Dawn Breaks the Sky Open
At this time last week we had been up for almost 5 hours, and the light had already changed dramatically -- it was almost too harsh to shoot. I had made an overnight trip to Eastern Washington with my producer, Sara, to expose her to the amber waves of grain. Rising early, like those who harvest our food and bring us the bounty for which we are blessed, the grousing disappeared and turned into joy as the first hint of light broke over the horizon transforming the sky as only a new day can.

The sun, cracking the door of darkness, spilled its light across the darkened earth, painting a rolling landscape covered in swatches of green, yellow, and amber color.

The sun, cracking the door of darkness, spills its light across the darkened earth, painting a rolling landscape covered in swatches of green, yellow, and amber color.

Our trip was a great success. Not only did we capture people and their passion on “film”, but we also met for the first time a grain called Einkorn, a “new” grain that is a million years old - and a precursor to one of our favorites, Emmer.

Read more about Einkorn, and order now for fall delivery.

Additionally, over the years many of you have asked about Sweet Washington Onions. Well, if the crop is good, Brad the Farmer will sell us some of his just planted sweet onions. Stay tuned to future newsletters, while we figure out how many onions to sell in each order, and its price.

Article Excerpt

“Getting up at 3:45 AM is definitely painful. But when you are visiting a farm, you keep farmers’ hours. And with a 5:11 AM sunrise mid-summer, we planned for an early departure!”

Last week we shared Thomas Keller’s Cured Lemon Recipe, but many of you asked what to do with these luscious lemons once they are ready. Here are two new ideas:

Lemon Risotto

Lemon Caper Sauce for Salmon (or Halibut)

It’s summer Salmon season here in the Pacific Northwest. Right now, the Yakutat Sockeye are running, and they are wonderful. The Lemon Caper Sauce (above) is a tasty option. But what should you do with the leftovers? Try this Ode to Julia:

Salmon Souffle.

Sweet dark Cherries are coming! The Bing Cherries shipped Monday, and the Lapin Cherries are not far behind. We have many sweet recipes for dark sweet cherries, but what about savory recipes? Here is one to try – perfect served with grilled chicken or pork, or atop a slice of excellent Brie.
