Organic, wholesome and naturally grown goodness, it’s the common thread that weaves our communities together. This is life at a active adult community in Virginia. Whether it’s the 10 acre farm at Woodside Farms in Chickahominy Falls, or the Corner Patch Gardens in The Cove and The Grove, in the Greater Richmond area or Barley Woods in Fredericksburg, Virginia!  It’s all natural goodness.  

At Cornerstone Homes we have a real purpose to our fun.  Where you can sow seeds of friendship along with the produce. The Farm and Gardens not only produce fresh veggies, fruits and flowers for our homeowners, but also provide the perfect spot for cooking demonstrations, happy hours, games and refreshments, and many other social gatherings to connect with one another.  There is nothing like it any place around and it’s is just one more reason why our homeowners are healthier and happier!

Food is a universal language that EVERYONE speaks, and food is a universal experience for EVERYONE.The homeowners at Cornerstone Homes love harvesting, cooking, and eating together.   Trying and sharing new recipes.   Learning new cooking techniques.   It’s healthy and a whole lot of fun!   

Our Farmer, Sean, loves cooking for our homeowners and at special events at our communities.   We are sharing one of his many delicious recipes with you.   Give it a try and let us know how you like it. 

Caulicumber Salad 

• 1 Head of Cauliflower 
• 2 Cucumbers 
• Dill 
• Parsley

• Olive Oil 
• Salt and Pepper 

1) Rice the cauliflower, either by hand by finely chopping, or running the head (without  too many stems) through a food processor with a grating disc 

2) Chop up cucumber to desired size; we recommend chopped spears (sliced in  quarters lenght wise and then chopped)

3) Mix ingredients together and ensure that the riced cauliflower evenely spreads over  the cucumbers like breading 

4) Add finely chopped dill and parsley 

5) Add seasoning, apple cider vinegar and olive oil and mix entire salad
