It’s the final Downtown Edmonton market this Thanksgiving Saturday, please come on down to support our little family market garden. It’s been a pleasure serving you there the past two years.

Market Meal - Sausage, German Rice and Summer Squash

Started by browned bacon bits and strained them from the fat. Kept the fat in the sauce pan and scooped in 1 1/2 cups of basmati rice, one small jar of our garlic and dill kraut, 3 cups of water, salt, pepper and 1/4 of cup of butter. Cooked the rice until it was fluffy and then mixed the bacon into it.

The rest of the meal was made of oven roasting quartered patty pan squash from Maplewood Acres, the last of our green zucchini, sliced onions and easter egg radishes. Topped the dish with pan fried local sausage.

Dad recently had the pleasure of serving Trudy Callaghan our homemade sauerkrauts at the Market on 104 and Jasper. She made a lovely blog post about it. Which we are deeply grateful for.
If you are curious the link is below.

As always if you would like to try our kraut you can find us at the Downtown Market until Thanksgiving or Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market weekly.
