April Things + Huckleberry’s Barley Porridge
Rainy days. Followed by perfect sunny 70 degree days. Followed by bitterly cold and windy days. First barefoot moments in the field. First dates with our first ever CSA worker shares!

RECIPE: Roasted Cauliflower Soup
The days when you take an old, almost yucky head of cauliflower from your fridge and trim off the yuck and turn it into something glorious. Those are the very best days. Days with a gentle snowfall and the discovery of a big ol’ tin of Swiss Miss with tiny marshmallows and a throwback vintage…
