Why: We all want to celebrate Vermont agriculture at neighborhood farms and make sure folks know about the farmstands and how to access our cherished working landscape as well as shopping options available year round from all the farms tucked away in our hills and valleys.

The 4 Farm (for Farms) series: We wish we could go to all 4 Community Farm Days! Maybe you can?  Times and details for the other events in the series Does’ Leap Oct 14th, Larson October 15th and Maple Wind October 22nd. 

5 with a Farmer

Everyone everywhere can enjoy a fresh set of sights, sounds and sentiments from the farm via our “Five with a Farmer” short video.  

Kiss the Ground provides a valuable, deep and delightful collection of resources for all of us, including their new feature film, Common Ground, which is previewing in Vermont following our Community Farm Day as part of the Farm-to-Film Fest. Join us there Too!

Until then, hopefully the “5 with a Farmer” glimpse of our farm ecosystem inspires.  

After all, …

…How farmers farm and how eaters eat matters!

Pasture Improvement…

Sometimes what one thinks is a small(ish) project is really a solid step towards something bigger, which also means it takes many hands, tools, vehicles & …t-i-m-e!

Thanks to all our teammates, partners & contractors who helped us close this chapter of pasture improvement in the past 2 weeks, expanding where great forage can grow for our grazing sheep and allowing the ripsower (more on that later) to influence more parts of our pasture.

It started with the goal of getting a few mature and over-mature evergreens out of two pastures, roots and all. Before they came down on their own and to allow us to send the ripsower to more spots to help our pasture plants develop deep roots.

Click for video of one coming down!

So many shout-outs are needed. Gary Davis & “Ex”, his excavator, removed 4 sizable evergreens & a poplar, roots & all. And when you are pulling out trees in Vermont, you tend to also find some very large rocks, boulders even, so those were also loaded into our dump tractor for better use elsewhere.

Amy, Mari & Tyler took down some poplars & sad grey birch and readied them for the chipping team.

Snapping Turtle manouevered all of those trees into their machines and turned them into incredible chip, which will feed so many other projects (base of every compost pile, winter bedded packs in both barns, mulching for orchard and gardens), finishing the last bits just before another downpour.

Mary, Amy & Sylvia helped heal the wounds created by pulling the trees out with amendments, compost, innoculated seed and mulch.

Diverse Seed mix

Tucking them all in before this last multiday rain affair.

Our Antonio Carraro fleet (and even the gator) supported all along the way. We always love the agility of Snoopy, the dump tractor (yes, it also goes to market!) and little Antonio 1 got new found respect with its abilty to pull some hefty hitches into place for chipping.

The results, nicely covered ground and new sprouts that will feed our livestock into the future.

And renewed connection with talented mates integral to helping us harness sun, rain and our living soils to grow food for you!

We Love ❤️ Partnerships

It is so great to be back at the Northfield Farmers Market and have our on-farm farmstand open! Why? Because it is so wonderful to see all of our great customers, neighbors, and fellow farmers. AND we love the new ideas that come about when we get together and create great partnerships. Nothing like a few farmers combining ideas to create some magic. So many updates on this front…but for this cool week, we’ll start with one we are super excited about (and yes, we have done some binge eating of it this past month!)

Farm Fresh Regenerative Local Ramen Soup!

We’ve dreamed this up with the help of new friends in France (a winter hardship trip) and Hannah at Field Stone Farm and must thank our key taste testers: Tyler, Donna & Mark. We’re making a rich, lovely pork broth and adding our roasted pulled pork.

Then comes the magic. You warm up the broth and then cook some Trenchers Farmhouse Tonnarelli (or spaghettini if you like thinner noodles) in the broth. Cheers for their organic localvore pasta! They even have a gluten-free option. Add some fresh veg from Field Stone Farm –This season, Bok Choy, Tokyo Bekana, Scallions and Cilantro are lovely. But the bowl is your pallet, be creative.

Savor and enjoy…I’d say the best part is it is all ready in minutes… but really it is that paired with the nourishing, deliciousness that is stellar. #KnowYourFood

Ramen Soup Starter, Trenchers organic pasta & Field Stone Farm veggies all available in our farmstand!

Overnight Pork Roast

So this isn’t usually our favorite June recipe…but when the temps are hovering in the 50s (high!) and damp, it is both feasible & a nice way to add a little warmth to the house without feeling ridiculous for starting a fire or turning on the heat.  

This is indeed our go-to slow cooked pork roast recipe. SO, SO easy and always delightful.  Prep time less than 5 min!

Put it in for at least 6 hours, but up to 9 or 10 is fine too! And presto, dinner plus pork ready for so many other meals!  And if it is a particularly big roast, sometimes we just freeze some of the finished meat which makes for a super quick meal later!

This overnight (or all day) roast is great right out of the oven, in fact perhaps my favorite part is the picking so I can enjoy some of the crispy, salty fat edges as well as bites of the tender juicy meat.  But the final product is also fabulous for pulled pork barbecue or tacos!  With some of salsa, tomatillos or Green Chili sauce, you can make fabulous tacos or enchiladas! Or just with some of our new line of Kiwiberry & Seaberry hot sauces!

We are so thankful for Niki posting this on Foodwhirl! 10 years later still a go to! Cook while you sleep! From Foodwhirl.com

Ingredients

Pork Roast (any type, but ideally with a decent layer of fat)

Salt & Pepper

pulled pork from slow roasted

Directions

Begin by preheating your oven to 225F.

Place the roast in a roasting pan and cover it liberally with kosher salt and pepper, all over.

Place it on a rack in the middle of the oven and leave it. Seriously – leave it.  Ours generally need at least 7 hours on convection and we have left it in for 12 or more with no problem. If we know we want it on the shorter end, we have upped the temp to 250.

