In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran visited Strawberry Hill Nutrition farm with their mom, Jessa Greenfield. They all had the opportunity to sit down with Owner and Operator, Verne Fallstrom, to discuss what makes a nutrition farm different from organic farms.
Strawberry Hill Nutrition Farm is really founded on the idea that healthy soil will ensure a healthy crop. It was really incredible to learn more about what it takes to ensure a balanced base for the foods that we grow in Washington. Verne has worked the right kind of magic, and has found that he can grow reliable produce with no pesticides or fertilizers at all. So, the great tasting food is truly feeding our bodies in the best way.
Verne Fallstrom
Verne isn’t your ordinary farmer. He has spent years studying the sciences of horticulture and cultivation. In fact, he has nearly five decades of experience in geology, geophysics and geochemistry. He earned his certification of Master Gardener and Master Composter, which is obvious to those who have seen Strawberry Hill Nutrition Farm. Verne grew it from nothing and the outcome is amazing, and definitely worth a visit!
Beet & Cocoa Cake
Ingredients for Dough
- 1 3/4 cups gluten free flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups swerve
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups cooked and pureed fresh beets (we got ours at Strawberry Hill Nutrition Farm)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sifted powdered sugar for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch cake pan with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
- In your mixer, blend the sugar, eggs, and oil at a medium speed for approximately two minutes.
- Slow the mixer speed to gently fold in the beets, melted chocolate, and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients slowly, beating consistently.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the cake sit overnight for a more intense flavor.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the cake with confectioners sugar.
