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…
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…
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…
Four Days in Iceland + RECIPE: Icelandic Hot Dogs
Our second stop on farmer vacation 2017 was Iceland: the land of gorgeous scenery, geothermal energy and the infamous stopover. It was quite the shock traveling from 65-and-sunny Portugal to Iceland- eighteen degrees and shrouded in mist- but as soon as we hopped on the bus that would take us from the airport to downtown…
Step Outside the Ordinary + RECIPES: Campfire Enchiladas & One-Skillet Breakfast

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…
Columbus, Ohio
The farming season may be in full swing, but sometimes a girl just needs to get away (especially if that girl happens to be in a wedding in a couple of weeks and there is a bride to celebrate). Last weekend I abandoned my hubby and the fields, and made the seven-hour drive to Ohio…
How to celebrate a 30th Carrot birthday
Step One: Find a beautiful spot away from all the busy. Ideally on a weekday, for extra serenity. Step Two: Pack up enough food for a week even though you only plan to be gone for 2 nights. Step Three: Buy the very best (canned) beer you can find. Step Four: Don’t forget the doggies!…
Mother’s Day/Memorial Day/Chicago Adventure
Every May, me and most of my moms decide to escape reality for a very short time and head to the big Windy city for a day or two. It’s kind of, sort of a Mother’s Day trip with three out of the four most important moms in my life. (My momma, my Carrot momma…
