The accelerator is pressed to the floorboards here as we approach the month of June. This is true every year, but especially on a spring like this, which started off slowly, and has seen plenty of rain. June is the everything bagel of the year on a diversified farm like ours.

Strawberries are starting to boom, my friends. So far, you've been picking exactly as fast as they have been ripening.

My favorite meal this week was this delicious-spiced lamb dish with chickpeas, roasted carrots and herbs, slathered in a simple garlic yogurt sauce, on a fresh flatbread.

Mark is moving Snack Shack to the farmhouse kitchen this afternoon. Please come over to the house, have a bite to eat, and debrief your week of cooking with us. I can hear him chopping away down there, whistling along to his music (today it's Billy Joel).
