This year, our Brussels sprouts had a late start, and they were taking forever to form, but I am happy to announce–they are finally ready to harvest! They will be available at our Pop-up Event on Saturday October 12 at Aurelius Fine Oils and Balsamic Vinegars. They will also be in our final Farm baskets this Thanksgiving weekend!
Discover the Delight of Brussels Sprouts: From the Garden to Your Plate!
Brussels sprouts often get a bad rap, but when grown fresh and prepared right, they can be the star of any meal! These miniature cabbage-like veggies are packed with flavour and nutrients, especially when harvested at just the right time.
One of the best ways to enjoy Brussels sprouts is roasting them with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The caramelization brings out their natural sweetness, making them a delicious and versatile side dish. They’re perfect for adding to any holiday spread, or even as a quick weeknight dinner vegetable.
If you haven’t given Brussels sprouts a fair shot yet, now is the perfect time. Swing by our pop-up event this weekend (Saturday Oct 12th) for a sampling tasting of Brussels Sprouts with Aurelius Black Walnut Balsamic Dressing, a recipe from our very own chef Brennan. A perfect balance of nutty, tangy and savoury with our very own Brussels Sprouts!
Grab a pint of them from our Little Farm Cart, and pop into Aurelius’ shop for some delicious Olive Oils and Balsamic vinegars and try roasting them at home. We will even send you home with a recipe card! You might just discover a new fall favourite!
