In addition to organic produce and dairy, this Wisconsin family is growing future farmers at Grassway Organics in Eastern Wisconsin.
The Sheboygan Press article about the family and store features testimonials from those who swear by the power of organic food.
And there’s plenty food stuffs to be found at the Craig family farm…grass-fed beef;pastured turkey; producer; frozen foods; organic dairy; and, of course, raw-milk (for farm share members only). Just in case you’re wondering, the membership fee is 10 bucks…for a lifetime membership. Not a bad deal.
I was checking out the inventory list from the family store and discovered that they do not sell organic mustard. And they do sell non-organic Terra chips. Though they’re apparently so good, it’s worth straying from organic, just this once. I’m sold.
And, as usual when I read about food late at night, I’m hungry…I think I’ll heat up my homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. It’s a little tart, but tastes great with vanilla ice cream.
The rhubarb was from the Daley Center farmer’s market in Chicago. I’m going with more cash…weather permitting…tomorrow.
There’s a new young hobby farm couple (read “young” as anyone younger than 40) at the market this season with some tasty jams and salsas. I’m hoping they’ll be there this week too since I ran out of money before I hit their table last time.
My father loves rhubarb pie, though I’ve never acquired a taste for it. That’s truely one of those Midwestern kind of foods — you don’t see it on menus in the East very much. Will you be brining in a pie for the office?

I also make a mean Hoosier sugar cream pie…my dad’s favorite. When I cook for pleasure, there’s usually plenty for the office. But I’m cooking for comfort lately…which explains the chicken-n-noodles I made to go with the strawberry-rhubarb pie.

Sugar cream pie??? The only way it could be better is if it were Mt. Dew sugar cream pie.
