Recipes

Roger’s Black Bean Dip

A hearty, filling, and addictive bean dip acquired during one of my parents diving vacations. From Cook’in Little Cayman

Serves: I’d like to say 4-6 people….but I could probably eat it all myself!

30 oz cooked black beans (~1 1/2 c dried beans)
1 cup medium/hot salsa
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbs minced garlic
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 tsp fajita seasoning

1. Cook your Grumpy Goat black beans. I use the instant pot on high pressure for 20 minutes. If you don’t have one soak your beans overnight and then boil for about 1.5 hours or until soft.
2. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
3. Serve with tortilla chips and a margarita

You can’t go wrong with black beans! It’s not pretty but it is delicious.

Market News



So we will be having a market pick up in Sidney in front of Vin & Joy on Saturday, however there will not be any pick ups next week (sorry no Tuesday pick up). We’ve been slammed with bread orders the past few weeks so have decided to align our week off with the Miami County Locally Grown Vacation in which we also participate.
We appologize for any inconvenience.

Besides baking life continues to be busy on the farm. Matt has been continually starting seeds some of which will soon be put in the ground. The kale, chard, brocolli, cilantro, cauliflower, dill, chinese cabage, and pac choi are all nicely sized and the tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and okra aren’t far behind. We have also been spending amply time with our 13 goat kids. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. We are trying to make sure they are nice and friendly for their new homes come June.





We have also seeded the clover (can never have too much hay) and will reseed some of the hay field this week. This 70 degree weather makes us feel like we are behind on our planting…but then we remember it is just April. We hope that you are all enjoying some ‘down’ time and are staying happy and healthy.

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
