Now That Stampede is Over…
We can get on with the rest of our summer! We are in a bit of a holding pattern waiting for the season to catch up this year. Normally we would be deep into greens, peas, and cherries from the Okanagan but generally speaking everything is 2 to 3 weeks behind. As things come in you will start to see them on our menus and in the shop. We have started using Leaf and Lyre produce again and Lund’s Organic farm should be at the market this week.
This year we are going to be producing several unique preserves, jams, and jellies. All small batch, unique creations, hand numbered, and in limited supply. This week in Forage you’ll find our Rhubarb Chutney. It’s made with rhubarb from Wade’s parent’s garden and spices from Silk Road Spice Merchants. It’s tangy and flavourful and we think it would be great on chicken and pork. Look for other new items over the summer.
Also, a reminder that Forage will be closed the first 2 weeks of August for our summer break. Over the years we found that it’s just easier for everyone to take their vacations at the same time and all come back refreshed and ready. We’ll be back August 14th and look for Forage’s Fourth Birthday Party in late August.
