Spring Omelet
-3 eggs
-1 pat of butter
-About 2 ounces of leeks, thinly sliced
-A handful of kale, coarsly chopped
-An ounce of your favorite grating cheese
Beat the eggs with a touch of water and a touch of salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with the butter and add the leeks, cooking till slightly brown and soft, then add kale. Add the eggs to the pan, cook for about 30 seconds, then add the grated cheese. Fold one side over the other. Flip, lower the heat, cover for a minute, and serve with a dollop of pesto or a bit more cheese on top. Enjoy!

The Season…a Blog about Persephone Farm
Don’t miss, “The Season”, a blog of life through the growing season on Persephone Farm written by Bill Richards. “Our season runs from March 1, when our four apprentices arrive from around the U.S., to the final slaughter of our turkeys and lambs in Nov. Over that time, you will get to know Persephone farm through words, photos, videos and sound bites, and we will discuss issues of food economics and politics through the lens of our farm.
