I know I already told you all about our lovely farm retreat last month– the conversations shared and decisions made. I alluded to many of our favorite spots in that post but in case you are planning your own quiet winter adventure to some of Wisconsin’s most stunning places, I figured I’d do a deeper…

Maui, Hawaii
I’ve been babbling about my farmer trip to Hawaii on social media and dribbling out tidbits to you all here for over a month now so I’ll try to get straight to the details and be brief in telling you about how magical my trip to Maui was (because I have a feeling you got…
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…
The Great River Road + RECIPE: Leek & Pepper Pretzel Dip
I love discovering new parts of Wisconsin. I think our little part of the world is so endlessly beautiful. So lush and magical, with winding roads that swing through hills and valleys. So picturesque and varied, with historic towns, tribal lands, and shimmering lakes around every corner. So agrarian and rustic, with sprawling farm land, humble…
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…
Pacific Northwest Road Trip
All of southern Wisconsin is covered in a thick, beautiful blanket of snow right now. Snow has been falling on and off for the past week, and I know I probably shouldn’t be so excited about it because it’s making getting anywhere difficult for everyone but I’m pretty…
Mexico City + RECIPE: Super Simple Street Tacos
Two months ago I took the most beautiful, freeing, serendipitous, dreamy adventure I had been on in nearly a decade. On a whim (or rather on a flight deals website), my old college travel bestie Michele and I booked a vacation together after my farming season was mostly wrapped up. The entire trip budget: $700….
Rest & Recovery + D.C. Recos + RECIPE: Delicata, Leek & Chard Salad with Brown Butter Sauce
On Wednesday we said good bye to our CSA members for 2017. It’s a time of year that always comes with intense mixed emotions. And this year it was even more bittersweet because holy cats did that season go fast. It was a beautiful season filled with wonderful new friends, a hilarious and kind farm…
Camping + Illness + RECIPE: Sweet Corn Risotto with Corn Cob Broth & Cherry Tomatoes
Two weeks ago my Carrot and I headed out to Buckhorn State Park for our annual Carrot birthday celebration. We hiked and lounged in our hammocks. We watched the doggies swim and we hunted for campfire wood.. We blew up the most ridiculous air mattress and slept like total babies through the night (two feet…
Soil Sisters at Raleigh’s Hillside Farm + RECIPE: Snap Pea Salad with Chard Pistachio Pesto
It’s hard to believe August is only a couple short weeks away. For me this is bringing mixed emotions. It means our tomato season is so close I can actually taste it (!!!!!!). But it also means some of our other favorite vegetables (like peas) are already finished for the season. It means the farm…
