Farm News

This week a tribute to autumn, courtesy of William Blake:

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain’d
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof; there thou may’st rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
And all the daughters of the year shall dance!

Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.

Recipes

Kale, mustards and chard all go great in a winter greens gratin.
