State 28 Farm

Good morning from the farm.

There’s something special about that first cup of coffee when the sun starts peeking through the window and the world is still quiet.

Before the shop opens, before the deliveries, before the harvests and the endless to-do lists, there’s this moment. A chance to pause, breathe, and be thankful for another day.

Wishing you a morning filled with good coffee, grateful hearts, and a little sunshine on your face.

Make today a good one.

We just did a huge restock out at Gifts on Main in Grand Saline. If you haven’t been to this quaint shop yet, you’re missing out. Not only do they have apparel, accessories and gifts- they now have vintage items too! We rarely leave without purchasing several items. Look at what I took home for my love today. Yes, we’re duck obsessed over here. 🦆

P.S. Don’t forget to load up on your favorite State 28 Farm products while you’re there. They make great gifts for any occasion.

There’s something special about working with coffee houses and cafés.

We just completed a fresh delivery and restock to Antoinette’s Coffee House, and we’re always grateful for the opportunity to partner with businesses that not only stock our products on their shelves, but also incorporate them into their menus.

From our artisan jams and boozy jams to specialty pantry items, we love seeing local restaurants and coffee houses get creative with our products in sandwiches, pastries, charcuterie boards, breakfast offerings, seasonal specials, and more.

As farmers and food makers, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching the ingredients we grow and create find their way from our farm and kitchen to your table through the hands of talented chefs, bakers, and café owners.

If you’re in the Malakoff area, be sure to stop by and support this wonderful local coffee house. You can grab a great cup of coffee, enjoy a delicious meal, and take home some of your favorite State 28 Farm products while you’re there.

Here’s an easy recipe to use our State 28 Farm Pickled Okra.

Southern Pickled Okra Corn Salad

This is one of those recipes that disappears fast at potlucks, BBQs, and summer gatherings. The pickled okra adds crunch, flavor, and just the right amount of tang.

Ingredients

• 1 jar State 28 Farm Mild or Spicy Pickled Okra, drained and sliced
• 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, frozen and thawed, or grilled)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Crumbled cotija or feta cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Slice the pickled okra into bite-sized pieces.
2. Combine corn, tomatoes, onion, avocado, cilantro, and okra in a large bowl.
3. Whisk together lime juice and olive oil.
4. Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently.
5. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
6. Top with cotija cheese and serve chilled.

Mild Version

Use State 28 Farm Mild Pickled Okra for a bright, tangy salad that pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, burgers, or fish.

Spicy Version

Use State 28 Farm Spicy Pickled Okra for an extra kick. Add a diced jalapeño and serve alongside brisket, pulled pork, or smoked sausage.

Farmers Tip:

Turn this into a complete meal by adding black beans, grilled shrimp, or diced avocado. The brine from the pickled okra also makes an excellent addition to homemade vinaigrettes and Bloody Marys. Yum!
