Welcome to Miami Creek!

Thank you for your visit!  We had a great season at Paola Farmer’s Market, and I must say, I’ve met some great people.  What a wonderful atmosphere, location, and products!  I am so happy to have supplied the hospitality table with our coffee last year and we are doing it again this year!  The 2013 market has kicked off and we are excited to be back!

One of our Alpine goats is getting milked on a daily basis and the other two and caring for their young. After a long wait, we are finally in milk and loving every drop of it!  I didn’t think I could find a better place of it than in my fresh roasted coffee… that was until I made a batch of chevre!  With the strawberries starting to ripen, I’m wondering what the strawberry frozen yogurt will taste like!  I’m also looking forward to an array of hard cheeses to offer to those of you willing to make the trip to our farm.

Our produce is chemical free.  It is naturally fertilized and kissed by the sun.  Amazing flavors happen when items are fresh and grown naturally.  We want to share those flavors with our customers.

We have lots planned for 2013:  More plantings, beehives, protein sources, and dairy products!  I hope to be able to update the pages here over the next few months to lay out the details.

To keep up to date on our offerings and where we’ll be, subscribe to us on twitter @MiamiCreek.  Also, please sign up for the newsletter.  Once spring hits, we’ll send out regular updates to the products that are available.

Ditch the canned chicken broth and use something really nutritious… whey! This cheesemaking leftover has plenty of uses besides feeding it to the dogs or chickens. Mushrooms, garden peas, chicken, and other items can be added to this recipe. This is simply a base to get you started. Enjoy!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Rice
  • 4-6 cups Whey
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • ½ onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions
  1. Wash your rice to remove excess starch
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat
  3. Add rice to skillet and stir well
  4. Add onion and garlic to skillet and stir well
  5. Add ½ cup whey and stir – cook until liquid is absorbed by rice
  6. Continue to add ½ cup whey at a time until rice is cooked and no longer crunchy
  7. Add salt and pepper to taste – this is a great time to add fresh herbs
