Hello dear ones and happy beautiful, cloudy, mystical October to you! I have been absolutely adoring this fall and the way it keeps oscillating between beautiful sunny seventies and moody gray days that are a bit cooler. I’ve worn heavy sweaters and shorts, cozied up next to bonfires and sweated while hiking, sipped warm soup…

Kale & Carrot Salad with Pecans & Feta
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…
Roasted Potato & Kale Salad
Wowee! It is cold outside. Here in the Midwest, we went from high summer (temps in the high 80s and overwhelming tomato abundance) to deep fall (like the “should we turn the heat on” kind of fall day) in the blink of an eye. And honestly, all of Wisconsin is not really sure how to feel…
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…
Zucchini & Greens Pancakes
It’s zucchini season!!!! Which means our summer is about to get a whole lot heavier and the harvests are about to become a whole lot more constant. Harvest season at our farm always begins rather slowly. We have so much to get planted in April and May, we have very intentionally made the decision not…
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…
Kale Salad with Shredded Turnip, Radish & Mustard Dressing
Hello and happy 2020 everyone! I hope you had an amazing holiday and most festive start to the new year. We had a perfect blend of social chaos (for some reason we decided to host our first ever holiday party a day before our first of four Christmas-es began), obsessive reflection (I spent at least…
Ode to the Season + RECIPE: Kale Peanut Salad
Slowly, it’s coming– this calm beautiful transition into fall. I love Wisconsin summers. Despite the way they seem to race by every year, I treasure them. I hold them dearly. Every season, we work hard to try and find just a few more minutes away from the farm to really savor them without work because…
Supporting CSA + RECIPE: Easy Eggplant Parm Bake
When my Carrot and I started this farm seven years ago, it’s safe to say we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. And though we have grown our business by 30-40% every year and are extremely proud of the produce we put out into our local community each week, there are still…
Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide + RECIPE: Spicy Ham Hand Pies
It’s official. We have entered cookie bake season which means I’m feeling very festive, a little fat, and way behind schedule on all of my gift purchasing. Without fail, every single Christmas I repeat this pattern where I sort of forget to be thoughtful until it’s nearly too late. I wax poetic to everyone who will…
