At the Farmstand: Dec 20-26

The holidays are upon us and the sun is going to shine!   Which means we can harvest some delightful fresh greens for all of you….one of our gifts to you. And the hens are starting to lay decently and we have supplemented with eggs from our friends at The Farm at Woods Hill, so bake away […]

Holiday Pancakes

Or depending on the audience you could call them Pretty Pink Pancakes or what they are…beet pancakes.  They are quite spectacular, we love them with some blueberries or other fruit, adding to the mornings color with some yogurt on top! And perfect with some of the farm’s pasture-raised Maple Breakfast or Alsatian Christmas Sausage. Mari figured […]

At the Farmstand: Dec 13-19

It is feeling like mid-winter, but rather the holiday season is upon us! Despite the weather, our team has some lovely fresh salad greens, cooking greens and spinach to go along with our pasture-raised meats, and organically managed root veggies!   And eggs are back in plentiful supply, thanks to our friends at The Farm at […]

Recipe adapted from Chichi Wang’s recipe on Serious Eats 2 tablespoons dijon or whole grain mustard 1 teaspoon white or red wine vinegar or Artesano’s honey mead 6 tablespoons olive oil (some could be any farm fat) Kosher salt and freshly […]

SnowVember

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…

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

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 […]

At the Farmstand: Nov 15-19

Seems winter is arriving at least at the farm.  It just calls for the slow roasted meals and soups.  The farmstand is stocked with ingredients for both (and even some pre-made soups).   This week at our Farmstand you can find: • Eggs (very limited, members only until the young hens start laying)   Fresh/Stored […]

At the Farmstand: Nov 8-14

We’ve been slow cooking goat shoulder..perfect weather for it.   This week at our Farmstand you can find: • Eggs (limited, members only until the young hens start laying)   Fresh/Stored Veggies • Arugula & Asian Green […]
