Spring, often the most anticipated season in Vermont, as our winter’s are long, even when you love winter. On our farm, we were under snow from November 9th to just about tax day. Yes, that is 5 months of full snow cover. So Spring is exciting for the farmers, the livestock, the plants and we […]

April 25, 2018 – 7:58 am
Sometimes Mari’s ideation gets us in trouble, sometimes it opens great doors. One year ago, it was the latter and we are excited that the moment in time for Kale-sparagus has arrived. We introduce a Spring ephemeral on the farm – Kale-sparagus. Tender, succulent, delicious fast growing shoots of the Kale plant heading to flower. […]

Green, a popular color
April 13, 2017 – 9:37 am
This week, farm life, is brought to you by the color green. Granted we can’t really see any green in our outside fields yet…just the very first hint where the snow has melted. And of course where the first chervil plants are poking up..it is that time of year! But we are flush with green […]
Celebrating Spring Greens!
April 6, 2016 – 8:40 am
I do love all of our seasonal vegetables and the roots do hold a special place in my heart for their longlasting, practical nature, loyally keeping us fed through the (usually) long Vermont winters. That said, I always look forward to this moment that comes every year between late March and early April when the […]

March in like a lamb?
March 4, 2016 – 9:27 am
We often view the arrival of March with mixed feelings. The longer days feel lovely, generally it is still clearly winter, yet the demands of spring and the pending growing season seem to loom dramatically. It tends to signal the switch between the quiet season and the busy season. But this year, with the combination […]

More folks are coming this Thursday, do join if you can (for any sliver or chunk of time from 3:30-6:30. Spring abundance brought a bright array of greens […]
Embracing THIS Vermont Spring?
April 8, 2015 – 7:26 pm
As farmers we have somehow learned to work with and around the weather. We obsess over the weather, truly, and sometimes wish, hope and even plead for certain circumstances, though we know it is one of the many things over which we have no control. This winter has tried the patience and systems of many, […]
