Brining & Roasting a Turkey

November 14, 2023 – 6:56 pm

We generally brine our turkeys, out of habit now almost. And because the Cooks Illustrated timing seems to work well for us, and if we are using a frozen turkey, brining is a GREAT way to finish defrosting the bird.  We often use a cooler for the brining process and put in cold water and […]

November 16, 2021 – 8:42 am

Gratitude is a piece of our Regenerative Farming and there is SO much to be grateful for despite the challenges the world faces. A blessing of seasonal shifts, holiday seasons and winter breaks is they pull us back to those basics and the awe provided by nature. As we finish packing Thanksgiving and stock-up orders […]

November 15, 2020 – 3:37 pm

This was our favorite discovery of last winter…yes our friends and family ALL got to see it at any occasion we could think of while the Winter Luxury Pumpkins lasted. Yes, it is that good and that easy! We meant to try it with a Long Pie pumpkin as well, going more boat shaped, but….never […]

Gratitude is a renewable resource and there is SO much to be grateful for, but it is often difficult to hold ourselves in that space. A blessing of this holiday season, is that it tends to pull us all back to those basics. As we finish matching our pastured turkeys with the folks they’ll feed […]

Coming Together

November 17, 2016 – 7:38 am

As if operating on an off-kilt calendar there they came… over the river and through the woods! Cousin Kelsey reached out and next thing you knew more relatives from near and far wanted to gather and there we were twelve members of our extended family grateful for each other and our meal. It is a […]

Turkeys get to Boston One Way or Another!

November 5, 2015 – 8:42 am

Giving Thanks…

November 23, 2014 – 8:59 pm
