Ring Neck Pheasant for Christmas

Ring Necked Pheasant Dinner

Making Merry this Christmas, 2023, means making a meal that has been grown by Briden Farm..

A beautiful meal, based on a great recipe I found at Project Upland, for Perfectly Roasted Pheasant
If You’ve been reading our Posts for a while You’ll recognize that this is the same Recipe we had at Thanksgiving.

When it comes to Pheasant, I’ve tried a lot of different Recipes,
and this one is definitely how I’ll be doing my Pheasants from now on!

You’ll see the Pheasant sits in the oven on a Cast Iron Frying Pan on Carrots.
Or in our case German Fingerling Potatoes. I love them! Especially good for Home Fries.

I also love Kennebec Potatoes, and thankfully we had both growing in our Briden Farm Gardens.

We’ll be adding Green Beans and Corn on the Cob, also grown by Briden Farm and put in the freezer a few months ago to help preserve freshness. We love being able to prepare a meal, especially on a special Occasion, and especially when it’s the food we’ve raised ourselves.

Of course, I did tweak it a bit, with Watkins Pepper, Sea Salt, a dash of Lemon Pepper, and Cajun Spice.

Our First Meal Grown On Briden Farm

First Home Grown Meal

Tonight was special, we’ve owned this place for one year and two weeks, to the day. So, this spring we used goats and pigs to clear land for pasture and some of that pasture we turned into garden. Unfortunately we won’t be getting much of a crop as the soil is very nitrogen deficient. 

As a result, I don’t expect to have enough potatoes for Winter, and the green and even the yellow beans I interplanted with them are stunted. So, we figure we might as well enjoy them now. 

We also have turned our Berkshire Pigs into Pork at this point and that’s currently being processed at the butcher. Today we got the heart and liver. We also picked enough new potatoes, and green and yellow beans, to make a nice supper. We actually bought the onions for the liver and onions, but everything else was grown here. Our first meal grown on Briden Farm. The Liver was like sweet, juicy, and tender… Steak!
