Boy oh boy has it ever been gloomy here in my beautiful home state of Wisconsin. Honestly, since we returned home from Maui a little over a month ago I would guess that 95% of my waking hours have been under cloudy skies and it seems like pretty much everyone in my life is handling…

The Great River Road + RECIPE: Leek & Pepper Pretzel Dip
I love discovering new parts of Wisconsin. I think our little part of the world is so endlessly beautiful. So lush and magical, with winding roads that swing through hills and valleys. So picturesque and varied, with historic towns, tribal lands, and shimmering lakes around every corner. So agrarian and rustic, with sprawling farm land, humble…
Our Rhubarb Patch + RECIPE: Brussels Sprouts with Harissa & Pickled Shallots
I spent most of my day Thursday in the dirt and god damn did it feel good. My leg muscles are burning. My nails have soil lodged under them. My wedding ring is a little less shiny than it was before and there is the tiniest bit of color and life back in my cheeks….
New Orleans + RECIPE: Hummus with Curried Cauliflower
A lot has happened in the past week. If you’ve been following along on Instagram you’ll know we bought a tractor, got a new farm logo, presented to a group of Soil Sisters about the effectiveness of Instagram in storytelling, and created a whole meal inspired by my lunch with my momma at Shaya in…
Mexico City + RECIPE: Super Simple Street Tacos
Two months ago I took the most beautiful, freeing, serendipitous, dreamy adventure I had been on in nearly a decade. On a whim (or rather on a flight deals website), my old college travel bestie Michele and I booked a vacation together after my farming season was mostly wrapped up. The entire trip budget: $700….
Farm Brunch + RECIPE: Homemade Bloody Mary Bar
I’m finally back and settled from a heavenly five days in D.C. (don’t worry I’ll tell you about all the food later) which was immediately followed by two big events (one on our farm, the other on an incredibly fabulous permaculture operation nearby) and preceded by a trip to the Northwoods and a trip to…
Three Day Parties + Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream Sandwiches
The jury is still out on whether or not catapulting ourselves into hosting a three day party after six weeks straight of long days in the fields will be repeated or not. We went to bed after midnight for three nights in a row last weekend which is just not a thing us farmers are…
Best. Weekend. Ever. + RECIPE: Build-Your-Own Pizza Pudgie Pies
Let’s talk about things that I love. Like pudgie pies. Pudgie pies are high on the list of things that I love. Especially if they are of the build your own variety. (I mean what build-your-own situation do I not go crazy for? See exhibits A, B and C). Pudgie pies are right up there with long…
Greenhouse Season + RECIPE: Deep Dish Pizza with Cilantro Pesto, Brussels Sprouts & Bacon
You guys!? We start growing things indoors in the greenhouse in a week! This is always such an exciting/frantic time of the year for us. The skies are all gray and the ground is so muddy and even though temps are sporadically jumping above 50 from time to time, we all know the real spring…
Saturday Ladies’ Day + RECIPE: Build your own flatbread bar!!!!
Have you ever had a weekend that’s just so utterly perfect and soul quenching? A weekend filled with so much love, you can hardly stand it? Well that was my weekend. Hours lounging on the couch with my Carrot. A beautiful, Pinterest-worthy bridal shower for a woman who deserves nothing short of perfection. A 20-hour whirlwind…
