🍂 That’s a wrap 🍂

This week marks the final CSA (vegetable subscription boxes) pick ups for the season.

This was our first year offering a CSA option. Each week we filled 42 veggies boxes that made their way into our community.

We loved getting to know everyone and filling boxes with each individual/family in mind.

We learned a LOT.

Some of our goals for next year include-

Adding more variety like garlic, sweet potatoes, and more fruits.

Increasing production to have season long availability of favorite staples like lettuce and carrots.

Doubling the amount of available boxes.

We’re so grateful for everyone who took the leap and supported us this year. As always, we couldn’t do what we do without you!

🐮 it’s been a busy last 12 hours 🐮

2 out of 3 babies on the ground. Mamas and babies doing so well.

We breed specifically for females to be able to expand our future herd with animals raised the way we want them to be, so both are little heifers 🤍

Rare raw milk availability! (Organically fed jersey cows, A2A2, zero antibiotic use)

Hey there 🍂

I’m Addie and my husband and I own and operate Frostbite Family Farm in Lonsdale, MN.

Here we raise our beloved herd of purebred A2A2 Jerseys, not only for their spunky personalities, but for their incredible cream-lines and high protein milk.

What makes us different-

🌱 our ladies are pastured 365 days a year
🧄 raised and managed holistically
💊 no antibiotics have ever been used on our farm - we treat our animals holistically.
🧂have 24/7 access to Icelandic kelp and minerals + selenium
🌾 they receive a small amount of grain during milking to keep a healthy body condition. That grain is mainly ground field peas, is certified organic, and free from corn and soy.
🧪 cleanliness is our top priority. We regularly run bacterial tests on samples of our milk to make sure our cleaning practices are the best they can be.

We rarely open spots up to the public. We have incredible customers that usually keep us sold out, but as of the first - second week in October we will just about be doubling the cows we have in milk.

As an added bonus, on farm pick up is in our farm store where we also offer lots of other seasonal products
(available products can vary week to week)

🐓 pasture raised, organically fed, meat chickens
🥓 pastured pork from heritage breed pigs, fed certified organic, corn and soy free.
🌱 Microgreens
🥕 organically grown vegetables
🍳 organically fed, corn/soy free eggs
🍅 Summer CSA’s
🍯 raw, local honey
🍁 local, pure maple syrup (and infused!)
🧴locally made tallow products
🍕locally produced sourdough products that use organic ingredients (pizza crusts and cookies from ….)
🍄‍🟫 and the occasional batch of freshly harvested, locally produced mushrooms
+ plus more

🍂 With fall right around the corner 🍂

We are now in full on preservation mode on the farm. At this point in the summer there’s always this feeling of knowing all of these beautiful things are going to come to an end. One of my favorite things (when we can sneak in the time for it) is preserving some of the summer as a gift to ourselves over the winter.

Fermentation is one of those preservation methods we’ve made far too complicated. You don’t need fancy equipment. It can be done quickly and adjusted to be just the way you like. Sauerkraut shouldn’t cost $12 a pint like it does at the grocery store it definitely shouldn’t be pasteurized.

So if you’re in need of a simple way to nourish your family through the winter, and use up some of those cabbages take a peek at our sauerkraut method below

🥬 Simple Sauerkraut 🥬

If I could pick one item to preserve from the summer harvest it’s sauerkraut. This is a winter staple for our family, not only because of its incredible flavor, but for the incredible effect it has on our health. And it is SO. SIMPLE.

We start with cabbages- My favorite to use are red cabbages. They’re nutritionally superior to green cabbages just because of its dark red pigment, which also makes the sauerkraut a beautiful bright pink color. In my experience, it also tends to have a slightly fruitier less sulfur flavor than green cabbage. But swapping for green is perfectly fine.

Other things you’ll need-
Clean jars (I use wide mouth half gallons)
Salt (not iodized- sea salt)
A rolling pin (Or something similar to pack the cabbage)
A cloth and a rubber band (Honestly, I usually use a paper towel)
*optional glass weights, but I’ve done it without

1- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage to get rid of any dirt/blemishes then cut the cabbage in half and remove the core.

2- Slice cabbage into ribbons of desired thickness.

3- Place cabbage in large bowl and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt for every pound of cabbage and massage the salt in for about a minute. This will start breaking the cabbage down and releasing the liquid. Let this sit for about 20 minutes.
(your average medium sized cabbage is about 3-4lbs- I’ve used a scale and I’ve just eyeballed it in the past. Both have worked)

4- Grab your jars and with clean hands begin to fill the jar about 1/4 of the way full then use your rolling pin to pack down the cabbage. This takes some elbow grease but really pack it in. Pressing/pounding it will get rid of oxygen that can be harmful to the fermentation process, and it also the releases the liquid you need to keep the vegetables covered.

5- Continue adding cabbage bit by bit, packing it tightly in between, until you’ve filled the jar, but keep an inch to 2 inches of headspace so that as it ferment, it doesn’t overflow. The liquid from the cabbage should completely cover the vegetables at this point. (This last time it took about 1.5 medium cabbages to fill a 1/2 gal jar)

6- Place a glass weight in to keep the cabbage submerged, or just make sure all the veggies are tucked in to avoid mold accumulating on the top. If there are a random floating pieces, I’ll just remove those.

7- Cover with some sort of cloth and a rubber band and let’s sit on the counter for 3-5 weeks. We will start tasting it around three weeks. Personally, we like it with a little more crunch since it tends to continue fermenting slowly in the refrigerator. We will typically stop at around 3 to 4 weeks. But adjust to your taste.

At this point, the sauerkraut is finished. Place a clean lid on the jar and put it in the back of the refrigerator.

Without any further processing, this is preserved in the refrigerator for months. Use as a side for just about any meal to add some probiotics and all sorts of other goodness to your plate 🍽️
