March 5, 2020 – 3:24 pm

Ok, there may still be two feet of snow on the ground outside, but Spring has clearly arrived in the hoophouse. Here is the proof – transplanting! Some images from Darienne as she and other farmers made way from some older spinach plants and transplanted some youngsters into the hoophouse! The season of lots of […]

Thanks to Donna Farley for this one.  She did some experimenting and the rest of the farm team was happy to be the test audience.  We liked both the potato pastry and the pure mashed potato crust, which is a fun way to use more farm ingredients and make a quiche for gluten free folks! […]

It felt good and proactive to put get our stock pot onto the stove this week and fill it with delights from our farm tucked into the freezer covered with our lovely well water. It is true we’ve been proselytizing about bone broth for years. [Bone Broth Love; Sun Stock; New Stock Pot] It is […]

Roasted Cabbage Steaks

February 28, 2020 – 10:44 am

Simple AND really delicious, not truly, this could reconfigure your relationship with cabbage. Not surprisingly, this approach was introduced to the farm by Donna, as many recipes/approaches are and it has stuck as a favorite. You get some of that satisfying crunch yet the soft, meatiness too. A great side dish for nearly any meal! […]

Winter Art Forms

February 20, 2020 – 10:16 am

We ended last week with a celebration of love: of people, food and farm. So beautifully demonstrated by Donna’s shortbread (delicious) works of art. Then, during the latest snowstorm, Uno gave new meaning to “Winter Coat”. It does remind us of the amazing resiliency of nature. His hair, nearly like the sheep his ancestors were […]

And our […]

Avga me Domates: Eggs on a Bed of Tomatoes

February 20, 2020 – 8:45 am

In Greek: αυγά με ντομάτες, pronounced ahv-GHAH meh doh-MAH-tess. This is a quick and simple dish to make, and the tastes are fabulous. Certainly most of the Mediterannean cultures have a version of this dish and many others as well.  In their recent One-Pot Meals focus, NY Times Cooking shared a Shakshuka recipe, which adds […]
