It’s December 22nd my friends! Which means there are exactly 3 days until Christmas, 9 days until New Year’s Eve, and 10 short days until our CSA launches for the 2019 season! It’s honestly hard to know which thing to focus my massive amounts of enthusiasm on because I adore the holidays, I’m so ready…

Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide + RECIPE: Spicy Ham Hand Pies
It’s official. We have entered cookie bake season which means I’m feeling very festive, a little fat, and way behind schedule on all of my gift purchasing. Without fail, every single Christmas I repeat this pattern where I sort of forget to be thoughtful until it’s nearly too late. I wax poetic to everyone who will…
These Gray Days + RECIPE: Caramelized Shallot Dip
Boy oh boy has it ever been gloomy here in my beautiful home state of Wisconsin. Honestly, since we returned home from Maui a little over a month ago I would guess that 95% of my waking hours have been under cloudy skies and it seems like pretty much everyone in my life is handling…
Thankful + RECIPE: Homemade Green Bean Casserole with Shallots
We made it guys. We planted 3+ acres of vegetables. We packed 150 CSA boxes of produce every week to feed 200+ families for five months. We employed people. We hosted so many farm parties. We went to Hawaii. We came back. We planted garlic, raced to get things out of the field before the…

Out of the Fields + RECIPE: BBQ Brisket Pizza with Coleslaw

Pretty soon I’ll be running reports, crunching numbers, throwing together spreadsheets and having long conversations with my…

Time to Getaway + RECIPE: Raw Broccoli Salad with Fried Onions & Peanuts
We booked the tickets in April. I got an alert that round-trip flights to Hawaii had dipped below $400 for the exact week that our friends happened to have a trip to Maui planned. A trip they had already asked us to join them on several months prior. The list of reasons not to go…
Rainy Day Fun + RECIPE: Baby Hasselback Potatoes with Fry Sauce
How are all you Wisconsin friends feeling about this non-stop rain during what is supposed to be everyone’s favorite apple orchard visiting, cider donut eating, fall leave viewing time of the year? I know, I know. Me too. It’s dreary and gray and so damn inconsiderate of the weather to continue being this wet during…
Fall Love + RECIPE: Butternut Squash, Kale & Apple Salad
I love fall. I love fall so freaking much. We’re only four days into this new season and I feel like I’ve never been happier in my whole entire life which is ironic because if you were to ask me how I felt a month earlier, I probably would have answered back that I was…
