Happy (how-the-heck-is-it-already) May Day to you all! How have you been? Enjoying the spring weather? Spending every warm, sunny moment outside (or at least perched in front of a window)? Yeah, me too. Our cats are demanding open windows every morning (even if it’s still 45 degrees when I wake up) and there’s just been…

Retreating to the Northwoods + RECIPE: Cabbage, Leek & Pepper Runza
After seven nights away and a full two weeks off of work, I can say with absolute certainty that everyone everywhere deserves a retreat from their daily lives every once in a while. Not just a vacation or an adventure, but a real retreat that encourages quiet and calm and reflection and possibly even productivity….
Resolutions, Intentions & Farm Retreats + RECIPE: Napa Cabbage Noodle Salad
How are you all feeling as we officially end this first week of 2019? Are you still figuring out resolutions? Have you already given them up? Did you choose a word for the year? Do you think that’s utter bullshit? I lie happily in the middle: contemplating deeply about who I want to be during…
Out of the Fields + RECIPE: BBQ Brisket Pizza with Coleslaw
Every day we inch a little bit closer to the end. The field work is hours away from being completed and we’re almost ready to move into one of my favorite phases of farm life: the strategic phase. Pretty soon I’ll be running reports, crunching numbers, throwing together spreadsheets and having long conversations with my…
Celebration + RECIPE: Red Cabbage Salad with Squash, Beets & Rotisserie Chicken
Hello my dear friends. Did you follow along? Did you stay in touch via Instagram while my Carrot and I spent six sunshine filled days on the island of Maui with our farmer friends Jon and Steph? If you didn’t, don’t worry, I’ll recap the adventures here soon with a full list of favorite spots…
Happy Solstice! + RECIPE: Cabbage Patch Soup
I’m glad the weather has decided to turn itself around and get back to spring normal because after those teasing days of 50-degree weather and pure sunshine in early March, the blizzard two Mondays back (and subsequent cold spell) was totally unappreciated. Thank heavens I had a flight out to sunny New Orleans the next…
Business on the Brain + RECIPE: Sheet Pan Chicken with Cabbage & Leeks
How were all your Thanksgivings? Were they good and filled with amazing food and not too many awkward/uncomfortable conversations? Our two Thanksgivings were a healthy mix of heartwarming and stressful, just as I’m learning most holidays are now that I’m an adult. Luckily, the food was out of this world. We dove right from our…
Grilled Simplicity + RECIPE: Orange Ginger Spare Ribs with Asian Slaw
The past week has been all about recovery and getting my life back together post Soil Sisters weekend. It’s still the farming season so we’re still working hard, but also trying to find some moments for self care. A coffee enjoyed in the morning without obligations for just a few minutes. Quick meetings for collaborative…
Cabbage Love + RECIPE: Cabbage & Snow Pea Rice Bowl with Warm Coconut Peanut Sauce
We’re almost caught up my friends. Almost through the whirlwind of activity that is May and June on the farm. We’ve planted 11 whole fields (each about 700 square feet), made it through three weeks of the CSA (seriously how has that already happened?!), and thrown a farm party for new friends. We’ve fixed a…
Farm Weekend + RECIPE: Red Cabbage Coleslaw with Peanuts (and Pork Tacos!)
This weekend we aren’t doing anything other than farm planning. Okay, and cooking and baking (like a fool) and watching the Oscars and maybe even taking a hike or two, but mostly we are farm planning because believe it or not, the 2015 farming season is almost upon us! We begin planting things in 8…
