Lamb Fagioli

There are so many reasons I love our weekly farmers market. The farmers, the fresh produce, the vibrant atmosphere, the connection to the land – it's all wonderful. But honestly, after 16+ years of attending, it's the people that truly make it special. It's our customers, the ones we've gotten to know over the years, who mean the most.

In those 16 years, we've shared in so many of life's milestones. We've celebrated births and marriages, offered comfort during illnesses, and simply shared the everyday joys and struggles that connect us all. We’ve watched kids grow up, go off to college, and then return with their own families, continuing the cycle. These aren't just customers; they're part of our extended farm family.

The market isn't just a place to buy and sell; it's a hub of community. It's where we exchange stories, recipes, and laughter. It’s where we build connections that go beyond a simple transaction. And it's these connections that nourish us just as much as the fresh, local food we offer.

Speaking of recipes, one of the most common questions we get asked is how we like to use our lamb cuts. So, I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes featuring our lamb sausage. And speaking of customer relationships, this was shared with us by one of our customers.

This recipe is yummy and hearty and perfect for this cold weather we’re having! Take special note of the hand written comments from the customer who first made this and decided if was worthy of passing along.

We can personally add it is a recipe worth keeping and making every year! Be sure to include a slice or two of crusty bread and a drizzle of really good olive oil and definitely finish with that parmesan!

Enjoy!
