Polk’s Folly Farmstand is small, family run local food shop offering humanely raised meats, fresh eggs, pesticide-free vegetables, and a variety of other goods made with love and locally sourced ingredients in Cedar Crest, NM.
How can raising animals fit into regenerative farming? They are our GO-TO spot for local meat (they have the best sausages!). They are local leaders in how they are sustainability raising pigs and practicing regenerative farming. They divert TONS of food from going to landfills by feeding it to their pigs. We’ll hear from Ethan, from Polk’s Folly, about how farming that heals the land, treats all living beings with respect and care, and supports healthy vibrant communities from the soil up.
What will we be cooking?
Fallon will show us, using Polk’s Folly ground pork, how to crisp it up with lots of ginger, garlic, soy & fish sauce. This creates quick, yet deeply flavorful crispy pork!
We’ll then quick pickle some onions & radishes to give it some acidic tang.
We’ll serve the pork & pickles veggies over rice noodles and then top it all off with lots of herbs and fresh greens. This way of eating is inspired by Vietnamese dishes – where there is very flavorful meat served with rice noodles, herbs, and & fresh greens. It is SO tasty and refreshing – and fun to eat!
