Breakfast on the Farm
Dairy mornings start early, but usually by 8:30 the goats are all milked, the milking parlor washdown completed, and the day's cheesemaking is started. Time for a sitdown break, and our communal breakfast shared alike by guests and the farm crew. Our breakfast gathering place is a long keeping table at the south end of the atrium . Here with the changing seasons we enjoy gentle summer light filtered by the high canopy of surrounding oaks, or soak up the low winter sun as it spills in across the keeping table.
Signature ingredients of our breakfast fare
include (naturally) our own chèvre, and the eggs from our free
range yard chickens. Chèvre regularly appears on the table as a
soft fresh Montrachet style cheese, and as a creamy condiment sweetened
with fruit preserves. Whether starring as omlettes or fritattas, or playing
supporting roles with scones and other quickbreads, the eggs from our
free range chickens impart an intensity of flavor and color that eclipse
their store-bought cousins. (No wonder people come to the farm market
at 7:00 AM on Saturday just to buy eggs) Fresh-ground organic spelt flour
from nearby Lindley's Mill goes into Fleming's Market Scones. The supporting
cast of fresh-roasted coffee from Counter Culture - who flatter us with
our own coffee blend, too many types of tea, and seasonal fruits and preserves
from our neighbors' gardens overflow the table.
