So the next early vegetable that follows asparagus is rhubarb. There has been fresh rhubarb coming in from the US and BC but I’ve been holding off for the stuff from my parent’s garden just South of Priddis. Their plant is one of those gargantuan ones that just keeps coming back each year and they are bringing in about 40 pounds on Father’s Day. We’ll use it this week in our Rhubarb Upside Down Cake.

Also, this coming Saturday June the 21^st is one of my favourite farm events. Buffalo Horn Ranch is hosting their annual Mother’s Day – a day to go out and see the new Moms and their calves and explore the farm. Peter and Judy’s ranch is 10 minute West of Olds in the rolling foothills near the Little Red Deer River. Reservations are required along with a minimum donation of $5 per person to the Medicine River Wildlife Centre. More information is available here.

This week we have Fairwinds Farm feta in our Greek Chicken Salad. Fairwinds is about an hour and a half South of Calgary, just off Highway 2 and their operation has seen incredible growth over the last few years. They produce chevre, feta, yogurt, and goat’s milk and there is talk of expanding into aged goat cheese too. I’ve been there the last couple springs when the goats are kidding (is that the term?) and there is nothing cuter than these rambunctious babies prancing around.
