    It’s a busy week on the farm! On Saturday, we processed around fifty old laying hens. A few members of our team came out to help, and it was an eye-opening, learning experience for the first timers. We have team members who are experienced with the butchering process, and they were the day’s teachers. Here at Frog Song, chickens play a vital role in our soil health and diet. We feed them organic chicken feed and loads of veggie scraps each day, and in turn their manure fertilizes the soil. They peck away at pests and aerate the ground as they range and scratch. They lay eggs with rich yellow yolks for us to collect each morning. As chickens age into their golden years, starting around three to four years of age, their egg production drops off drastically. As our hens age towards the end of their life cycle, we then harvest them for stew meat. We are so grateful for our chickens and all that they contribute to the farm.

    This weekend marks the second annual Giving Garden charitable dinner at the farm. Under the moon and pole barn lights, a communal dinner will be prepared by the head chef of Afternoon restaurant and served by dedicated volunteers of the garden. We have donated our site, materials, and fresh ingredients in support of their mission to expand access to healthy, fresh food in Gainesville. Guests will get a chance to tour the farm and enjoy the grounds before their meal. A great time was had by all last year, and we are looking forward to welcoming back the Giving Garden crew! Tickets are sold out for Saturday’s dinner. Learn more about their mission and donate here: https://www.gainesvillegivinggarden.org/about

    And there’s more! On Sunday, we’re welcoming Elise Pickett from The Urban Harvest and gardeners from across the state. We’ll be giving a farm tour and discussing our regenerative practices here on the farm. Guests are welcome to bring picnic lunches. Come chat farming and gardening with us! Book your spot here: https://theurbanharvest.com/products/tuh-community-meet-up-farm-tour?date=2023-11-19&select=1700406000

    Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what to prepare! This week’s recipes are Fall inspired side dishes for inspiration.

    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
    • 4 cloves garlic diced
    • 1 inch fresh ginger diced
    • 2 fresh thyme stems
    • 1 habanero chile whole (I used jalapeno)

    • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
    • ½ tablespoon black pepper
    • 1 can coconut milk
    • ¼ cup vegetable stock

    3. Using the tip of a sharp knife, add small slits into the sides of the habanero chili. Add it along with the thyme, stock, and coconut milk. Let simmer 4-5 minutes.
    4. Add spices and mix well. Let simmer for additional minutes (2-3).
    5. Remove the chili. Add the greens and mix well. Cover the skillet and let the greens simmer 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. I like these greens with some crunch, so if you prefer softer let them cook a little longer.

    Golden Relish – Very Vegan Val

    Ingredients

    FRITTERS

    Vibrant Orange & Arugula Salad – Cookie & Kate

    Ingredients

    Salad

    • ¼ cup sliced almonds
    • 5 to 6 ounces baby arugula/spring mix
    • 2 oranges, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
    • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup)

    • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Directions

    2. Place the arugula on a large serving platter or into a large serving bowl. Arrange the oranges, toasted almonds, goat cheese and radishes on top. Sprinkle the top lightly with a pinch or two of cinnamon. Set aside.
    3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and salt. Whisk together until blended. Taste, and add a little more honey if it’s unpleasantly tart.
    4. Once you’re ready to serve, drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad (you might have a little extra), toss, and serve immediately.

    Smoky Sweet Potato Kale Salad with Hot Ginger Dressing – How Sweet Eats

    Ingredients

    • 2 to 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (½ to 1 inch cubes)
    • olive oil spray, or olive oil for drizzling
    • kosher salt and pepper
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
    • 1 to 2 bunches of curly green or tuscan kale, stems removed and torn into pieces (about 6 to 8 cups)
    • ¼ cup roasted pepitas
    • furikake seasoning, optional

    Hot Ginger Dressing

    • 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
    • 1 small shallot, diced (or diced red onion)
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 3 tablespoons red wine or apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
    • ½ cup olive oil

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
    2. Place the sweet potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil (or use olive oil spray). Stir together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and a big pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle it evenly over the sweet potatoes and toss well.
    3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, until fork tender.
    4. While the sweet potatoes roast, make the dressing. Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat and add the sesame oil. Stir in the shallot with a pinch of salt and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the vinegar, honey and soy sauce. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
    5. Place the kale in a bowl. Drizzle on 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressing and using your (clean) hands, massage the kale for a few minutes until all the leaves are coated. Let this sit for 5 to 10 minutes. It helps to break down the toughness of the kale and makes it less bitter.
    6. When the potatoes are done, add them on top of the kale. Drizzle with more of the dressing, then top with pepitas. Sprinkle on furikake seasoning if you’d like. Serve!
