Composting Methods: A Thorough Overview
Let the Heirloom Potager team help you set up the best composting solution for your home or business based on your composting goals, available space, lifestyle, and budget.
Spinach Artichoke Hummus
If spinach artichoke dip is a requested staple, you wont be disappointed with this healthier variation. Spinach artichoke hummus is a dairy-free, protein-rich full of fresh flavors (or pantry staples). Enjoy with warm flatbread, toasted crostini, carrots, steamed artichokes, and radishes.
Water-wise Edible Garden
Even with an ongoing drought in California, it’s possible to grow a productive and sustainable, organic food garden (or landscape - we design those too). No extreme methods are required to have a water-wise edible garden. If you’re not sure where to start, complete a garden inquiry form to schedule a garden consultation.
Mango Turmeric Hummus
One of my favorite fruit to enjoy is a decadent ripe mango. My mouth is watering just thinking about the sweet sticky juice and rich flesh. Combining mango with heart-healthy turmeric, this hummus recipe is a sweet version of the savory classic. Great as a stand alone option, I also enjoy pairing this hummus in protein bowls with quinoa, flaky fish, and lots of fresh veggies.
Chocolate Hummus
While hummus in our household is most often of the savory variety, the occasional sweet treat is always welcome. Full of protein and no processed sugar, chocolate hummus is one way to flip the script on all your previous ideas of what you can make with garbanzo beans. I added local honey, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder for a rich dip that goes well with fresh strawberries, bananas, and of course your favorite cookie.
Potager Salad Philosophy
At Heirloom Potager, we follow a simple philosophy to use fresh ingredients with pantry staples and a few classic recipes that enhance the best of the season. Follow our easy approach to creating delicious salad without fuss. We consider proteins as an additional item that can be added to enhance any salad, but it shouldn’t be the focus.
Lemon Garlic Hummus
Herb roasted garlic pairs with Yotam Ottolenghi's lemon paste for a savory combination on the classic hummus dip. The bright and concentrated flavor of the lemon paste elevates the hummus for a mouth-watering combination that is best served with fresh herbs and warm flatbread.
Harissa Cauliflower Hummus
Spicy harissa makes this cauliflower hummus recipe a full meal seasoned with , dill, lemon, garlic, and sliced almonds.
Why raise chickens in your kitchen garden
Over the past few years we here at Heirloom Potager have noticed a lot more people raising their own chickens. You may have seen a small flock roaming a garden in your neighborhood, stumbled across an urban farming account on social media, or have hipster friends who make their own pickles and have added chickens to their yard, and wondered why would someone want to own chickens. Some people may want fresh eggs at home, others may even like to raise their own meat, but from a gardener's perspective, here are the reasons we love having chickens in our yard.
Taco Hummus
A fun spin on a classic favorite, Taco Hummus brings all the flavors of Taco Tuesday in a healthy meal option served with a side of chips.
