Harvest Farms Vegas Vacation



Last week, four of us made a week-long trip to Las Vegas for non-farm business. Chris and Jonathan were very happy to be joined by Shaun and Lindsay for an extended double date in one of the strangest (and brightest) places on earth, Sin City, Las Vegas NV.

While we weren't able to make it to Bradly Ogden, one of the only prestigious restaurants in Vegas to feature an organic, farm fresh menu, we did dine at some of the best restaurants west of the Mississippi including Delmonico's, Emeril Lagasse's legendary (and rightfully so) Creole restaurant, The Fix, a sophisticated hot-spot with an eclectic menu (Shaun had the lobster mango tacos, Jonathan had the spicy tuna with ponzo bread), and the exceptional Dragon Noodle where Chris and Jonathan enjoyed quail egg and pork belly sushi rolls and the most flavorful miso soup they've ever tasted.

We also had a lot of fun checking out the cakes and crepes at Jean Phillippe and had a very fine time at Beijing Noodle No. 9 where Jonathan apparently got trapped inside the enormous glass fish tank full of giant goldfish. It was awesome.

But, despite the fine dining and bright lights, we all missed our beloved Virginia. We're happy to be back on the farm. We've had two successful weeks at the Culpeper Farm's Market. Our basil is all grown up and all of our recent plantings are coming along nicely. We've also set a date with the butcher for our next two freezer fulls of Harvest Farms beef. All-in-all it's been a great season for us.

Come see us at the market next Saturday and make sure to join us on Facebook. You can also check out a few desert pictures taken from the airplane on Jonathan's Flickr photostream.
