Never in a bazillion years did I ever think I’d be saying this, but tomato season is just too. damn. short! I mean I only started popping sungolds in my mouth for the first time seven weeks ago and now they likely only have a couple weeks left! Two months of tomatoes?! That is just…

Step Outside the Ordinary + RECIPES: Campfire Enchiladas & One-Skillet Breakfast
Four years ago, my hubby and I began a farm. We both always knew at our core that normal life just didn’t quite hold enough mystique for us. Adventure, independence, ingenuity and togetherness called our names. We needed something different, a path less taken. But I’ve learned recently that even the greatest adventure can quickly turn to…
Farm Summer + RECIPE: Freezie Pops, Two Ways
You all may feel like summer is on it’s way out the door, but the farm would beg to differ. It is under the impression that summer is just getting good. Out in the fields, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, watermelon and sweet corn are ripe for the picking. The sweet, sweet fruits of summertime are producing like…
Musings on Moving + RECIPE: Summer Squash, Fennel & Pesto Pizza with Zucchini Crust
Going into July 1st I was really, truly (I’ll even go so far as to say extremely) enthusiastic about the idea of moving all my and my Carrot’s worldly belongings from one dwelling to another. I was also over the moon about home ownership, but the dominant pang of excitement since late April was over…
New Job! + RECIPE: Summer Vegetarian Cobbler
I got a new job! Well sort of. It’s not like I’m changing any of my current jobs, I just added one more thing to the mix which makes me very, very happy (most days) and makes my husband think I’m even crazier than he already knew I was. Once a week I’ve been developing two…
What’s Good on the Farm? + RECIPE: Massaged Kale Salad with Roasted Strawberry Vinaigrette

Our fridge is full of delicious green things to eat and inspiration in my kitchen has never been more abundant. Our fourth CSA season began last week and I’m awash in all…
Memorial Day Weekend + RECIPE: Grilled Pizza with Asparagus, Ricotta and Green Sauce
Hello everyone! Did you all have a beautiful Memorial Day weekend? Did you eat only grilled things and spend all your time outside and maybe even get into the water? Whatever you did, I hope it was relaxing. Sadly, we did not break out our new canoe yet or find ourselves out on the water,…
Spoiling the Parents + RECIPE: Rhubarb Margaritas
It’s a rare day that I get to cook a full meal at our farm. Cook at home, yes, no problem. I do so almost daily during the off season. But once the farming season gets underway and we begin to spend more time at our farm than our home, the tables turn. Suddenly I…
We Bought a House! + RECIPE: Charred Asparagus Grilled Cheese
There’s something I have been hiding from you all. It wasn’t exactly intentional. It’s just that in the midst of all the farming craziness and the whirlwind that is springtime as a farmer, I hadn’t truly had time to wrap my head around the reality that is our 2016 lives until this past weekend. So,…
Cooking From the Pantry + RECIPE: Vegan Sweet Potato & Lentil Burgers
Spring is such a strange time of year as far as my kitchen is concerned. We may be transplanting vegetable seedlings up a storm and playing in the dirt almost daily, but it’s still too early for our farm to actually have anything for us to eat. Honestly, it’s kind of a tease. We spend our…
