LOCAL ASPARAGUS!

Local Asparagus has just arrived! Fresh out of the fields of Lyle Well's on the North Fork. We are so excited here on the farm  for the first local crop of the season! It may not look like Spring outside but it sure is so make the best of it.

Recipie Excitement!
A great LOCAL Spring food pairing, consider is:

**A King's Farm Poussin, which will be fresh and ready tomorrow (Fri. 4/29), stuffed with thyme, rosemary and garlic from our green house. I would also rub the skin down with some oil, salt & pepper. Bake at 350F for 45-50 min

**Roast some LOCAL Asparagus and then drizzle with a light dressing of, extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped tarragon (from our greenhouse), lemon, a little salt and pepper, and King's Farm eggs, hard boiled and chopped, to top off the side dish. (proportion to taste)

Then... go to Rist Liquors on Job's Lane in Southampton and get a nice Local wine to excentuate, maybe a white from the Wolfer Estates? (I am going to try their white table wine in the next few days with the recipe from Radish day and some poussin of my own. I will tell you how it fairs)
But there are so many to choose from ask their knowledgeable staff to help you out!

Horray for Local Food!
(vegetable of the day post to be coming soon!)
