Some of the ongoing events planned for this year's CSA Day include Animal Shearing, Walking tours, Potluck Lunch, Farmers' Homemade Soup Tastings, Haystack Games, Poi Dancing, Soap Making Demonstration and more! Our farm shop will be open and stocked with some wonderful items- pumpkins, produce, flowers, books, and unusual items perfect for holiday gift giving!
Potluck Lunch
We ask that you bring a dish to share with 3-4 people. Don't forget to bring serving utensils, and put your name on the dish if you would like it washed and returned to you. (We request homemade dishes, but if you do buy something to bring, please use discretion and leave the Dunkin Donuts home!)
Call for Volunteers!
We are looking for a few good men and women to help us out on CSA Day by organizing the potluck tables, directing parking, and checking people in. If you'd be willing to help out for a two-hour shift, please let us know! The volunteer shifts would run 11-1 and 1-3. Please e-mail us at info@goldenearthworm.com if you're interested. THANK YOU!
RECIPES from the farm & from our friends
SESAME BOK CHOI
1 cup of chicken broth
3 tablespoon of unsalted butter
3/4 lb of baby bok choi
1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
Bring broth and butter to a simmer in a deep heavy skillet. Arrange bok choi evenly in skillet and simmer, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer bok choi with tongs to a serving dish and keep warm, covered. Boil broth mixture until reduced to about 1/4 cup, then stir in sesame oil and pepper to taste. Pour mixture over bok choi.
STIR-FRIED TOFU with BOK CHOI
by Deborah Madison
2 small bunches bok choi, washed
1 carton soft or firm tofu, drained
1 C vegetable stock, chicken stock or water
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. oyster sauce (if vegetarian, omit or substitute Lan Chi Chilli Paste)
1 tbsp. roasted peanut oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cornstarch mixed w/1tbsp. water
Cut bok choi leaves into 3-inch pieces, the stems into 2-inch pieces. Cut tofu (gently!) into 1"-ish cubes. Mix together stock, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Heat a wide nonstick skillet, add the oil and when hot, add garlic and bok choi. Sprinkle with salt and stir-fry over high heat for about 2 minutes, until greens are wilted. Add stock, reduce heat to low, add tofu. Cover and simmer until tofu is heated through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add diluted cornstarch and gently stir into the juices without breaking tofu. Serve over rice.
