Red Russian Kale and Red Onion Savory Breakfast Squares Recipe

1 bunch Red Russian Kale, chopped, or use any other variety of kale
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (1/2 tsp. teaspoon minced garlic)
1/2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. Tamari or other soy sauce
1 C grated cheese (I used mozarella, colby and white cheddar from the Wiebe Dairy)
1/4 cup 100% whole wheat bread crumbs (optional; I've made this successfully without the bread crumbs)
6 eggs, beaten well

6 strips of bacon, crumbled (optional)


Preheat oven to 350F. Cut off kale stems and discard, then wash kale leaves and dry well. (I used a salad spinner.) Pile kale leaves up on top of each other and cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide, then turn cutting board the other way and cut again so you have squares just under an inch square. Chop onion into pieces about 1/2 inch.

Heat olive oil in large heavy frying pan, then add onions and saute 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute about 2 more minutes, then add kale, turning over as it wilts and sauteeing about 5 minutes, or until kale is significantly wilted and softened.

Put sauteed vegetables into large bowl and add Tamari, cheese, bread crumbs, beaten eggs. Stir gently until ingredients are well distributed. Spray a 13 by 9 pan with olive oil or nonstick spray and pour in egg mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes until eggs are well set and the top is lightly browned. Serve hot. This is good with low-fat sour cream or salsa.

Consistancy and Winter Farmers Markets

We are in the second year of year around growing. In addition to our online market, this year we added a monthly Winter Market in Manhattan. What I try to do is to offer a variety of products consistently over a long period of time. So, if you look at the next three pictures, you will see what I mean.

Of course without customer support, I would be just a guy with a lot of veggies! Thank you to everyone for your support!

January Farmers Market in Manhattan

On January 7th we had our second winter market of the season. It was another great success, in my opinion.  It was so nice to see so many people out supporting the local farmers.

I really look forward to our February and March Markets too!

Here is what our table looked like. I didn't get too many pictures, but I did get these.

This is what it looked like in December. The only difference is the tomatoes!

Lettuce: November 12 to December 15th

I transplanted this bed of greens on November 12th. I made a short video of the transplanting.



Well fast forward 33 days and here is how things are looking. I am really impressed with the growth. This is the latest I have transplanted stuff. I am going to be direct seeding some more salad mix this week. I hope it will germinate and be ready by the end of February/March.
