Breakfast Ten

Fried Zucchini, Bacon, and Nectarines

This breakfast was super fun because I bought all the ingredients on one farm stand tour this past weekend!   I highly recommend driving around the countryside, checking out the scenery and all the farm stands you run into.  Don't forget to bring cash.  

The bacon came from the Foxfire Heritage Farm farm stand.  

The zucchini came from a farm stand on Kells Road, in Powassan.    They aren't advertising anywhere.  They were super nice, their produce was amazing, and they'll pick what you want from their garden while you're there!  They are not open on Sundays.  I sliced the zucchini into medallions, coated them in a very small amount of olive oil and then this batter mix (gluten free- available at Sobeys), and cooked them in my air fryer.  

The nectarines came from the same farm stand, although they were brought up from southern Ontario.  I bought a giant box, and sectioned and froze most of them, after mixing them with some lemon juice. 

If you aren't local to the area, you can skip the rest of this entry.  If you are local, here are a bunch of options for local produce (that isn't a CSA farm share):

• Look up 'The Great Powassan & Area Farmstand Tour' on Facebook.   Unfortunately, their map hasn't been updated for this year (so a few of the farmstands were empty), however it is still accurate for most farms, and gets you on the right roads for new stands.
