I have had a crush on these women for years now. Ever since the first time I picked up an elegant round of Petit Nuage during a shift at Cow & Quince in New Glarus. I knew right away I was experiencing something different: something special. Anna Landmark and Anna Thomas Bates, fondly known simply…

Farm Crush Saturday + RECIPE: Holiday Popcorn + A Giveaway!
There is little I love more than the holiday season. Truly. I’ve already had the Christmas station on my radio (and phone) for a solid two weeks and participated in two holiday baking events. I’ve only watched three Christmas movies, but only because my Carrot thought I was hitting it a little too hard and…
Farm Crush Friday: Katy Dickson
I first met Katy in 2012 during our first year of farming. We (my Carrot and I) were young, naive and excessively enthusiastic, attending the Janesville farmer’s market every Saturday, proud to be their only transitioning-to-organic farmers. Then, halfway through the market season came Katy and Mark and their adorably perfect family. They had a…
The Return of Farm Crush Friday: Soil Sisters Celebration!!
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m not just a blogger who loves to eat. I am a CSA vegetable farmer who happens to also be a food blogger. And you guys, I absolutely love it. Vegetables, sunshine and hard work make up a substantial portion of my life. Some days it’s hard and some…
Farm Crush Friday (!!)+ RECIPE: Roasted Turnips with Brown Butter Ramp Vinaigrette
This month’s Farm Crush Friday has an extra gigantic place in my heart because it is all about the merging of good, fresh, local farm products and the talented people who cook them. And not only that, it is about a chef I have the utmost respect for and a place I loved so much…
Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week + Farm Crush Friday + RECIPE: Butter Pecan Cheesecake
Have you ever had this experience where you are finally beginning to feel like you’re a responsible adult and you’ve got your shit together and you’re actually finding some confidence about your own little place in this world…. and then you fall flat on your face? Figuratively, this has happened to me several times throughout…
Farm Crush Saturday + RECIPE: Orecchiette with Beets
This little farm girl is loving spring. I know, I know. The 5-day forecast in Wisconsin says snow. Snow twice in five days actually. But I don’t care. For now, it’s sunny and warm and I’m in heaven. I’m ignoring any talk of snow. Warm weekend hikes with my perfect pups. Seeding dates with my…
Farm Crush Friday: Lindsey Morris Carpenter
We met Lindsey last year when we were stressed out in the middle of winter with no idea where to grow our produce in the cool months of spring. We didn’t have a greenhouse and the idea of growing 80-120 flats in our house under grow lights seemed a lot more difficult than the 40…
Farm Crush Friday + Too Much Chocolate Cake
Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day. And it’s my first married one. So I obviously had to spend my Friday baking too many chocolate chocolate cakes and doing romantic things and being all lovey dovey and sneakily leaving silly, gushy post-it notes all over the house while my Carrot was napping. Even though I’m super busy being…
Farm Crush Friday: Healdsburg SHED
Oh my gosh. I love my bon appetit magazine for a million dozen reasons but one of my all time favorite things about them is how they inspire me. They are aware of the newest, freshest, coolest, most innovative places and people from all around the country (sometimes even the world) and then they not only write…
