Roasts Sale, March Markets, & Tamara's Pot Roast Recipe

I snuck away from the farm again, but this time it was business related. I had the honor of presenting at the MOSES Organic Farming Conference in La Crosse last weekend. It was two days ripe full of wisdom, inspiration and connection.

That said, I'm happy to be home. I plan to warm the kitchen this month with delicious roasts. You should too, as we are having a Sale on Roasts.

Normally I lean on the experts and provide a link to someone else's recipe in the newsletter. But this month you are getting one from my own kitchen. I threw together a pot roast for dinner and Farmer Chris said it was the best I ever made.

So despite not measuring a thing, I did my best to create a recipe for you below. Pot Roast, I know what your thinking - simple - but I get asked each winter market for a recipe. So here it is! 

Thank your for taking the time to read our farm news. We hope March provides you some celebration and the joyful anticipation of spring.
