Farm Happenings at Urban Agrarian
PB&J, but make it local
Kayterra Farms took more than 100 pounds of frozen blueberries off our hands a while back and returned with dozens of jars of blueberry jam. They've been a great partner when it comes to reducing our food waste - in this case the berries came from Thunderbird Berry Farm in Broken Arrow (and they're1 read more »
Granny Smith apples - it's baking time
The harvest at Livesay Orchards has been smaller all year thanks to the bad freezes last winter and spring, but they have been sending us new apple varieties every few weeks. Granny Smiths are the most recent variety to come ripe - these tart, green beauties are known as one of the best baking appl1 read more »
It’s birthday week! Come party with us.
Three years ago today we were furiously stocking our Edmond store. Ten years ago we were putting the finishing touches on our OKC store and food hub. BOTH of our stores opened to the public for the first time on October 22, seven years apart!
Our mission has always been to help local farms expand t1 read more »
We're over the hump - fall crops are coming in!
There's always an awkward period between growing seasons when produce runs a little slim, and we've been in that awkward place for the past few weeks. But this week the arrival of more leafy greens plus some root veggies, like turnips and radishes, has us ready to declare the shoulder season over.1 read more »
A little more summer: squash, green beans, watermelon
Summer has just a little bit left to give, it seems. This will likely be the last harvest of watermelons from Livesay Orchards, and we have at least one one more harvest of yellow squash coming from Better Together Farm, along with green beans. We also have a few local sweet potatoes from Happy Hen1 read more »
Pears and a pasta sale
Our friend Chris at Della Terra pasta is celebrating 10 years in business this month. And as a matter of fact, he launched his business right here in our own kitchen before we took over the space, so we're extra excited to help him celebrate. All pasta is $1-off this week. New items this week in th1 read more »
Tomatoes are back! + New cheese + Grapes
We thought they were done ... then more tomatoes emerged! We are getting tomatoes from two new-to-us farms this week, including Watermark Farms in Arcadia. We also have a new batch of a regionally made farmstead cheese from Grison Dairy and Creamery in Missouri. And speaking of regional finds, we g1 read more »
Ground beef is 25% off! + Peas are back
Hamburger meat is always a problem fro nose-to-tail butchers. There's just a lot more to a cow than ribeye and roasts. We buy whole cows from BF Farms about every-other week, and our butcher, Julia, cuts and packages them in house. This is some of the best, freshest beef you could buy. But we alway1 read more »
It's time to think about produce preservation.
It's true - summer crops are winding down. That means it's time to save them! This week we have some great picklers: cucumbers, beets, okra, peppers and red onions. And some great fruits for canning or freezing: peaches and apples. Double up on your favorites and get a project going in your kitchen1 read more »
