Amazing Guests in the Barn

Green Mountain Girls Farm was once again thrilled to host our farmshare members Mary and Evan with their Scrag Mountain Music concert series. One of the ways they attract and reward the artists who travel to Vermont is with homemade farm fresh meals and the opportunity to play in intimate spaces. Conversation with these globetrotting, […]

Seasonal highlight of the week:  Spinach, no doubt.  This is the moment of all things spinach, spinach roulade, salads, soups and even blanching and freezing some.  Let us know if you want some processing spinach.  Ok, joining the spinach are delightful baby romaine lettuce heads, Flashy Troutback is the variety (for those salad & fishing fans). […]

Green Mountain Girls = Food Revolution

It is the inspiration of our name, certainly.  The new commercial and video (also above) about the farm from Guy’s Farm & Yard (produced by Mt. Mansfield Media) explains our name quite nicely and we love that.  We know it is sometimes confusing. Does our name refer to the owners, the leaders in the pasture […]

Sautéed Kale-sparagus

Sometimes Mari’s ideation gets us in trouble, sometimes it opens great doors.  One year ago, it was the latter and we are excited that the moment in time for Kale-sparagus has arrived. We introduce a Spring ephemeral on the farm – Kale-sparagus.  Tender, succulent, delicious fast growing shoots of the Kale plant heading to flower. […]

Tomato Pesto Frittata

A little flashback of a recipe Penelope made for us years ago that somehow never got published.  This grey, snowy, icy Spring when many are dreaming of summer seemed like just the moment.  A touch of summer flavors while we are waiting for Spring and Summer. Whipped this up the other day for farmer lunch […]
