Farm Happenings at Urban Agrarian
Shelled peas and sliced melons
Purple-hulled peas are a close cousin of black-eyed peas, and we've got plenty of them this week from Livesay Orchards in Porter. We also have sliced watermelon and cantaloupe this week, also from Livesay.
In days of old you would have had to shell your own peas and slice your own melons, but not t1 read more »
Burgers and buns: Your Labor Day grocery box
Chuck burgers are back in stock! And most of our sausages, too. You'll find some Labor Day-ready goodies in your grocery box this week, including more peaches and watermelons.
This is a time of year when the harvest stays the same for a few weeks - nothing new to get excited about until the f1 read more »
New from our kitchen: Beef pot pie
Our kitchen has a couple new creations, and one of them - beef pot pie - is available for your grocery box this week. If you like our beef stew and you like our pot pies, you will surely like this easy, frozen casserole. It features BF Farms grass-finished beef, butchered in house.

Grapes are coming!
Grapes are a regional product we get from just across the border in Arkansas at Ranalli Farms. We didn't get any last year because the crop was damaged in the freeze, but we have Mars grapes arriving later this week, and some of them will be available for your grocery box. Mars grapes are a great "1 read more »
Oklahoma peaches!
At last, some Oklahoma peaches! Apparently the late-season peaches partially escaped the hail storm that took out the rest of the crop at Livesay Orchards. Some of them have skin blemishes, but they are considered "#1" quality. Look for them in your box this week!
Thank you so much for being a memb1 read more »
Peppers, eggplant, peaches, melons!
Peppers are finally here! And melons, too. It's pretty hard to manage the delivery of large watermelons, so we're hoping some smaller "Ana" variety melons will be available for boxes soon. In the meantime, you'll see cut cantaloupe cups in the boxes this week.

Peaches, at last!
As many of you know, the peach crop at Livesay Orchards in Porter was hit hard by hail this year, so the peaches we've been buying from them have actually been coming from other orchards they are connected with out-of-state. That has resulted in a lot of uncertainty, and we haven't been able to mak1 read more »
Too hot to cook - grab some deli food
We're featuring a few of our house-made deli salads this week so you can turn off your oven and have an easy meal - easy food that's not fast food.
Also, there are a limited number of peaches available - add them to your order while they last! By next week we should have melons.

Okra and eggplant!
We're getting into the HOT season crops now, like okra, which is drought-tolerant and actually likes the heat. We also have eggplant this week from Fisher Family Farms in Slick, Oklahoma. Peppers should arrive soon, but not this week.
But plants aside, this extreme heat is testing the limits of far1 read more »
