At the Farmstand: March 22-28

March 22, 2018 – 1:52 pm

Hello Spring…you know Vermont Spring.  But these longer days have the farmstand stocked with a range of greens again and with these cold nighttime temps our road is quite passable.  Still a few frozen ruts but they’ve been beaten down a bit by the plow and filled in a bit by the snow. This week […]

Hello March snow!  But the farmstand is stocked and the road decently passable, still a few frozen ruts but they’ve been beaten down a bit by the plow and filled in a bit by the snow.  And we did a good size harvest so there is a range of fresh greens, including some fun heads […]

March snows are here, we’ll enjoy them while we can.  Our new freezer is operational, ready for its “soft opening” while we still figure out best display options.  But lots more on offer now due to more space, including chicken parts! And a fresh batch of Field Stone Farm pizzas. Spinach this week, but looks […]

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 […]

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 […]

The days are getting longer and it is evident in the Hoophouses.  There will be some spinach this week (Yeah!) and we can start to sense the days when greens will be plentiful again.  Until then eggs & roots veggies are plentiful and there is the last of the winter squash and we are headed […]

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 […]
