Life on the farm has slowed way, way down. Typically we meet some sort of gradual slow down in September, but this year feels more like a very sudden stop. The late summer/early fall crops met a very abrupt end and the peak fall greens, roots and brassicas are arriving a bit later with such…

Zucchini Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Corn Salsa
The first of our tomatoes are popping, we just harvested sweet corn for our CSA members, and the melons are ripening so fast we need to test them biweekly. Peak summer produce is on the horizon and we’re beginning to eat vegetables (or at the very least tomatoes!!) every meal of the day. It seems…
Perfect Roasted Potatoes
Our farming season begins next week! Our CSA is 55% full! We’re hiring! It’s one week until March, four weeks until spring. We have a bazillion pieces of infrastructure to research, buy and build. I just got home from nearly three weeks in Europe. Lordy lordy do we ever have a lot to catch up…
Jalapeno Chive Biscuits
I discovered the simple wonder of a flaky, homemade buttermilk biscuit a few years ago thanks to Smitten Kitchen. Back then we were making biscuits to slather with butter, jam, honey and/or gravy nearly every weekend. It felt like biscuits had taken over my Instagram and I was sharing a biscuit recipe every couple months,…
RECIPE: Savory Porridge Breakfast Bowl
Now after all that talk about batch cooking and non-fussy recipes (which I genuinely meant and is absolutely my philosophy 95% of the time), here I am coming at you with a totally fussy recipe. Apologies for the lack of consistency. I just like this meal way too much not to share it. I blame…
Batch Cooking + RECIPE: Apple & Pear Baked Maple Oatmeal
Recipe revised November 5, 2022 I am all about the batch cooking and simple eating these days. I feel like I’ve done a total 180 from the start of my cooking career when I considered a great night one where I spent three hours in my kitchen making pretzels from scratch or some other all-consuming…
Hard Questions + RECIPE: Cheesy Butternut Squash & Caramelized Shallot Biscuits
I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. Ever since my Carrot and I returned from our little farm retreat a couple weeks ago, my steps have been so much lighter. It turns out I haven’t really been sharing all that’s been on my mind over these past 7…
June Frenzy + RECIPE: Mushroom & “Lots of Greens” Sheet Pan Quiche
I swear I cook more than just breakfast food. Actually I’m not going to own up to that right now because the other things I’ve been eating only fall under the categories of grilled foods, salads, cold sandwiches (usually from Rockin’ Rolls) and hummus + things I dip in hummus. And none of that really…
Mother’s Day Brunch + RECIPE: Rhubarb Crisp Pancakes
Mother’s Day is really just a very poorly timed holiday. While the rest of the world is picnic-ing and brunching and planting flowers and sipping wine from their back patios drenched in sunshine with their mothers, I’m shouting at mine because can’t she just stop talking and understand her home is my place of employment?! …
Normal Life + RECIPE: Mashed Potato Fritter Benedict
Hi. Hello. How are you? It’s been so long since we’ve talked. You know talked about regular life things and not just my greenhouse, my travels, or my insanely loving endorsement of local products. Lately my life has been pretty normal. I’ve been reading a really good book and raving about it non-stop on social media. I…
