Farm News of the Week
 |
Some of our farmers don’t have time to set up a table and actually meet you face-to-face on Thursdays, so I thought it might be nice to do the next best thing and “introduce” a few of them to you in the newsletter. Amy Rae and her husband Caleb own Solace Farm in Coalmont, TN. Amy has written us a short introduction:
We took 3 steers off to the processor today, so we will be restocked on our start-to-finish grass fed beef in a couple more weeks. These Scottish Highland steers were born on our farm, and were never treated with anything. Highlands are a smaller-framed, slow-growing breed that are well-suited for grass-fed. It takes 3 years to raise them to maturity so they have a slower turnover rate than commercial beef breeds, but it is well worth the wait for their amazing beef! They are a rare breed that marbles even on grass since their thick furry coat means they don’t have to put their fat on the outside for warmth. It frequently wins taste tests, and the Queen of England keeps a small herd for personal use!

Knottynuffacres has added “San Marzano”, an Italian low-acid cooking tomato with thick dry flesh and few seeds, a great tomato for stewing and/or canning sauces and pastes. Deb has also added two types of peppers, jalapeños and Anaheims.
