SnowVember

November 29, 2018 – 10:07 am

Ok…we haven’t taken accurate measurements, but we do obsess about the weather.  Rough count was 23″ fallen since November 9th BEFORE this week’s storm….which had almost 8 (measured) inches Tuesday morning, plus all the rest that came.  Wow, we used to describe ourselves as snow-starved before we moved back to Vermont.  Check, solved that yearning! […]

Always Busy…

November 14, 2018 – 1:19 pm

Or you could call it Mid-November chaos. First, breeding season for the pigs arrived. After a long summer vacation of grazing, fence edge clearing and lounging, the boys, Balto & Rin Tin Tin, were put back to work.  Fortunately, all the moving of pigs around the property happened before the snow came, though they don’t […]

Moroccan Carrot Soup

November 13, 2018 – 6:44 pm

In one of our first gardens in Washington, DC we grew carrots, a lot of them. They were reallysuccessful, but we didn’t have great storage options, so we made 4 different carrot soups, in large quantities. It did take me awhile to get back to carrot soup, but there are so many great options it […]

Thank You R.A.T.S.

November 1, 2018 – 8:24 pm

“R.A.T.S. is in!! Let’s roll.” Laura finished reading the email from her phone at farmer lunch. It’s opening line “The human and canine members of R.A.T.S. hereby accept your wonderful invitation to visit Vermont” along with the subsequent promise to bring “dogs, our patented rat smoker, and a truck load of enthusiasm” had prompted gut-felt […]

Butternut Squash & Kale Lasagna

November 1, 2018 – 10:51 am

The cool weather has me thinking back to a few years ago when Laurie McIntosh did some cooking classes at the farm.  This was one of the many hits.  Can’t believe we hadn’t gotten it up on our website earlier.  It was so DELIGHTFUL, different and so cozy. 4c. milk 1 stick butter ½ c. […]
