Kale Salad

A few summers ago I really embraced Kale Salad.  I must admit I was a kale salad skeptic at one point, and I like kale.  But now, I am a full convert. Seems it might be time to start my Kale salad binging again.  Crisp, yet tender and it just feels like I must be […]

We are back to having a wide range of fresh greens available. Our overwintered plants and the new little ones are growing well offering a range of options. And they pair beautifully with our stored & frozen veggies and our range of meats, pestos and soups! All orders are still through our online farmstand, which […]

Carrot Steaks

Donna introduced us to these and they are simple and delicious!  There is a lot of flexibility on the spices and herbs you choose what is surprising is how well the spice mix does come through in the finished carrot steak.  Our storage carrots are holding well and this is a great additional way to […]

Welcome Dosa!

As we approach Thanksgiving, we offer gratitude far and wide to all who enable this small farm to keep producing. This year, as we look towards the traditional Thanksgiving centerpiece of a Turkey, we welcome to the farm their new protector. Two years ago, when we hosted members of the Tri-State area’s R.A.T.S group, they […]

Available from Farm: Thanksgiving Week(s)/Late November

Thanksgiving is traditionally such a celebration of food and nourishment and community/family.  We hope we all find our ways to maintain the intent behind those traditions as we all create new/smaller/distant celebrations this year.  In our part as Farmers, we have put our care and love into the food we offer you for your daily […]

Seasonal Transitions

Whereas nature is dancing toward the quiet tones of late fall and winter, our hoop houses harbor stockpile of greens to keep all our plates full of fresh green vibrancy. And our various storage systems enable us to tuck in the full color spectrum (marinara, pumpkins, squash, tomatillo sauce, pickles, currants, elderberries), squirreling it away […]

Asado Roots: Potatoes (or Beets)

Adapted from Anya Fernald’s Home Cooked – Essential Recipes for a New Way to Cook, which is fabulous!  Let’s just say the first section is on building blocks and it includes lard and 3 bone broths, including Trotter Broth – she hooked me there.  She got her start with the Slow Food movement in Italy and […]
