Thanksgiving is officially almost a week away and though I know many of us are still mourning the loss of the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations we can’t be having, I’m somehow applying my usual dose of adaptability and enthusiasm to the situation, finding myself much more focused on the celebrations I can have than those I…

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…
Thankful + RECIPE: Homemade Green Bean Casserole with Shallots
We made it guys. We planted 3+ acres of vegetables. We packed 150 CSA boxes of produce every week to feed 200+ families for five months. We employed people. We hosted so many farm parties. We went to Hawaii. We came back. We planted garlic, raced to get things out of the field before the…
Rainy Day Fun + RECIPE: Baby Hasselback Potatoes with Fry Sauce
How are all you Wisconsin friends feeling about this non-stop rain during what is supposed to be everyone’s favorite apple orchard visiting, cider donut eating, fall leave viewing time of the year?

Fall Love + RECIPE: Butternut Squash, Kale & Apple Salad
I love fall. I love fall so freaking much. We’re only four days into this new season and I feel like I’ve never been happier in my whole entire life which is ironic because if you were to ask me how I felt a month earlier, I probably would have answered back that I was…
Business on the Brain + RECIPE: Sheet Pan Chicken with Cabbage & Leeks

Goodbyes + RECIPE: Roasted Broccoli with Tahini Maple Mustard Sauce
Two days ago we said good bye to our employees on the most lovely late fall day. The breeze was gentle (but brisk), the sun was shining, and the team hadn’t been together in full for over three weeks (and hadn’t worked together without worker shares since the spring). It was the perfect way to…
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…
Hunting Widow + RECIPE: Roasted Cauliflower with Brown Butter, Shallots & Parmesan
You guys this is embarrassing. So my Carrot left for the weekend to hunt deer at his parents’ home over in the beautiful woods and rolling hills of Richland Center. We women in Wisconsin who are all too used to this inaugural opening day of deer hunting season when we are left to our own…

Let’s start with my birthday because I love my birthday and you all deserve to share…
