We will be vending at the peace ridge sanctuary 5k on saturday . We will bring a bunch of our food to sell and really looking forward to being around some animals that have been rescued from the horrors of agriculture. I am sad that my kids have soccer games and birthday parties on Saturday because our whole family really wanted to participate in this.

We are not a “plant based” company. We are vegan, Vegan for the animals, for the planet, for a shared future for all living beings beyond exploitation. I have been vegetarian since I read Charlotte’s Web at age 11, that’s 38 years. When I went Vegan, the doctor told me I was shaving years of my life and that I wouldn’t get enough protein, now I got protein for all of New England.

Staring at these acorns, thinking of how dark times are here and darker days might be coming. It’s a good year for acorns. A good year to learn to cook with acorns.

My process is simple, we let them dry out for a couple weeks, crack them, throw them in pillowcases and soak them in 5 gallon buckets rinsing the water twice a day, keep doing it until it’s no longer cloudy, and the tans are mostly gone. In the 5 gallon bucket, where the acorns are soaking, you can sift off the red skin of the acorns, again those have a lot of tans. You don’t wanna eat them.

Then we dehydrate it … we don’t have a good dehydrator so we just put it in the oven on the lowest setting and then shut it off and leave it overnight and then blend it one last time and you’ve got a high protein flour that taste like almonds . I’ve had acorn tempeh, cheeses u can do anything w it.
we did a class on acorn cheeses at Brunswick library last year …  originally I had the idea of being one of the first to the market with acorn cheese, but this was so labor intensive. I feel like we’d have to sell them for $50 a round so it’s better thing to teach people to do on their own 

For how to guide on making cheese w acorns check out pascal bauder wildcrafted fermentation (that is also where we learned the technique for our original line of soft sunflower chèvre’s). There’s lots of information out there about how to make acorn flour, and process them in general, if it’s something you really wanna do I would recommend seeking some further resources out because what I have just typed is a brief outline and there’s a lot of details to consider.

At both events yesterday we sold through nine coolers that were packed to the brim. Deepest apologies to everyone who didn’t get everything that they wanted whether it was salami or a club sandwich. We are doing our best, but sometimes meeting up with the obligations and the incredible demand for our product just in stores in Maine only, it’s a lot. We are going to expand our production space and increase our production capacity a lot over the winter., thank you for bearing with us and supporting this humble upstart.

Doing our thing this weekend, starting fall with a bang. Catch us at westernmassveganfoodfest frinklepodfarm & brunswicktopsham w all the good stuff.

People say our club sandwich is one of the best vegan sandwiches they’ve ever had, people say the same thing about our buttermilk vegan chicken(take it home and re-heat it We don’t have a license to fry things on the spot). I agree, something really cool happens when our seitan chicken marinates overnight in our probiotic oat buttermilk.

We will be at the crystal springs market this weekend in Brunswick. Loving this new porch for our smokers next to our kitchen, what a dreamy setting to create.

What does “local food” mean to you? I think about this as I overlook our forest garden, that is actually a testament to what perennial plant-based agriculture can look like… Apple trees with native ground nuts, elderberries, obscure herbs & greens…. Resilient experimental food crops for an uncertain future and a rapidly changing climate. We are planting things that are two zones south from here to make accommodations for the change in climate and migrating animals, we got spice bush growing, but we still haven’t seen any spice bush swallowtails although I imagine we will ! It’s year seven with this forest garden, and I’m honestly blown away by it this year we are flushed with beach plums right now seaberries are coming in , a lost shissandra has resurfaced , our hardy kiwis will prolly start fruiting next year…. the cranberries have spread…. This year I got Szechuan peppercorn plants in the ground…. It’s all so cool … I haven’t watered it or weeded it in years! Trying hard to wrap up some upgrades to the greenhouse before winter, but if we don’t get to it, we don’t get to it

For me “local” is not a class signifier of wealth, it’s a commitment to living in a more holistic way, and we are here for it, and also here to expand the definition of what it means…

Check back in with us in five years, let’s see how our hazelnut and Chestnut Orchards are doing! And how many of these obscure ingredients we grow we will scale up and start incorporating more fully!!! It’s exciting .
