Coyle Farm From 3,000 miles away

The summer of 2012-2013 ended. The fall and winter left you cold and wanting summer again. You found yourself wanting something fresh and tasty to get you back up and energized. You couldn't quite put your finger on what it actually wanted but don't worry, I've figured it out for you....

COYLE FARM IS BACK!

Well..we never actually went anywhere but the veggies are back! The Coyle Farm team is very excited for Season 2 with everyone. Our first season was a step in the right direction for us and has helped us grow for the upcoming season.

We got off to a slow start due to inconsistent weather, Sharknado and everyone's favorite Coyle Farmer moving to California. But have no fear! The ball is rolling and the veggies are growing and we can not wait to bring the farm freshness to your tables!

Make sure to check in to the blog for updates as well as our Twitter @CoyleFarm1876. Also be on the look out for some new Coyle Farm social media accounts as well!

Hope everyone is excited for Coyle Farm cause we are!

Your favorite farmer from the West Coast,

Cackling Creations!

After the pickings and packaging of everyone's basket were done, there were some extra cucumbers so I decided to make some pickles. I used a caraway pickles recipe, which can be found on the recipe page under the July 29, 2012 heading. Here are some pictures of the process!

Make sure that you refrigerate them for 3 days! And yes they taste
better when stored with beer, eggs and yogurt! ha ha ha

Very simple to make and they taste great! Give them a try!

Regards,

Cackling Willy

Storing Your Beets

If you want to keep your beets in top fresh condition, cut the greens from the beets before sticking them in the fridge.

If left attached the greens will actually zap the moisture out of the beets and cause them to shrivel up. Go ahead and cut the stems and greens about an inch from the beet bulb itself, wash them and wrap them in a damp paper towel or in plastic wrap. They will last for a few days and you can use them however you like.

You can put your beets in a plastic bag all together and they will last up to 2 weeks.
