We had some exciting news this weekend!  Farmer Morris announced that you can now Pick Your Own Asparagus at the farm.  Barrie Hill Farms is the first farm in Ontario to do this and we are very excited to send hungry customers out on the wagons to the asparagus fields!

Tips for Cooking Stir Fry Recipes:

• If you’re adding a lot of beef, cook it in batches.   Lay the strips down and let cook for 2 minutes undisturbed on high heat.  Turn over once golden brown and cook for 1 more minute.
• If you want your dish super saucy because it’s going over rice, double the cornstarch/water mixture
• I wanted to feature asparagus and fiddleheads so my dish is all green but this is a great recipe to include lots of colors.  Kids respond to bright colors on their plates and different textures as well.
• Serve on wild rice rather than minute rice.  Wild rice is an excellent plant based protein and has a unique flavor.  Many gourmet blends are available and some can be cooked in just 20 minutes.
• NOTE:  Fiddleheads cannot be eaten raw.  To learn more about these fun ferns, click HERE.
