It’s April and I’m not farming, not seeding in the greenhouse all day, and waiting for the perfectly dry day when my Carrot will till the pea beds and we can get them seeded. There are pea seeds. Plenty of them. We placed our seed order in early December before we knew there would be…

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Apple & Fennel
We’ve reached the end of the season my friends! And by that I don’t mean we’ve done our last CSA delivery. No no, that happened a couple weeks ago. For us, the end of the growing season means that the garlic has been planted, the tomato trellis taken down, the hoophouse construction finished, and the…
Beet & Kale Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
Hello dear ones and happy beautiful, cloudy, mystical October to you! I have been absolutely adoring this fall and the way it keeps oscillating between beautiful sunny seventies and moody gray days that are a bit cooler. I’ve worn heavy sweaters and shorts, cozied up next to bonfires and sweated while hiking, sipped warm soup…
End of Summer Barley Bowl with Sweet Corn, Eggplant & Tomatoes
Hello dear ones and happy September. I’ve never been more grateful to reach this beautiful month of sunny skies, cooler weather, crisp mornings, and waning work on the farm. It’s been a season my friends: a beautiful, stressful, demanding, prolific, lifechanging season. A lot has happened since we last talked way back in May. Like…
Summery Salad with Slow Cooker Barbacoa Pork & Spicy Slaw
Happy (how-the-heck-is-it-already) May Day to you all! How have you been? Enjoying the spring weather? Spending every warm, sunny moment outside (or at least perched in front of a window)?

Kale & Carrot Salad with Pecans & Feta
The season has begun! Well, sort of. For the past few weeks, we’ve had boxes and envelopes delivered to our front porch every other day (yes, our seed companies do need to get a little more organized with how they pack orders). 90% of the seeds for our 2021 crops are safely in hand (or…
Watermelon Radish Avocado Toast
These beautiful toasts are the happiest little snow day treat. I don’t know what it is about the first big snow fall of the season, but now that we’ve got several inches on the ground in Southern Wisconsin I’m deeply attracted to vibrant, colorful foods. I was on a brown kick for much of November…
Brussels Sprouts & Bread Cheese with Date Dressing
I’ve got a little last minute Thanksgiving recipe treat for you all!! It’s a super lovely, super simple salad to adorn your holiday (or regular) table this fall. I can’t believe I don’t have a true holiday Brussels sprouts recipe on my blog yet. I have a couple great shredded Brussels sprout salads that totally…
Sourdough & Salami Dressing
Thanksgiving is officially almost a week away and though I know many of us are still mourning the loss of the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations we can’t be having, I’m somehow applying my usual dose of adaptability and enthusiasm to the situation, finding myself much more focused on the celebrations I can have than those I…
