Summer Eating!

July 11, 2024 – 9:59 pm

While I love Fall & Winter cooking and the coziness it provides, Summer eating is really special. So fresh, so many colors, textures & flavors. Salads that can become whole meals because you keep adding different veggies, fruits and whatever meat you’ve cooked or grilled….good localvore living. Summer Eating gets better around here this week […]

We Love ❤️ Partnerships

AND we love the new ideas that come about when we get together and create great partnerships. Nothing like a […]

Thoughts from Melissa Usack, one of our farm apprentices. While the tomatoes blush in the hoop house, the sweet onions swell from last night’s rain and the sweet summer berries burst from every hedge, we ask you to turn your attention away from the fanfare of the season to revisit and celebrate one of the […]

Linking Flavor, Ethics and Ecology

July 10, 2012 – 9:17 pm

This week, a few of us farmers were uplifted and captivated by some Sunday Morning Radio. After a long, tiring week, we flipped the radio on early Sunday morning and found ourselves in the midst of the most articulate conversation about why we do what we do.

Just Food, Earth Day and (why) It Is Ethical to Eat Meat

April 18, 2012 – 11:01 am

Why is it Ethical to Eat Meat

April 18, 2012 – 10:42 am
