Alderdale Farms' "From Our Fields to Your Table" Cookbook: Bringing Farm-Fresh Flavor Home

Kennewick, WA – October 26, 2023 – Alderdale Farms LLC, a family-owned and operated farm in Kennewick, Washington, is thrilled to announce the launch of its brand new recipe cookbook, "From Our Fields to Your Table." This isn't just a collection of recipes; it's a heartfelt invitation into the Alderdale Farms kitchen, sharing the flavors and traditions nurtured over generations. Alderdale Farms, located at 3904 W 43RD AVE, has been a cornerstone of the local agricultural community for years. We’re all about real food, grown with care. For us, it’s not just about farming; it’s about connecting people back to the source of their food – the land. We believe in sustainable practices, and we pour that dedication into everything we grow. You can reach us at 805-591-6694 if you’d like to learn more about our farm. But we realized growing amazing produce is only half the story. We kept getting asked, “What do you do with all that good stuff?” That’s where the cookbook idea sparked. We wanted to share not just what we grow, but how to truly enjoy it. "From Our Fields to Your Table" isn’t some fancy, complicated cookbook. It’s designed for everyday cooks – from beginners to seasoned chefs. We've kept the instructions clear, the ingredients accessible (with a big emphasis on fresh, seasonal produce, of course!), and the recipes – well, they're just good. What's Inside? This cookbook isn’t just about salads. While we do have some amazing salad recipes showcasing our crisp greens and vibrant vegetables, it goes way beyond that. Here's a little taste of what you’ll find: Seasonal Staples: The book is organized by season, making it easy to find recipes that highlight what’s fresh and available right now. Think hearty squash soups in the fall, bright tomato salads in the summer, and refreshing spring vegetable risottos. Farm-Fresh Focus: Each recipe is built around showcasing the natural flavors of fresh, locally grown produce. We’ve included tips on selecting the best ingredients, storing them properly, and bringing out their best qualities. We feature prominently items we grow ourselves - everything from our sweet corn to our plump blueberries! Breakfast Bites: Start your day right with recipes like Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes (using our own blueberries, naturally!), and a savory Spinach and Tomato Frittata. Appetizers & Snacks: Impress your guests with dishes like Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze, a Creamy Corn Dip (perfect with our sweet summer corn), and a vibrant Beet and Goat Cheese Tart. Main Courses: From comforting Chicken Pot Pie (made with our garden vegetables) to a flavorful Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon, you'll find plenty of options for satisfying meals. We even have a vegetarian section with dishes like a hearty Lentil Shepherd's Pie. Side Dishes: Elevate your meals with sides like Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sautéed Green Beans with Almonds, and a refreshing Cucumber and Tomato Salad. Desserts: Indulge your sweet tooth with recipes like Apple Crisp (made with locally sourced apples), Peach Cobbler, and a decadent Chocolate Raspberry Tart. More Than Just Recipes "From Our Fields to Your Table" isn't just about the food, though. It’s about bringing people together. We’ve included stories about Alderdale Farms, our family, and our commitment to sustainable farming. We've added little notes throughout the book, suggesting wine pairings, offering tips for meal prepping, and even suggesting ways to get kids involved in the kitchen. “We wanted to create something that felt like a warm hug,” says Sarah Miller, one of the creators of the cookbook and a third-generation farmer at Alderdale Farms. “Something that people could use to create memories with their families and friends. Food is about connection, and we hope this cookbook helps people do just that.” The Cookbook and Alderdale Farms’ Commitment The launch of this cookbook is part of Alderdale Farms’ larger commitment to supporting local communities and promoting sustainable agriculture. We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food, and we’re proud to be a part of the movement to make that a reality. “We’re not just selling food,” explains David Miller, Sarah's brother and co-owner of Alderdale Farms. “We’re selling a lifestyle. A connection to the land, to the seasons, and to the people who grow your food. This cookbook is an extension of that philosophy.” Where to Find It "From Our Fields to Your Table" is available for purchase directly from the Alderdale Farms website ([website address would go here]), at select local farmers’ markets, and at [list of local stores].
