This week meet Kate Donald, one of the owners of Three River Farmers Alliance, and farmer-owner of Stout Oak Farm! Kate has been farming for 20 years, and was first was drawn to farming as a career while working on urban agriculture projects in New York City after college. She trained at the Farm and Garden apprenticeship program at the University of California at Santa Cruz and then worked on farms in California and Massachusetts before returning to New Hampshire, where she grew up. In 2012, Kate and her husband Jeff purchased land in Brentwood, where Stout Oak Farm put down more permanent roots.

Kate chose farming as her profession because she sees growing food as a way to contribute something positive and nurturing to the community in a really direct way. She loves the physical work of farming, and feels lucky to spend most of her waking hours outdoors.

Her favorite vegetable to grow and eat is kale! She loves improvisational cooking with whatever is in abundance, and views any meal that includes 8 or more different vegetables as a personal triumph!

Evan Eppler shares his favorite Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe!

My father ran a bakery out of my childhood home. This recipe was a summer time favorite in our small village. It always tastes better with local ingredients like the ones featured here! Though likely derived from a number of New England recipe books, this one is credited to Kryndlemans Fine Baked Goods of Strafford, Vermont.

Crust

3 Cups Aurora Mills Flour

1/2 Tablespoon salt

1 Cup Crisco or other shortener

9+ Tablespoons cold water

Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Cut in Crisco just to the point where no large chunks of shortening remain (Encourages a flaky crust). Sprinkle cold water over dough one tablespoon at a time tossing pastry with a fork to mix. Use only enough water so that pastry binds together in a clump but is not sticky wet when handled. Form round into a ball each for the bottom crust and lattice top. Work with hands to flatten each disk and roll out on floured surface to desired size and thickness.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

1 Double portion of crust

2 Jumbo Eggs from Julie’s Happy Hens

3/4 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons Aurora Mills Flour

1 1/2 Cups rhubarb cut into 1/2 inch pieces

2 Cups fresh strawberries, stemmed and halved

1 Teaspoon fresh lemon zest

1 Teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/4 Stick Casco Bay Unsalted Butter

1+ Tablespoon equal parts cinnamon and sugar (to top lattice)

Preheat oven to 450*

Beat eggs lightly mixing in the flour, sugar, lemon zest and juice. Combine with rhubarb and strawberries in a large bowl. Toss until rhubarb and strawberries are coated. Pour into an unbaked pie crust reserving some of the liquid. Dot the top of the filling with slices of butter. Cover with a lattice top. Brush with the remaining egg mixture and sprinkle top generously with cinnamon sugar mix.

Place in the oven, reduce heat to 350*, and bake for 40 minutes (I enjoy the tips of the crusts slightly burned and tend to cook longer).
