Bread is Back!

It’s been too long since we’ve made bread for Forage so we are starting to bake it again. Each week we will make a different batch from our list of favourites like sourdough, apple cider rye, canola seed and onion. The bread will be baked fresh on Wednesdays and available for the rest of the week until it is gone. We purchased pans that are about two thirds the regular size so the loaves should be a little more manageable. This week we are making Forage Sourdough loaves.

Next Farm Table Dinner

Our next Farm Table Dinner features Hoven Farms Organic Beef and Tim Hoven will be joining us. Tim is one of the key organizers of the new Kingsland Farmers Market so you’ll get a chance to hear about their plans to have a Farmers Market run by farmers. The dinners are served family style at one long table and the price includes dinner, dessert, coffee or tea, and gratuity. This one is going to sell out so call Forage to book your spot.

On the Menu

We still have Maple BBQ Chicken wings and we’ll keep cooking them as we need more. They are $5 for approx. 20 wings (2 lbs.) and if you are looking for a large amount just give us a call so we can have them ready for you. Our Asian Meatloaf on Tuesday is a pork meatloaf with a hoisin glaze and we’re serving it with a sesame ginger slaw. Wednesday is our Macaroni and Cheese and we’ve got Mom’s Chocolate Cake and Pesto Potato Salad all week.

We got a great deal on chicken wings from Sunworks Farm so we’ve made up a fresh batch of our Maple BBQ Chicken Wings. We will have them for a special price of $5 for 2 pounds. Just warm them up in the oven and kick back and watch the snow fall!

Forage Tomato Sauce and Salsa Are Back

With the green houses back into full production we were able to get tomatoes and peppers from Gull Valley Green Houses and make a batch of our Tomato Sauce and our Salsa and we’ll have steady supply for the rest of the year.

On the Menu

Look for some things we’ve not done before on the menu this week. On Tuesday we are making Lamb burgers made with Cakadu Heritage lamb, mint, and parsley and served with Greek Salad, tzatsiki, and fresh pita from Village Pita. On the sweet side of things we are offering a cake we’ve been doing for years on the catering side of things. It’s a Flourless Chocolate cake that we make with Bernard Callebaut bittersweet chocolate, organic eggs, sugar, butter, and coffee. It is rich and divine and gluten free if you are so inclined. We are also making Eggplant Parmigiana on Wednesday and if you haven’t tried Gull Valley Green Houses eggplant then you have to give them a try. Unlike the eggplants at the supermarket that have travelled thousands of miles, these are from up the highway and when cooked are creamy and tasty with no hint of bitterness.
