Cornish Hen with Fragrant Rice Stuffing

**A Visit to a Small Family-Owned Farm**

The art of getting milk with a Clovis Road was something I learned about recently, but unfortunately, it seems like they've changed their ways and no longer offer milk. However, I'm comfortable with this decision as I had always gotten milk from a farm in Pennsylvania before. The farmer would take quarts of milk back to Monroe for personal use, and then return them to the rivets. This small family-owned operation is also known for producing rock Cornish hens, which are a rare breed.

I remember visiting a farm in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where I witnessed the humane treatment of chickens. The chickens were kept clean and healthy, with fans blowing air onto them to prevent heat stress. The process of packaging the chickens was transparent, and the family took great pride in showcasing their products. This level of care and attention to detail is something that sets this farm apart from others.

**Preparing a Traditional Rosh Hashanah Dish**

As we approached the end of our tour, I was excited to learn how to prepare a traditional Rosh Hashanah dish using the fresh ingredients from the farm. The chef instructed me on how to make a delicious and flavorful chicken dish that would be perfect for the holiday.

First, we began by preparing the garlic. While some people prefer peeled garlic, I like to use whole cloves with their skin intact, as it adds more flavor to the dish. We then added fresh thyme to the mix, which gave our dish an earthy and aromatic taste. Next, we chopped up carrots and added them to the bowl, along with diced onions, scallions, chickpeas, olives, sugar, and a variety of spices.

The chef showed me how to stuff the chicken with a mixture of herbs and spices, including coriander seeds, cumin, cinnamon, and turmeric. We then wrapped each chicken in foil and placed them in the oven for three hours, where they emerged beautifully roasted and flavorful.

To complete the dish, we added some honey and date syrup, which gave our meal a sweet and indulgent touch. The chef instructed me on how to make a little spiced rub out of the leftover mixture and sprinkle it over the chicken before cooking. The result was a delicious and aromatic dish that would be perfect for serving at Rosh Hashanah gatherings.

**The Importance of Local and Family-Owned Farms**

As we finished preparing our meal, I couldn't help but think about the importance of supporting local and family-owned farms like David Elliott's. These operations are not only committed to producing high-quality products, but they also prioritize humane treatment of animals and sustainable practices.

By choosing to shop at these types of farms, consumers can ensure that their food is produced with care and attention to detail. Moreover, these farms often provide a glimpse into the traditional methods of food production, which can be lost in industrial agriculture. By supporting local farmers, we are not only getting better-tasting food, but also preserving cultural traditions and values.

**A Recipe Fit for Rosh Hashanah**

The final product was nothing short of impressive, with each component working together to create a delicious and satisfying meal. The combination of roasted chicken, carrots, onions, scallions, chickpeas, olives, sugar, and spices made for a truly unique and flavorful dish.

For those looking to try this recipe at home, I recommend following the instructions carefully and using fresh ingredients whenever possible. Be sure to add your own touch and creativity to the dish, as that's what makes it truly special. And remember, when it comes to food, there's no substitute for love and care – just like David Elliott's farm, where every chicken is treated with dignity and respect.

**A Final Word**

As I concluded my visit to David Elliott's farm and learned how to prepare this traditional Rosh Hashanah dish, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the experience. From the moment we arrived at the farm, I knew that I was in good hands – hands that cared deeply about the treatment of animals and the production of high-quality food.

I hope that by sharing my story and recipe with you, I can inspire others to support local and family-owned farms like David Elliott's. Together, we can make a difference and preserve the values of traditional agriculture for future generations.
