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…

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…
Kale with Mustard Roasted Carrots & Shittakes
For the past three weeks I feel like my diet has essentially consisted of five ingredients– tomatoes, cheese, sweet corn, melons and simple carbohydrates. Occasionally I throw in some butter, an egg, a cucumber, an apple, some hummus, but generally I just repeat the same five or six delicious flavors in slightly different ways. Tomato…
Butter Balsamic Roast Carrots with Carrot Top Chimichurri
The best part of vegetable farming for me (outside of the abundant sunshine, happy customers, and super rewarding work) is definitely having unlimited access to all the vegetables I want, whenever I want, and not having to visit the grocery store for several weeks (or sometimes even a couple months) in the summer. I particularly…
Soba Noodle Bowl with Pork Meatballs
The last thing we did before going into a self-made isolation/quarantine was visit our friend Beth to help take the cover off the hoophouse she’d been using for a pack shed for the past three years. My Carrot, Beth and her husband unstrapped and cut the ratchet straps, took off the end-wall cover, slid off…
The Blur of October + RECIPE: Beet & Carrot Slaw with Currants
In the last 31 days, I have traveled to Door County, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and a little cabin off Lake Arbutus outside Black River Falls. My Carrot and I have celebrated our five year wedding anniversary, celebrated Halloween with friends and trimmed so much hemp. At the farm, we packed the last CSA…
Guest Post: Bounty from the Box Cookbook + RECIPE: Fennel & Torpedo Onion Salad
Back in early 2018, when my Carrot and I spent a dreamy couple of days outside Nehalem, Oregon at the cutest little AirBnb, we enjoyed many a moment cozied up in front of the woodfire with a cookbook. The place we were staying, North Fork 53, was formerly a CSA farm (now converted to tea…
Paradox + RECIPE: Hummus (or Pasta) with Lamb Ragu
Sometimes I wonder if you all understand how the pieces fit together. How I, a farmer, a young business owner, and a woman obviously in love with home, dedicated to spending my life making this little part of the world better is always on the move. Always adventuring to new places, snapping photos, and falling…
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…
MOSES Organic Farming Conference + Meal Plan + RECIPE: Tater Tot Shepherd’s Pie
3000+ farmers, academics and friends. 450 minutes of workshops attended. Three new farming books purchased (including The Local Economy Solution, Rebuilding the Foodshed and Cold Antler Farm). (Somehow only) four beers. Two keynote speakers who were both storytellers, and both encouraging us to share our story of organic farming (!!!!!!). One adorable man named Eugene…
