Yesterday, I blogged about my family's visit to Toigo Orchards to film an episode of Chefs A' Field - Kids on the Farm. In the post, I wrote about two of the dishes my daughters and I made using the ingredients we collected at Toigo. Here are the recipes for Local Chicken with Fire Roasted Garlic Peaches and Herbs and Heirloom Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese, Nectarines and Donut Peaches.
Local Chicken with Fire Roasted Garlic Peaches and Herbs
Serves 3 to 4
Ingredients
1 ea 3 1/2 pound Amish chicken
4 sprigs rosemary
4 ea shallots
4 ea cippolini onions
1 head garlic, split in half
6 sprigs thyme
2 ea leeks, split and washed
salt
pepper
chicken jus
olive oil
butter
Method
Preheat oven to 275 F. Remove back bone from chicken, discard or save for stock. Separate the legs and thighs from the bird, split the breast, leave them on the bone. Season the bird generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a thick bottomed saute pan over medium heat. When hot, brown the chicken on all sides. Remove from heat and add shallots, garlic and onions. Place in the oven for approximately 1 hour. Cut the leeks into 1/2 inch pieces, core the peaches and cut into quarters. Raise the temperature of the oven to 400 F and when the chicken starts to sizzle, add the peaches, leeks, rosemary and thyme. Toss to coat with the pan juices and roast 10 to 15 minutes until the breast reaches an interior temperature of about 160 F. Add a little chicken jus to the pan, toss to coat and transfer to a serving platter. Serve family style.

Hey Pastor Corey!
Well, we ARE the fortunate ones to be in church with you every Sunday, but missed that Sunday. We were in church when you forgot the Benediction however!....How did that go again? "May the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord.... The Lord....Oh, Go in Peace, serve the Lord." We had a wonderful surprise the next Sunday when you sang the Benediction. Thanks.
