August 19, Creating Flavor Profiles

by Lisa Kessler | Aug 16, 2016

Nature provides nutrition in a bit of this and a handful of that. A gathered diet is round with vitamins, minerals and co-nutrients. Daily additions of herbs and pot greens need not be difficult. Having herbal blends that are nutrient filled on hand, and right at the cooking block, make complex flavor and green “medicine” easy to include in your daily eats!

This week, Amy Sutter, Evans Market Director for Augusta Locally Grown, will be a featured guest at White Hills Farm. Amy has a strong background in good-sense cooking and shopping. She will be sharing her foray into using herbs and greens as additions to regular menu items for added flavor and nutrition.

Here’s the schedule!

10:30 Demonstration: Using Tuscan Herbs to enhance appetizers and preludes!
Samplings, pesto and herb blends.

11:15 Make Tuscan Herb Blend in a mini-class with Amy, $5.

Store is open this week from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.. Come on out to the Farm!!

Heavenly!

Sitting on the porch that is the definition of home-grown comfort, Amy brought out a dish of pecans to snack on with our lavender iced tea. The pecans were sweet with a hint of salt and ... smoked! (Patrick throws a lot of stuff on the grill and in the smoker and the results are always spectacular.) The pecans were like heaven.

Between the lavender everywhere, the porch, the view, the company, and the pecans, we might just as well have been in heaven.

You'll want to go back again and again!

Among the gardens and 100-year-old farm house is a picturesque red barn where Amy and Patrick not only sell their merchandise but also entertain and/or put on workshops. I have had the pleasure of attending several of these events ranging from cookie making, to lavender harvesting and arranging, to yoga classes.

I am always looking for what they have available because once you experience the sheer beauty and peaceful feel of White Hills Farm you too will want to go back again and again.

For me, it's a place tied to fond memories

White Hills Farm is the perfect backdrop for any occasion -- it has this way of enveloping and elevating meaningful celebrations. For me, it's a place tied to fond memories and an eagerness to return. Year round, its something to behold, a slice of heaven run by the best of people.
