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…
Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Red Onion & Brown Butter Hazelnuts
I don’t know how many of you know that I have a part-time job off the farm. On the surface it may not seem as “glamorous” or interesting as my delicious, sun-filled farm life so I don’t talk about it as often, but I have been working part-time at Midwest Environmental Advocates for a very…
Celeriac Mash with Brined Pork Chops
It’s been ten days since we landed back in the United States and life has never felt more spacious. Which honestly, I did not expect after being gone for the better part of February. Our days have been equal parts farm doing and farm dreaming since returning home– a balance I relish. We’ve inventoried seeds,…
Winter Freeze + RECIPE: Spicy Brussels Sprouts with Peanuts & Apples
My little home in Southern Wisconsin (and much of the Great Lakes basin) is experiencing a crazy arctic blast of beyond sub-zero temperatures right now. The temps are to stay below zero for the next 48 hours peaking tomorrow evening at a chilling -30 degrees. That’s before windchill. As a farmer, I am of course thinking…
Our Rhubarb Patch + RECIPE: Brussels Sprouts with Harissa & Pickled Shallots
I spent most of my day Thursday in the dirt and god damn did it feel good. My leg muscles are burning. My nails have soil lodged under them. My wedding ring is a little less shiny than it was before and there is the tiniest bit of color and life back in my cheeks….
The Last Last Box + RECIPE: Pork Carnitas with Roasted Vegetables
I know I told you we said goodbye to our CSA members two weeks ago. But then we had this “problem.” After the CSA ended on October 18th, our basement storage was still packed full of onions and potatoes (I’m talking hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds of fully cured storage beauties) and our…
Cast-Iron Skillet + RECIPE: Creamy Gouda Veggies with Breadcrumbs
So my Carrot got me this cookbook for my birthday. Ok, he actually got me three cookbooks. (You saw the picture). But this one cookbook that he got me- The New Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook by Ellen Brown- I’d never heard of it. And if I’m being completely honest here, I planned to totally neglect it until…
Birthday Recap + RECIPE: Cornbread Stuffing with Delicata Squash & Brussels Sprouts
Alright, now that we’ve gotten all those post-election feelings out of the way, let’s get to the happy November things like birthdays and that one holiday that’s coming up in a hurry that happens to be all about food. Let’s start with my birthday because I love my birthday and you all deserve to share…
Greenhouse Season + RECIPE: Deep Dish Pizza with Cilantro Pesto, Brussels Sprouts & Bacon
You guys!? We start growing things indoors in the greenhouse in a week! This is always such an exciting/frantic time of the year for us. The skies are all gray and the ground is so muddy and even though temps are sporadically jumping above 50 from time to time, we all know the real spring…
