Recipes from
the Garden

 

We spend all spring tending the soil nursing our seedlings into the ground with the hope of a bounty of vegetables for our plates and freezers, and canning days during mid summer into fall.
We are curating some recipes here that feature the plants we are most often tending at the Anderson Urban Farm. 
Some of the recipes are new, and some harken back to the times when the Clough Valley was first settled.

If you have some of your own favorite recipes please send them to Recipes@andersonurbanfarm.com and we will add them to this page. If you have some pictures of the final dish you created please send those as well. 

Thanks!
