The Good Farm

100% farm-to-table.
Fried potatoes, garden peas, and a fresh homegrown lemon balm and flat leaf parsley pesto. Topped with a perfectly poached jammy egg (the only way to do it!).
I skipped the cheese in the pesto this time, but if I had to grate one over the top... Parmigiano Reggiano wins every time.

Grateful for the glorious weather here this morning. A little out of breath it's a bit of a climb with 15 lb of feed on one arm, but we got there!!🤪

100% farm to table, It always feels a little special, when everything on my plate is from our farm.

Straight from the oven and steaming hot, sometimes thats all you need to appreciate pure flavour.
The beetroot on your left is from last year's harvest and the one you the right is fresh from the ground. Same variety but a year apart. Both have completely different, simple and complex flavours, As I continue my studies with flavour and pairings in food, the student in me wanted to make a specific dish for lunch today to contrast and balance everything: adding my sweet smokey onion relish and salty Blue Stilton, yum!!! Next time!!! 🥬🫝🍋‍🟩🧀🍸

"Soft day, thank God," as the saying goes. A classic Irish drizzle, keeping us all happy. 🌧️✨
A nod to Winifred Letts, who beautifully penned the poem A Soft Day, and Ina Boyle, the incredible Irish composer who brought the sounds of our landscape to life. 🎶🌿
