Tsue's Farm

We've driven past Tsue's Farm hundreds of times (literally), but it wasn't until recently did we stop to check it out.

We primarily went there to eat. They have a limited menu of plate lunches.

Spicy Garlic Shrimp

Shrimp Combo

Bo Spesho

Kalua Pork

Each plate comes with rice, salad, and pineapple.

I had the Bo Spesho, which came with teri chicken and noodles.  The teri chicken was more like shoyu chicken in my opinion, and was pretty salty.  The noodles were okay.  The plates are pretty pricey at $19 or $20.

My sons loved the Garlic Shrimp and Kalua Pork.

For $5, you can get a heaping mound of shave ice.  For $1 extra you can add on toppings (like condensed milk). 

It was so refreshing.

There are animals on the farm - mostly just goats and a turtle, and you can even pick fruit (for a fee).  

There is no fee to just walk through the farm, and if you're lucky, the employee may have some lettuce for you to feed the goats. 

The farm is also a launching point for kayakers and stand-up paddle boarders, and there were a lot of people who were coming through to rent kayaks or stand-up paddle boards to go down to the Anahulu River.

Tsue Farm was a nice spot to check out for a morning.  There was plenty of shade so you could enjoy your lunch or shave ice in comfort.

Farm Link Hawaii Delivers Right to Your Door - for FREE! New Customers Get $10 Off Your First Order!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post.

I used to go to the farmers market often before the pandemic hit.  Even though farmers markets were eventually able to operate, I have been very hesitant to go (I still haven't gone to a farmers market!).

I miss being able to get fresh produce or locally-sourced and -crafted items, but thankfully, Farm Link Hawaii offers a way for customers island-wide to get local veggies, beef, chocolates, and more - right to your door - and delivered for FREE!

With just a $30 purchase, you can get products from over 150 local farmers throughout the state delivered the very next day.  No subscription is required.  You simply order what you want, when you want.  

That's right!  Order lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, shrimp, beef, and more by the cutoff time, and you can get them delivered the next day (delivery takes place Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays; pick-up is also available at designated locations).

I recently made an order for cilantro, tomatoes, bone broth, and beef.  I submitted my order, chose my delivery day, added delivery instructions, and on the day of delivery, I received texts to update me on the status of my delivery.

Easy!

Thanks to Farm Link Hawaii, I had access to these local products with which I made Birria Tacos (thank you Chef Brian of Na`au for the recipe help!).

The family loved it, and I quite frankly impressed myself (I'm more into baking versus cooking).

Speaking of baking, next up I'll be ordering items to bake with!  Farm Link has eggs, chocolates, honey, and more!

There are also so many products I discovered and never knew existed, like Kipuka Mills Okinawan Sweet Potato Flour, Kailua Honey Sweetheart Cinnamon Macadamia Nut Honey Butter, and The Vegan Cheese Shoppe Cashew & Macadamia Grated "Parm."

Farm Link is a great way for producers to reach more customers, and for customers to access local products.

Let me know what you order and what dishes you end up making!

Visit Omaha: Stirnella Bar & Kitchen

One of my favorite restaurants in Omaha was Stirnella Bar & Kitchen, a gastropub specializing in farm to table fare.

Ramp Gnocchi

Deviled Farm Eggs

Short Rib

The Ramp Gnocchi was soft and pillowy, and bursting with flavor. The gnocchi was served with fava beans and king trumpet mushrooms in a vibrant asparagus sauce. 

I especially loved the Deviled Farm Eggs, which were topped with ham and smoked trout roe, and served with a ramp aioli.

The Short Rib was served with a grit cake and a sweet pepper relish.  The meat was tender and went well with the charred poblano sauce.

A small kids menu is available with three items at $10 each:

Butter Noodles

Fried Chicken

Grilled Cheese

The service was pleasant, and I would highly recommend Stirnella to those looking for fresh finds in farm to table dining.