Take out of oven and pull or cut as fits the dish you are preparing.

We often do it overnight so that we can pull it in the morning.  5 minutes of prep before bed and when you get up in the morning, it is probably done.  But you can also do it as an all day roast. We saved some of the crispy, salty fat for use later and then the rest of the pork easily cut/pulled apart.

Niki has additional ideas about basting in the morning and such that you can check out on the Foodwhirl website.

BBQ Pork Butt Steaks or Country Style Ribs

Some tips and info on those mysterious names of meat cuts from Grillin’ Fools.com   Our butcher calls them Country Style Ribs, but same cut.

BBQ Pork Butt Steaks from GrillinFools.com

“The pork steak is cut from a pork shoulder, pork shoulder butt, pork butt or Boston butt which are all the same thing. The reason a cut of meat taken from the shoulder of a pig is called a pork butt is that when meat was shipped back in the day of wooden ships, this cut of meat was salted and packed into large barrels, known as butts, often bound for Boston which was one of our countries main ports at the time. Eventually the container name as well as the destination city were adopted for the name of that cut of meat.

 

A pork steak can be prepared in a multitude of ways. It can be marinated, rubbed, brined, sauced, or left naked. Once on the grill it can be smoked, indirected or grilled directly. It can be made spicy or sweet or salty or any combination there of. One of my favorite ways of cooking these is indirect with nothing more than salt and black pepper. The most common method of grilling pork steaks is to slather them in your favorite BBQ sauce. Another beautiful thing about pork steaks is they hold up well for large groups in that they can be stacked up in a disposable aluminum pan, slathered in sauce and kept warm and tender for hours.”

Grillin Fools.com Recipe for BBQ Pork Butt Steak (check out the link for photos and more details)

The first step is to cover in a rub

Rub Ingredients:

2 tbsp onion powder

2 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp kosher salt

2 tbsp ground pepper

1 tbsp raw sugar

1 tsp red pepper

Rub generously onto the steaks and place into ziploc bags and refrigerate three hours to overnight.

Start a fire/heat up your grill.  I like to start with the coals medium-hot to quickly sear the steaks. Then close off the air flow to the grill so that the temp drops to a medium-low heat (approximately 250 degrees).  Then continue to grill the pork steaks, turning occasionally for approximately ninety minutes for steaks 1 1/4 inch thick.

During the last 20 minutes of cooking, brush bar-b-que sauce onto the steaks (10 minutes on each side):

Cooking time will vary from grill to grill as well as based on the thickness of the pork steak.  If pork steaks are cut an inch thick or less they will need much less cooking time.

Farmstand Opens May 31st!

We are excited to reopen the farmstand for the season with an ongoing committment to growing nutrient dense, regeneratively grown food. We are thrilled to be continuing and deepening our partnership with Hannah at Field Stone Farm to ensure a wide variety of delicious, fresh, regeneratively grown vegetables, meats and fruits.

In addition to our regeneratively grown food, the farmstand will be stocked with items from some of our favorite producers and farmers. The value of these partnerships becomes ever more clear in moments like this past week with the “uncharacteristic” mid-May freeze that triggered challenges (at best) and severe veg & fruit crop losses (at worst).

Together we can help each other and through a broad based, diverse local food system find some reslience. While our fruit trees took a big hit that may mean little to no apples, pears, plums or berries this year [we are still assessing damage, but the dull pollen and lack of pollination as remaining flowers open is discouraging, especially after earlier days of gorgeous blossoms and active pollination] our pasture and lambs hardly noticed the freeze. We just kept them off the frosty grass for a few hours. /

So please keep shopping from all the local farms, helping each get through this latest hurdle of farming in an era of climate chaos. Consumer choices have an incredible impact on local food and climate resilience. While farms and agroecological farming are only one piece of the climate solution, how farmers farm and how eaters eat matters. So thank you!

The Farmstand will re-open for Self-Serve Shopping May 31st!

Hello Growing Season!

Welcome to Spring. The farm is starting to burst with lambs, buds, flowers, new products and even pasture grasses for our livestock to graze!

The Farmstand will open for the season on May 31st and we are looking forward to the start of the Northfield Farmers Market on Tuesday, May 16th. This summer we are participating in both the online summer market where you can conveniently order from home & pick up your order at the Market on Tuesdays 3-6 pm AND we will be in person (most weeks) during market hours with a range of our pasture-raised meats, soups, broth, lard, canned goods, pickles, veggies as well as some easy supper starters!

Starting May 31st, the Farmstand will be all self-serve this season, though Wednesday afternoons you’ll find Donna there to help you out! Hours are Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays 11am – 7 pm and Saturdays 10 am – 6 pm.

We’ve been prepping some great new offers this Spring to satisfy your regenivore eating! We look forward to you tasting our new sausage varieties and styles as well as the Fricandeaux — a baked charcuterie that we learned from an amazing coach, who learned from a farm matriarch in Southwest France. So tasty! Fricandeaux is great at room temp with pickles & wine [French style] OR heated and served like meatloaf, or even with a fried egg [Vermont farmer style].

And then there is our ongoing and expanding partnership with Field Stone Farm. Wait till you see and TASTE some of the new items…hard to tell which is more exciting, an expansion of our joint regenerative hot sauce line or the possiblity of amazing localvore ramen…hmm or rather yummmm! Always thrilled to be teaming up with Farmer Hannah for veggies, hot sauce and so much more!

Come see us on the Northfield Common Tuesday 3-6 pm to see what else we’ve prepped for you and taste a bit of the future. We haven’t even mentioned the no packaging regenerative dog treats……
