Ricciuti’s

For the past few years we have been buying produce from Our House Organic Farm. They are located just 2 miles west of the restaurant in Brookeville, MD. “The mission of Our House is to provide the opportunity for at-risk adolescents to become productive members of their communities by participation in a rigorous residential program of “hands-on” instruction in carpentry and other construction skills during the day, academic and life skills classes in the evenings, and weekly community service projects.” The farm is supervised by volunteers.

We buy as much produce as possible from the farm. In the spring we get asparagus, chard, and rhubarb. They are now delivering berries, beans, carrots and beets. It is so great being close to the food we prepare. I often stop at the farm on the way to the restaurant to see what’s growing and what is ready for harvest. Sometimes Mary (who manages the farm) delivers the food on her bike. How cool is that?!

These pictures are from the spring. I am going to have some June pictures soon.
