and learn how to identify and harvest both wild greens and cultivated ones from our garden and beyond. Greens we may encounter include dandelion greens, coltsfoot, plantain, chives, arugula, and chickweed. Then, we will transform our bounty into a delicious lunch, shared around our farm table. Dishes will include frittata with eggs from our hens, wild green pesto, green salad, a fresh herb vinaigrette, and a bit of sweetness to end the meal.
This class will be taught by Rebecca Sornson, our kitchen and garden coordinator.
