Food on the Farm

When I won the farm trip, everyone I know who had been before congratulated me, then immediately started talking about the food. And it really didn't disappoint. I took the caterers card, even though I don't know anyone in Asheville, because for real ya'll, it was incredible! The company is called Wild Indigo. It was so fresh and good and they used local and seasonal stuff and even some of the vegetables were grown on the farm. I took a picture of everything I ate of course.  Check it out: 

First morning: Pineapple honey scone, spinach, goat cheese, and local egg fritatta, peach coconut muffin, and some dreaming cow yogurt. The muffins! And you can see the nalgene Travis bought because it was my favorite colors. He is the sweetest. 

For lunch we had salmon tamales (ahhhh!), fresh guacamole, and a chickpea quinoa salad. We had elderberry punch throughout the whole trip, and I'm kind of obsessed. It is so good!

Wild flower cookies and lime cranberry shortbread.

The salad had homemade honey dill dressing (amazing!), I can't remember the deal with the white beans, the pasta was corn pasta, and there are some roasted beets in the back. It was my first time eating beets and they were GOOD! It felt like we were eating a lot, but since we were walking all over the farm we really needed too. Even with all the food I didn't feel bad at all (i feel sick every vacation because I over indulge). 

Another peach coconut muffin, some off the hooooook banana bread, and a goat cheese/spinach/egg quiche. I need to get the recipe for those muffins. I've been dreaming of them!

Salmon, with pearled barley and another good salad with a balsamic dressing. Mmm, i wish the caterer could cook for me every day. I felt great after those two days. Probably the combo of good food and fresh air.

After dinner the first night they had this guy come and tell us stories and sing songs. He is one of their wild crafters (meaning he gathers while crops like mushrooms). It was awesome! He told stories about nature and plants and basket making. He was so funny! It was the perfect thing after a long day out in the sun. We sat on the farm house porch while it rained and laughed until our bus came to pick us up. Pretty perfect.
