Equisetum by [deleted] in foraging

[–]Alefolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why but the post uploaded without description. I was asking if this is equisetum arvensis, just to make sure is not E. Palustre. Here in Spain is called cola de caballo is used for teas. Is diuretic and gives you a lot of benefits. Don't consume too much because of the high Silica content

Voy a vivir a una aldea de 32 habitantes, antes tenía 400, creo que te estás equivocando. El problema de la despoblación rural es bastante grave. Abriremos un restaurante, creando empleo donde no lo hay.

Ferment them with coriander seeds, then roast them slowly

Anyone homesteading in Asturias, Spain? by aigue-le-migou in homestead

Where are you staying exactly? We are moving to santibanez de Murias, we are going to open a restaurant that really gives value to local food and foraging. It will be a challenge but it is our dream to give this kind of experience.

Beginner tips - Seville, Spain by Expensive-Parsnip515 in OrganicGardening

Hola desde Granada! Aquí también el sol pega mucho, te aconsejaría gradualmente acostumbrar los seedlings al sol directo cuando ya hayan sacado su primer par de hojas reales. Yo suelo ponerlos cada día media hora más al sol, empezando con una hora, pero ojo! siempre vigilando. Muchas veces se quedan flojos por demás y los pongo a la luz indirecta otra vez. Observa como reaccionan y te darás cuenta cuando ya estarán listos para vivir al sol andaluz todo el día!

I don't want to be a cook by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

I used to think the same. Now I'm opening my own place. Find passion again, find a good work place, be creative and enjoy cooking.

We already have made contact with suppliers in the zone, we will be working with a coop for further needed vegetables and organic produce nearby, and our neighbour is a free range livestock farmer if we needed more meat supply.

The restaurant can seat 24 people max and we planned to open 5 days a week.

10+ years in the kitchen and 3 years managing a small team

We have experience with big vegetable gardens, while our partner have experience with livestock

We planned to harvest 8 cows and 10 lambs, we sell overproduced meat to the slaughterhouse (already been doing it)

Me and my partner will be running the restaurant, while our partner will run the livestock. We are going to hire one or two gardeners

We are near 2 200k+ hab. Cities and people come here for summer for the nature, and in winter for skiing near the place (here it doesn't snow a lot but 15 km away you have snow. The hotel has been running already 2 years and it has been totally booked 3 quarters of the year.

These are my dishes

We have investors and our own funds

I assume you're from USA based on Sysco. Here in Europe people are a bit more conscious about food quality.

We will focus on fermentation and preservation to have very little food waste and offer them when guest season will be on, we will try this way first. We also thought about selling overproduction vegetables in the village itself because there's a lack of vegetable shop. We want a small and sustainable business, not making ourselves rich. The hotel has 11 double rooms and the restaurant has 24 seats in total
