From our niece Abigail, Summer Cole Slaw
You know the shredding and dicing routine. Here’s what she recommends you use: 1 medium cabbage, 4 carrots, 1½ cup lemonaise (or some base of your chosing), salt and pepper to taste, ¼ c extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, Tbsp of sugar or honey, cilantro OR basil, one diced onion. Chop, mix and serve.

Grow wholesome, quality, organic food without pesticides or herbicides;
Care for livestock with humane, ethical and integrated practices;
Enhance soil fertility and maintain water quality;
Make value-added agricultural products such as soap from milk by as natural means possible;
Help family farmers find profit in stewardship and ecological practices;

We work to achieve these goals as a family business, grant project participant and member of collaborative organizations in our region.
