Breezy Willow Farm CSA - Howard County, MD

Our Breezy Willow Farm's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) season is slowly coming to an end. While we didn't photograph everything we made with our organic vegetables, fruits, eggs and bread (mainly because most of the time we ate everything before we could get a hold of a camera) but here's a look at some of the things we made.

If you want to learn more about Breezy Willow Farm's different CSA programs then go to the farm website or read some of our older blog posts here and here . Another great source of Breezy Willow Farm information is another blogger Kitchen Scribble who does a great job photographing her share almost each week.

Fresh ravioli  with tomato sauce (tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil) 

Meatball sub (tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil) on bread from la madeleine bakery 
Sautéed fresh spinach with garlic and olive oil


Fresh washed spinach 

Butternut squash baked with BW honey.  Farmer RJ Caulder
suggested we put them on pancakes with syrup and raisins.
They tasted as sweet as baked apples slices. 






Roasted brussel sprouts 
Quiche (ham, broccoli, onions, garlic) w/ garlicky spinach & b sprouts



Italian meatloaf (onions, garlic, tomato, left over garlic spinach, rosemary/lavender bread, basil)  with oven roasted romanesco cauliflower and garlicky mashed potatoes

Romanesco cauliflower 

Cavatappi pasta,  broccoli, peas, asparagus, roasted onions and Sweet Italian sausage  in a artichoke pesto sauce 

Fusilli basil pesto with peas, broccoli, roasted eggplant &  peppers tossed with pecorino cheese - some veggies
were from Clark's produce stand 



We get one loaf of our choice weekly. Our favorite bread EVER - Great Harvest Lavender Rosemary - made with Breezy Willow eggs, lavender and rosemary.  Although there are many different breads to choose from each week, such as Honey Whole Wheat (using BW honey), Challah, Cheddar Garlic, Nine Grain, Tuscan Herb, Rye and more,  we mostly come back to the Lavender Rosemary because it goes with just about anything - PBJ, cheese, deli meats, toasted (on bagel setting) with BW pumpkin butter. Hint - since the Lavender Rosemary is sliced thick, try it in a toaster on "bagel setting".  Breezy Willow suggest that to us and it was soooo good.

Breezy Willow Farm Honey Graham Ice cream 
Breezy Willow Farm just started making its own ice cream.  Our family has tried the Honey Graham and Ben's Blueberry Blast flavors which we all LOVED.  Other flavors include Casey's Key Lime Pie, Salt Lick, Maple Bacon, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Mousse Brownie, Honey Lavender and Pumpkin. Our goal is to try them all.

One of the many Breezy Willow Farm jams, jellies and butters we have tried. Pumpkin butter is our favorite.
