Does Fall Keep You Busy with Food Preparation?
Us too. Not only is the farm bustling, but our homes are too.
Fall is always a flurry of activity in my home. We have traditions sprinkled throughout the month of October and between adventures and crunchy leaf stomping, there is plenty of food to can, preserve, dehydrate and bake before the season’s bounty ends.
At the farm, we have all the classic staples of the fall harvest and they are perfect for the preserving season.
The real star here is our Azure Husbandry Apples. From Gala to Honey Crisp, we have freshly picked apples from the orchards here at Azure Farms available to bring into your community.
