Happy Holidays and THANK YOU!

Happy Holidays and THANK YOU!

What's new on the farm:

Happy Holidays everyone! 

I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you.

Everyone who has replied with comments or support,

or has purchased honey and caramels from us,

or has spread the word to your friends and family, 

or has taken the time to read this newsletter to learn about our food system - it all makes a big difference to us!

This business is a really small business. It involves myself, Andrew, a small and mighty crew of 6 seasonal beekeeping assistants and 1 part time production assistant. And lots of help from our parents and family. 

Being able to spend our lives producing healthy, real honey and for people like you is a real privilege for us.

And so we are really grateful that you have chosen to support us instead of a big corporation. 

It honestly makes our day when we hear how you have added our products to your healthy routines, and pushes us to keep going.

I hope that your new year ahead is full of health, gratitude, peace, and love!

Baked Salmon with Honey Dill Butter

Over the next week, if you are celebrating the holidays, between the cookies and chocolates and rich desserts, you might be looking for a fresh and simple meal to cleanse the palate and reset before you enjoy your next feast.

Salmon or trout fillets are so easy to bake in the oven or put in the air fryer. With this honey dill butter, you can enjoy a delicious sauce that comes together in a few minutes.

Ingredients:

Honey Dill Butter:
2 tablespoons fresh dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, very soft
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons honey

4 6-8 oz salmon fillets (or use lake trout!)
olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Combine and whisk together the ingredients for the honey dill butter in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Salmon: Rub the fish with olive oil. Season the flesh side with salt and pepper.
3. Bake in the oven at 400F for 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness. Start checking at 11 minutes and add more time if necessary.
4. If using an air fryer, set to 380F for 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness. Start checking at 7 min and add more time if necessary.
   
5. Plate the fillets and drizzle on at least 1 tbsp of the honey dill butter and enjoy!
