Misty Knoll Farm

I am excited to have Misty Knoll Farms Ground Turkey available as one our products!!

Misty Knoll Farm is a family owned and operated farm located in New Haven Vermont where the turkey's and chicken run free and happy. All of the fowl on the farm are raised without any antibiotics or byproducts in their feed. They are also a member of North East Family Farms!
This truly is some of the best ground turkey I have ever had. Since I first tried it I have been thinking about all of the delicious things I can make with it; Turkey Shepard's Pie, Turkey & Sweet Potato Hash, Turkey Burgers, Turkey Chili...

Linny's Tip - Cooking and Storing Potatoes

Potatoes should be kept in a cool, dark place with good ventilation. The ideal storage temperature is 45 to 50ºF. At these temperatures, potatoes will keep for several
weeks. But don't store potatoes in the refrigerator! When kept below 40ºF, potatoes develop a sweet taste, due to the conversion of starch to sugar. This increased sugar causes potatoes to darken when cooked. If you store potatoes at room temperature, try to use them within a week or so.

Keep potatoes away from prolonged exposure to light, which causes them to turn green. This greening causes a bitter flavor. If potatoes develop green areas or start to sprout, just trim off these areas before using.

Always add potatoes to cold water to boil. This ensures that potatoes will cook evenly throughout.

Linny's Tip: Tomatoes

Did you know tomatoes are second in consumption to potatoes!

However, there is one important thing everyone should know about tomatoes and that is how to store them. Tomatoes do not like the cold at all. In fact when you keep them in the refrigerator they will become mealy and loose their robust flavor.

Instead store them in a cool dark place with their stem side down for ripe tomatoes. For those tomatoes that a not quite ripe leave them on a sunny window sill and soon they will turn bright red and juicy ready to honor any salad or BLT!
