COOLER SPECIAL | Our Sales Assistant & Pantry Buyer, Fiona, used Honeycrisp apples from one of our farm partners in Virginia and pecans from @nutkrack to make @nytcooking's apple cider doughnut recipe. We're 120% certain that they lasted no more than 10 minutes when she announced to the office that there were homemade doughnuts in the kitchen. ⁠⁠

FRESH | We recently visited @wildhopefarm, one of our South Carolina farm partners, and talk about prickly pears! Wild Hope planted prickly pear cacti along their deer fence to deter other animals from enjoying their green fields, as well as to sell as a specialty crop. And let us tell you, prickly pear fruit is truly special. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You really have to work for this special fruit, but the flavor of the prickly pear is worth your while (and the occasional prick). It tastes like a cross between a watermelon, earthy raspberry, and strawberry. It is seed-heavy, but we don't mind the seeds because it gives the fleshy fruit a little crunch. Eat a prickly pear raw or add it to a smoothie (link in bio). You can also make a syrup for cocktails. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In order to remove the majority of the spines before the prickly pears make it to the Happy Dirt cooler, Wild Hope's Peanut and Mary use their flame weeder to lightly burn off the spines without hurting the fruit.

Have you tried prickly pear? What are your thoughts?

HAPPY WORDS | Our farmers may not see themselves as artists, but it takes a skilled artist to turn acres of brown soil into rolling, emerald fields. 💜🌱
