This summer I had the opportunity to participate as one of the food producers in the "Local Fare Share" option of LIFE Farms' Summer CSA (short for Community Supported Agriculture). CSAs are a subscription program to several weeks' (or months') worth of seasonal fresh produce and other local food products. It's a wonderful way for communities to connect with and support their local farmers and small-scale food producers.

Never content to just crank out the "same old thing" - I come from a family of competitive over-achievers - I worked up two new muffin recipes for my share week, especially for the LIFE CSA members: cherry-almond and blueberry-chocolate-lavender (also available without the chocolate, though the one I use is allergen-free!). These came out so well I am adding them to my regular offerings, and am working on some new flavors as well, including apple, pumpkin, lemon-cranberry, and something (as yet undefined) with macadamias.
This fall, our commercial kitchen should be ready, and I am excited to get in there and start baking up a storm. I'll be sure to post more information here, including a product/price list, when the time comes. There will also be some sampling events on the horizon, so stay tuned! Subscribe to this blog (using the buttons on the right) and you'll get all the updates!
Till then -- Eat well, be happy!
