You can see all the caramelized bits of squash and onion, and thyme too. We prefer our soup on the thicker side, but how much you add will also depend on the residual water content of the veggies you choose to roast up. And although it’s thick, the cream you may or may not (may) add at the end will adjust the consistency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b30330fb10598630e861890/1607650081584-DRH7E3823VE5AFMOVRJ4/05SQSAddCream+%282%29.png Blog - Roasted Fall Vegetable Bisque Cream!

I work directly with the WFM Executive Director Tracy Frey, a leader in our region, as her… Guy. She dreams big, and when we need to make something happen, I’m the person she taps to do it. It’s an incredibly unique and challenging and exciting position. And I love every second of it. I describe new challenges our current National, Regional, and Local responses to the pandemic have afforded us, and how we not only are facing them, but emerging as a regional leader. Also, I am proud to introduce you to the Williamsburg Farmers Market Online Market! Free delivery to Williamsburg residents, or set up a zero-contact pickup. I see many of your names on our orders already! Thank you! Oh, and if you have any comments, I know a guy… https://mockingbirdfarmstead.com/blog-backend/2020/5/5/where-are-our-seeds monthly 0.5 2020-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b30330fb10598630e861890/1588735953637-SWSU5N1N9HJPEHO6HO8U/NOSeeds.png Blog - Where Are Our Seeds? This was one of the major impacts this pandemic has had on us. Panic buying has forced seeds supplies to plummet and seed suppliers to halt service (most are still closed or severely restricted). This is absolutely more than you ever wanted to know about how seeds get to farmers, and how and why we were directly impacted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b30330fb10598630e861890/1588818321399-J5TXMBWK3PRSMD7X9B9F/20200505_181730.jpg Blog - Where Are Our Seeds? Things are back on track at the farm and we’re progressing swifty. There are a few cooler nights still coming on the calendar, so we’re not quite out of the woods yet. But this year we have a new suite of tools and infrastructure keeping us at the top of our game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b30330fb10598630e861890/1588818556576-E0ZJ7NGQHFKZAWTA4UEO/sunset.png Blog - Where Are Our Seeds? The opportunity to work the land at our latest expansion plot in Skimino has been an absolute joy. Some of those benefits - beyond amazing people, family, and the land - are the gorgeous sunsets we’ve been able to enjoy there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b30330fb10598630e861890/1588817429448-PY380WZQBLUQONG8F5RP/20200503_171057.jpg Blog - Where Are Our Seeds? Here’s a 200 cell tray, planted with two varieties of lettuce. The seeds in the left 100 are an heirloom variety from a backyard gardener. The seeds on the right are also heirloom, but are 2 years old and from Johnny’s, an industry leading seed supplier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b30330fb10598630e861890/1588817899359-J2HO5ZWIHKTCY5XYQRWS/goldenmountainthai.png Blog - Where Are Our Seeds?
