Mark and Suzi Lilly

This past winter has been challenging for Farm to Family because of an escalation of a heart condition that Suzi had that required surgery and hospitalization. We are very grateful for the wonderful health care that Suzi received from the caregivers and doctors at the Fan Free Clinic and the Access Now program which helped her get the medical care she needed despite lack of health insurance.  Access Now, a non-profit program of the Richmond Academy of Medicine, serves the Richmond, Virginia community by providing access to specialty medical care for the uninsured.  Please read Suzi’s story in the Spring 2013 issue of Access Now’s Patient’s Navigator newsletter. She is feeling MUCH better now!

Southside Outpost to Close Sunday, June 9

We wish to thank everyone for their support of Farm to Family’s Outpost in Southside. Unfortunately we will have to close this location at end of day on Sunday, June 9th.  It was a very difficult decision to close down and pull out of the TaZa location just as the season was beginning, as we truly love the neighborhood and the people in it. But we have come to the point where we had to make the decision that it was no longer viable for us to continue there.

We know that many of you are disappointed or sad or frustrated and we are sorry that we are unable to sustain our presence on the Southside at this time. We faced numerous challenges and certain logistics and design problems that were much harder than anticipated.  Thank you to everyone for observations, insights and advice. If we could have done it over knowing what we know now, many things would have been different.

Suzi also became very ill just before we opened, which was a major curve ball for us — recovery has been long and hard, and that also factored into our decision to close before we had really made our footprint on the Southside.

Thank you to the local press for writing or broadcasting about the Southside Outpost, and especially all the generous people on Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Pinterest, Tumblr who talked, blogged or wrote about us, photographed us, tweeted or liked us. You are the best. Thank you again to everyone who has shopped with us, visited, called, sent us messages or posted words of encouragement when you heard we were closing Southside.

Thank you to our staff — Krissy, Deanne, Devin and Diego – you are truly fabulous. We appreciate you and your hard work very much to try to make this happen. We also are grateful to TaZa who gave us this opportunity to be in their space, and to Chocolates by Kelly, who also share the space.

We ask that everyone makes the active decision to support TaZa and Chocolates by Kelly – they have a great thing going. Please support your local businesses, farmers, farmer’s markets and grow your own vegetables as much as possible. Your local economy will not thrive if you do not choose to support it. We hope that you will continue to help grow Farm to Family, our farmers and vendors, by making the trip to visit our market and farm on 360 East.

Sincerely, Suzi and Mark Lilly

Pan-Fried Fennel

  • SERVINGS 4

Ingredients

  • 2 medium fennel bulbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs, for dredging
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Green Pasture coconut oil, just enough to yield about 1/4 inch in the pan

Directions

  1. Remove tops and fronds from fennel bulbs. Slice each bulb in half widthwise. Cut each half into slices about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Pour flour into a medium bowl and bread crumbs into another. Season with the salt and pepper. Crack eggs into a third bowl; whisk until frothy. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge fennel lightly in flour, then in egg, and then in bread crumbs, shaking off excess after each step.
  3. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Check to make sure the oil is hot enough by tossing a pinch of flour into the pan. If the flour sizzles, the oil is ready.
  4. Fry fennel slices until golden brown on each side, about 30 seconds per side, working in batches so as not to crowd pan. Drain on paper towels; season with salt. Serve hot.
