UPCOMING FARM TOUR!

We will be hosting a farm tour on March 7th at 3pm. This is free to the public, just sign up on our website at www.greenbexarfarm.com

We would love all of you to join us and see where your food is being grown. You will get a chance to tour the farm, see our growing practices, and ask farmer Cody any questions you might have.

We will also be selling some tomato, pepper, eggplant, and basil plants after the tour. We hope to see everyone there!

Sugar Cookies with Pink Beet Icing

Valentines Day is upon us and what better way to celebrate than with some yummy pink sugar cookies. Use any sugar cookie recipe you like or a shortcut pre-made one (Shhh…). This one below is delicious if you need one! Top them with this icing colored by beets instead of artificial food coloring.

Sugar Cookies

1 1/2 cup icing sugar

1 cup margarine, softened

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp almond extract

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

Mix icing sugar and margarine together. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Set aside. Mix together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Add to sugar mixture. Mix well and form into a ball. Chill for 2 to 3 hours.

Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut out with cookie cutters. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 7-8 minutes, or until lightly brown. Remove to racks and allow to fully cool before decorating.

Pink Beet Frosting

1/4 cup butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tbsp beet juice

Cream together butter and powdered sugar. Add beet juice to desired level of pink and mix well.

All our crops made it through the cold days last week and plants are thriving with these sunny days.
We just started our tomato, pepper, eggplant, and cucumber seedlings for the Spring!

In family news, our little sweetie turned ONE last week! Have y'all checked out the Tulip Farm in La Vernia? It is definitely worth checking out.
