Was it just a holiday? Did I hear something about a long weekend happening? I can’t be quite sure because I was doing my best to avoid Instagram altogether while sweating out 150+ ounces of water daily from the 90+ degree fields. For us, it wasn’t so much a relaxing weekend as it was…

May + RECIPE: Ramp Green Goddess Dressing
Can we talk about where May went? Because the hell if I know. All of a sudden I looked up from the fields and not only was one of my favorite months coming to a close, but our CSA is almost ready to begin, our list of crops to transplant is tremendous, and the temperatures…
Mother’s Day Cheese Board + RECIPE: Pickled Shittakes
This spring has already had such an interesting rhythm. A perfect combination of sprinting to get as much done as humanly possible in the span of 24 (or 48 or 72) hours followed by enough rain to give us time to recover. We’re able to keep busy while also able to stay (reasonably) sane which…
Spring Has Arrived + RECIPE: One Pot Green Curry
Well it’s here. Spring has finally officially arrived in full force and I’ve dove straight into my spring routine. I’m averaging six podcasts a day (thanks Conde Nast Traveler and Girlboss Radio for the constant stream of amazing information), showering only once or twice a week, and ending most days with a glass of wine….
Learning to Wait + RECIPE: Asparagus with Egg, Citrus & Almonds
I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. And really, can you blame me? With the significant ups and downs of our journey into spring, how could a farmer not have a lot on her mind as she eagerly awaits and anticipates when she’ll be able to work: when she’ll be able to till up…
Our Rhubarb Patch + RECIPE: Brussels Sprouts with Harissa & Pickled Shallots
I spent most of my day Thursday in the dirt and god damn did it feel good. My leg muscles are burning. My nails have soil lodged under them. My wedding ring is a little less shiny than it was before and there is the tiniest bit of color and life back in my cheeks….
Easter Cheese Board + RECIPE: Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs
Easter is such a tricky time of year for us. We treasure time with family and love any reason to get together but late March and early April is so weird for us farmers.
Paradox + RECIPE: Hummus (or Pasta) with Lamb Ragu
Sometimes I wonder if you all understand how the pieces fit together. How I, a farmer, a young business owner, and a woman obviously in love with home, dedicated to spending my life making this little part of the world better is always on the move. Always adventuring to new places, snapping photos, and falling…
New Orleans + RECIPE: Hummus with Curried Cauliflower
A lot has happened in the past week. If you’ve been following along on Instagram you’ll know we bought a tractor, got a new farm logo, presented to a group of Soil Sisters about the effectiveness of Instagram in storytelling, and created a whole meal inspired by my lunch with my momma at Shaya in…
Happy Solstice! + RECIPE: Cabbage Patch Soup
I’m glad the weather has decided to turn itself around and get back to spring normal because after those teasing days of 50-degree weather and pure sunshine in early March, the blizzard two Mondays back (and subsequent cold spell) was totally unappreciated. Thank heavens I had a flight out to sunny New Orleans the next…
