Bobolink Update: Saturday, July 19
Cheese Sale Continued thru July 31 We just cored a sample from a September 2013 Jean- Louis, and it is every bit as wonderful and plentiful as the October bunch. So, to make room for our current production in the quite-full cheese cave, we are continuing our highly popular cheese sale through the end of July! Jean-Louis, Drumm and Baudolino, regularly $24/lb, are now just $18/lb at the farm, online, and at all of our farmer's market stands, through July 31. Enjoy! |

Craft Beer Jam at The Greene Space,
Last one is this Wednesday, July 23 |
| Only at the farm: Bobolink Cucumbers, green and blue beans, and Jonathan's half-sour pickles Bobolink's kitchen garden is going bonkers this season! we have an abundance of kirby cucumbers, old-fashioned green beans and blue cocoa beans.
The beans are being picked young, at the haricot vert stage, more or less. They are delicious raw, steamed or sauteed--but note that the blue color goes green when you cook them. We are also pickling beans, first batch will be ready soon.
The cukes are nice for slicing, with thin, un-bitter skins, and also make really nice cucumber salad.
Jonathan has been pickling cucumbers for a couple of weeks now, and the first half-sour dill pickles are ready. Jonathan is reprising his late Grandma Pauline's famous dill pickles, cured with just salt (no vinegar) and lactic acid fermentation, using grape leaves, fresh dill and garlic scapes for seasoning.
Remember the old Mickey Katz song, "a nickel for a pickle"? (Mickey was the father of Joel Grey and grandfather of Jennifer Grey of Dirty Dancing fame.) well, those days are gone! Now it's a nickel for 1/20th of a pickle!

Pesto is back!
What do you get when you mix fresh basil with garlic roasted in duckfat, a wee bit of olive oil, walnuts, and Bobolink cheese? You guessed it. Need we say more? Try it on our Emmer Pasta, or spread on any of our breads.
Available at all markets except Pleasantville (do try Buddhapesto there, it's great on our Petit Levain!). Packaged in half pound tubs, $7 each. Sold frozen for freshness and transportability in hot weather. Our pesto is pretty popular, so you may want to pre-order it here.

Meats
100% Grass-Fed Beef Finally, our supremely delicious 100% grass-fed beef is in stock! We've got plenty of ground beef at $7.50/lb, and cubes for marinating and kebobbing (yes, that's a verb). Alas, he was not a good candidate for steaks, but we do have tenderloin at $25/lb (slightly reduced because you may want to marinate). Beef will be open stock at the farm store, Union Square, and Lincoln Center. Suckled Veal
Our suckled veal is raised by momma on the pasture, so the meat is tender, rosey, and tasty, imbued with buttery fat. All cuts are available, including chops at $22/lb and ground at $16/lb. Open stock at the farm store, Lincoln Center, Union Square, Denville, and Dvoor markets.
