Hello Farm Friends!
Happy Spring. We hope everyone is doing well. Up here in Alaska daylight hours are extending but we continue to be hammered by snowstorms, strong winds and the occasional earthquake. March has been in like a lion…. the lamb so far is a no show! We have had just enough breaks in the weather to continue to harvest oysters every week, and kelp drying season is right around the corner.
We added two new Dried Kelp. products to the Shore Store. Costaria kelp, a brown kelp, one of our favorites, makes the best seaweed salad! The recipe is online with the product information. The second Dried Kelp is Red Ribbon Kelp, or dulse. Dulse packs a powerful punch, the umami flavor is off the charts. It can be used in soups, stews and chowders, bread or pretty much anywhere you would like extra savory flavor.
We are celebrating 15 years of farming in Alaska this year. We wanted to share a couple photos from over the years. One of the most satisfying aspects of our farm has been to watch our children grow up on the farm. We hope our farm leads to a healthier more sustainable future for generations to come.
Please be well and thanks for being part of our journey.
Weatherly, Greg, Rockwell and Vera
