Garlic Scape Tempura

View this post on Instagram

At @eastbrookcommunityfarm we are celebrating summer solstice with garlic scape tempura! The scapes always come in this time of year, when the sun is at its zenith. So we remember the day by frying them in knots like tiny ourobobodes 🐍 🐉 And look at @cicadathebug all dressed in solar red and beaming ❤️ she so pretty! . . . -maximus #solstice #summersolstice #garlicscapes #scapes #garlic #permaculture #communelife #intentionalcommunity

Repost from @eastbrookcommunityfarm: “We saved the best (biggest!) for last. This is our last root-cellared kohlrabi. We’re eating it shredded with our ACV and olive oil.” . . . #weirdvegetables #kohlrabi #giantvegetables #brassica #vegetablesofinstagram #vegetablegardening #organicgardening #communelife #communalliving #intentionalcommunity #intentionalliving

Dumpster raisins! When you dumpster too many grapes, one of the best ways to make use of them is to make raisins! Pluck them off the vine, wash them, and then put them in a dehydrator at 135° for about 48 hours. These grapes have been in there for about 3 hours now, and they are already starting to shrivel a bit and turn brown. Check back in in like 20 hours and we'll post an update on their raisinful developments 🍇🍇🍇 . . . –Maximus #dumpsterdiving #raisins #grapes #freegan #homestead #communelife #intentionalcommunity

Raisin making about 20 hours in. Still over a day to go before they fully transform, but these dumpster treats are well on their way! The color has completely changed from Green to light brown, and a distintive shrivel has appeared! Final update will post tomorrow probably. . . . –maximus #dumpsterdiving #raisins #grapes #freegan #dehydrator #communelife #intentionalcommunity

Finished raisins! A mere two days ago they were abandoned grapes in the dumpster, thought worthless because they could not be sold. Today they are super sweet fruit candy, ready to nourish communards for months to come! Thanks DumpRa! . . . –maximus #dumpra #dumpsterdiving #communelife #raisins #freegan #intentionalcommunity
