Seasonal Highlight of the Week!  Salad Greens & Chimichurri!  Ok, I know it feels like late November, which also meant we did a BIG harvest of our salad greens that were outside.(they don’t like this weather either)  So use our lovely salad greens and some ripening tomatoes to be your sunshine, that and bake some […]

#RootedinVermont

It is fall and while I love root vegetables all year round, the colder temps make them both more appealing to cook, and of course they are seasonally appropriate as they will last.  Just a little appreciation here for the roots — by us and the pigs too.   The pigs do love their roots […]

Seared Bok Choy with Bacon Vinaigrette – Bittman

From Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Mark says, “You can grill the bok choy instead of searing it if you like.” 1 1/2 to 2 pounds bok choy, parboiled and shocked 6 ounces bacon, finely chopped 3 tablespoons sherry or white wine vinegar, Artesano’s Honey Wine vinegar is also really nice here. Salt and […]

Green Tomato Cake

This recipe came from the Farley’s and it is not only a great use of lots of green tomatoes, but a delicious spice cake/bread.  So delicious that another member, Becca, of Two Potters made at least 5 one year for the Studio Tour open house, which is this weekend, you could always bring some green tomato […]

Busy Fall Days

Ah, it is good to welcome October, even with some chilly rain.  As much as I LOVE September weather, the September workload always exceeds available hours and leaves this set of farmers weary, behind, and questioning why we do this. And this rain is SO needed, by the land and it gives our team that […]
