The Leek & The Carrot

Big Sky, Montana + Yellowstone Travel Guide

Last month my Carrot and I (and our two pups!) headed out on a sweet little road trip to Big Sky, Montana. It was the most blissfully simple winter vacation of early bedtimes, blue skies, long (cold) hikes, good food, cribbage, wildlife spotting, and a sweet little cabin (with a fireplace!). It felt like we…

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…

Salted Maple Granola

Hello dear ones and happy January. I know it has been a dark start to the new year and an extremely difficult past week. And I know it feels like right when we all thought we were finally going to get a little bit of a break from constantly holding our breath, we’re now experiencing…

Butternut Squash & Ricotta Toasts

Merry Christmas week everyone! Are you feeling festive yet? Thanks to a couple weeks of hikes on beautiful snowy trails and a massive cookie baking day with my mom (where we went completely insane and made nearly 900 cookies during one very-long day), I’m totally feeling in the holiday spirit. I’m glad we’re back in…

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…

Maple Brown Butter Apple Crisp

It’s November!!!!!!!!!! The most cozy, wonderful, nourishing month of the year. Am I right?! Yeah, I’ve heard not. Two years ago, I learned that not everyone relishes November with as much enthusiasm, coziness, and unbound joy as me. A handful of folks actually told me I was completely wrong about my passion for November. They…

Fall Grain Bowl with Millet & Mushrooms

Yesterday we officially said goodbye to the 2020 season by sending off 2500 pounds of produce off to our storage share members. There is pretty much nothing left in the fields to harvest or sell, and the majority of our fall clean up has been completed. Life has officially slowed enough that I can come…

One-Skillet Turnip, Mushroom & Rotisserie Chicken Pot Pie

Hello friends, it’s been awhile. How are you? Have you been enjoying the changing leaves and falling temps? Here in Wisconsin we are having some of the best fall colors we’ve had in years and it feels like a gift to us all for surviving the madness that is 2020. The past three weeks on…
