Bourbon Red Heritage Turkeys from Garden of Eve Organic Farm

I’ve just finished ordering my Bourbon Red turkey from Garden of Eve Organic Farm for this year’s Thanksgiving dinner. As you can read on their website, they are raising 200 of this heritage breed. They are slow growing, taking up to 6 months to mature, rather than the 3 months or less needed to raise standard turkeys.

Long Island Bounty: October 20 Edition

The beets, carrots, Japanese eggplant and heirloom tomatoes are from Sang Lee Farms. The cheese pumpkin (I actually bought two) are from Harbes Family Farm.

So far, I’ve roasted both pumpkins…one for Jackson and one for his parents, and we’ve eaten most of the tomatoes.

Next year we’ll be back in one. Especially with Jackson eating more and more things every day. We’ll want him to have the…

Eat Local: Garden of Eve Eggs

I love eggs. In fact, they are among my favorite foods and I eat them several times a week for breakfast. But first time a local egg really caught my attention as something special was at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, where a slow-cooked, soft boiled egg from right outside the restaurant topped a salad and was easily the star. Since then, I’ve tried buying eggs from a couple farm stands out east, but they weren’t that much better than "sweat shop eggs" (Random Seinfeld reference). But, last weekend we stopped at Garden of Eve organic farm on the North…
