Why Colvine Farm Bison?
Bison (buffalo) is tender, rich in flavour, not gamey and very satisfying. The meat contains more protein because it has less fat marbling and as a result is lower in cholesterol than beef. They are considered non allergenic reaction. Colvine Farm Bison are raised natural, drug free with no growth hormones. (THIS IS FROM THEIR WEBSITE)
Tonight, and every Thursday night through the summer we have our Farm-To-Table night honoring a local purveyor of fine food be it a farm, garden, ranch, cheese maker, or an orchard. This evening Bobby Collins and his beautiful daughter hosted. They had information about the health benefits of bison and samples of the products that they offer.
Some of tonight’s features were.
Colvine bison tar-tare, spicy pickled green beans, black cardamom, pumpernickel, fryer pepper emulsion
Glazed bison short ribs, Anson mill smoked corn grits, pan braised bitter greens, chow-chow, green sauce
Pan roasted bison rib eye, warm eggplant and zucchini bread salad, radish, charred green onion relish
Next week we will feature Lavender Fields. Hope to see you there!
The guests to whom I served the Colvine Bison Tartare described it as “silky” and superior to any they had tried before – land or sea.
Hey… would love to come in on a Thursday night (maybe this Thursday?!?!?!) and shoot some pics.
Know of any local farms raising veal? Thanks
At this time I do not but I will do some research and post my findings.
