Stew is Not an Exact Science

On our farm, one of our favorite go-to recipes, especially in the fall, is what we lovingly call "Hearty Garden Stew." It's a dish that is simple and endlessly creativie—where you can toss in whatever veggies or meat you've preserved into a pot and let it simmer. Everything from the hearty vegetables to the tender canned stew meat, have all been sourced and preserved right here on our farm, makes each spoonful a comforting reminder of homegrown flavors and natural goodness.


On a kitchen counter, various ingredients including vegetables, potatoes, herbs, and stew meat are arranged, ready to make Hearty Garden Stew.

Directions:

  1. Using an eight-quart stockpot, chop and sauté an onion & garlic until translucent.

  2. Add 2-quart jars of our canned tomatoes as a base and water. Tip: For an even beefier flavor, try using home-canned bone broth instead of the canned tomatoes—it adds a rich depth that complements the vegetables perfectly.

  3. Mix in diced potatoes and your favorite fresh or frozen vegetables.

  4. Add a quart jar of canned stew meat or use 2 pounds of fresh stew meat from the farm.

  5. Finally, add thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for a few hours until the potatoes & carrots are tender.


You’ll have enough to feed a big family for several days. Be sure to pair it with your favorite homemade bread.


For the best results, using premium beef like our Shorthorn cattle adds a level of flavor and quality that transforms every bite.
