At the Farmstand: Dec 13-19

It is feeling like mid-winter, but rather the holiday season is upon us! Despite the weather, our team has some lovely fresh salad greens, cooking greens and spinach to go along with our pasture-raised meats, and organically managed root veggies!   And eggs are back in plentiful supply, thanks to our friends at The Farm at […]

SnowVember

Ok…we haven’t taken accurate measurements, but we do obsess about the weather.  Rough count was 23″ fallen since November 9th BEFORE this week’s storm….which had almost 8 (measured) inches Tuesday morning, plus all the rest that came.  Wow, we used to describe ourselves as snow-starved before we moved back to Vermont.  Check, solved that yearning! […]

At the Farmstand: Nov 29-Dec 4

Who’s Living in our Barn?

Our dry lumber resides in a corner edge of our South barn, resources for future projects. Plenty of open space is left for this winter’s mixed group of gilts (future sows) and “market” pigs.   But this particular sounder of swine or passel of hogs appears to have neighbors who have channeled some good-sized tunnels […]

Bubblicious

Nope, not the gum.  But our hoophouses are once again quite bubblicious, meaning that enough snow, ice and grapple have been freed from the outer plastic to allow the air to flow once again between the 2 layers of plastic and create a protective bubble of air that helps snow slide and not build up. […]

A Very Green/Verde Day

  Kale Pesto, Spicy Pesto, Mojo Verde, Tomatillos & Salsa Verde….yep all in 1 day and they weren’t small batches. Over 30 lbs of greens and around 150 lbs of tomatillos. All in the effort to transform the fresh abundance of this season into bright, tasty options for the next season.   And it is such […]

Snow is Back with Pi Day Storm!

The snow is back, blanketing the farm…                             And the farmers took advantage of it…..                   And the farm dog apparently conquered us all in sledding.

Offerings of Peace

  The uncertainty and struggle in the world reminds us to also look towards the beauty around us.  Wishes for Peace and wholehearted holidays to all. 

Embracing Winter

                              We generally do embrace Winter around here.  It is a part of Vermont we love dearly –Winter and all that it brings, especially when it brings snow.  For me, there is something so calming, so cheery, so comforting about the […]
