need summer now



Ok I know, it just snowed but I can not stop thinking about the summer ahead of us and summers past. I am a warm weather junkie and can never get enough of heat, humidity & bugs, bring it all on, except poison ivy! To help me through my pangs of withdrawal and longing I am going to focus on what is coming and making plans to get the most out of those beloved months.

I have some very exciting news! I will be providing my delivery services by teaming up with.....

 
 
I'm sure you all remember the amazing organic tomatoes I was serving up on the bacon, provolone tomato melts, well this is where they were grown and Miss Gail is coming at us with full force this season. She is offering 50 CSA's memberships and believe me they are going to go fast. It begins May 11th and continues till September 28th. You will be able to pick up your share at Cowbell Kitchen at, our happy place, Lucketts on Fridays. Below is the link to read about the farm, her passion and information regarding CSA's.  Check out all the beautiful organic produce she will be offering. Let's support Rainbow Hill Farm!!!!! 
Think about maybe splitting the cost with a friend or neighbor. We all need to make it happen!!!!
 
 
 
 
p.s. I am officially signed up to get my canning certification! The 2 day class is at the end of February. After that I will be working exclusively with Rainbow Hill canning, pickling, jamming products that will be sold at Cowbell Kitchen and farmers markets. Yes I am excited! This means I will be a legit pickle person!!! Imagine fresh organic veggies/fruit preserved for your taste buds in the depths of winter. All organic preserved with love & care, a dream come true.


XXOO,
