We booked the tickets in April. I got an alert that round-trip flights to Hawaii had dipped below $400 for the exact week that our friends happened to have a trip to Maui planned. A trip they had already asked us to join them on several months prior. The list of reasons not to go…

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…
RECIPE: Savory Porridge Breakfast Bowl
Now after all that talk about batch cooking and non-fussy recipes (which I genuinely meant and is absolutely my philosophy 95% of the time), here I am coming at you with a totally fussy recipe. Apologies for the lack of consistency. I just like this meal way too much not to share it. I blame…
June Frenzy + RECIPE: Mushroom & “Lots of Greens” Sheet Pan Quiche
I swear I cook more than just breakfast food. Actually I’m not going to own up to that right now because the other things I’ve been eating only fall under the categories of grilled foods, salads, cold sandwiches (usually from Rockin’ Rolls) and hummus + things I dip in hummus. And none of that really…
A Very Farmy Week + RECIPE: Ginger Turmeric Soup with Celeriac & Kale
For a week in late October, when the CSA has ended and the season is all but wrapped up, there has sure been a lot of farming on the mind. It began with the survey we drafted for our CSA members on Monday. Every year we ask our members to critique their experience. From quality…
What’s Good on the Farm? + RECIPE: Massaged Kale Salad with Roasted Strawberry Vinaigrette
It’s June now. (Don’t ask me how that happened). Full blown summertime on the farm. The fields are full of happily growing plants. Our fridge is full of delicious green things to eat and inspiration in my kitchen has never been more abundant. Our fourth CSA season began last week and I’m awash in all…
Transitions + RECIPE: Garbage Quiche
Things on the farm are ramping up my friends. We’ve officially transitioned from thinking about things like balance and travel and having a clean home to thinking exclusively about the farm: what we have to do each week, what we need to focus on and what should be prioritized. In case you haven’t been following…
Zoning Codes + RECIPE: Orecchiette with Kale Pesto, Sausage & White Beans
Have you ever noticed how pasta just solves everything? Like honestly, all the problems of the world, washed away for 10 minutes as you bite into that perfect starchy piece of pasta. If you are lucky there’s also cheese involved and a sauce with just enough garlic. Okay, maybe a little too much garlic. Because…
June Food Weekends + HOW TO: Have A Perfect Picnic
We did it! We made it over the hump that is spring’s non-stop chaos as CSA veggie farmers. We only had one or two emotional breakdowns. We only cried a handful of times. And we delivered our first CSA boxes will relative ease, though without fully functional brakes. Yup, that was terrifying. The brakes need…

We had a blast over in the beautiful driftless hills of Western Wisconsin! It was a weekend of celebrating for us Rudersdorfs. A 6 month anniversary and a…
