Our Farm in Film: The whys and hows

February 21, 2018 – 7:34 pm

Green Mountain Girls Farm: Short Documentary from Pete & TJ Productions on Vimeo. This short film about the farm is certainly our favorite (and most useful) student project.  Peter VanderWilden, a UVM student focused on both documentary film as well as environmental studies approached us last fall about a collaboration that would result in a […]

February 21, 2018 – 7:04 pm

While this crazy warm weather has the snow lovers saddened, and some of us even more worried about how climate change is already impacting us, the plants in the hoophouse are thrilled with the sun!  So, there is some spinach and salad mix this week (Yeah!) and we can start to sense the days when […]

Chicken Tomatillo Soup

February 15, 2018 – 8:12 am

We have been so enjoying cooking with our canned tomatillos, including the tomatillo sauce that already has some onions and garlic in it, that we flashed back on this soup, which we haven’t made in ages. Recipe adapted from A Communal Table.com Author noted, “This soup makes a great change from the usual tomato based chicken soups […]

Ode to the Beet

January 31, 2018 – 11:58 am

We often sing praises of our beets and certainly believe they are deserving of their own ode.  Which is saying a lot as beets are the only vegetable I (Laura) had a negative run-in with as a child. Long story, but suffice to say went to bed with them in my mouth and I didn’t […]

Schwarma Goat

January 31, 2018 – 11:18 am

One of our favorites from Weinstein & Scarbrough’s cookboook, Goat (so clear)!  It meets some of the criteria we love — easy, simple and delicious.  We do some simple adaptations as we aren’t purists…but love the spice on this, tasty but not too hot. And we have found you can skip and/or sub a spice […]

Who’s Living in our Barn?

January 18, 2018 – 2:27 pm

Our dry lumber resides in a corner edge of our South barn, resources for future projects. Plenty of open space is left for this winter’s mixed group of gilts (future sows) and “market” pigs.   But this particular sounder of swine or passel of hogs appears to have neighbors who have channeled some good-sized tunnels […]
