Every year we make a few adjustments to our CSA plan to try and align it more and more with what we think the best mix of produce is for our CSA members. This year we decided that meant way more sweet corn than in years past. We planted two massive plantings (of 11 beds…

Date Nights + RECIPE: Perfect Pizza Pie
Three months back my quiet, selfless, fiercely independent husband made a request. And let me just begin by saying this guy never makes requests. His is a soul that lives to serve and lift up others. But on this particular day, kindly and gently, he asked if perhaps we could reinstate our routine of weekly…
Out of the Fields + RECIPE: BBQ Brisket Pizza with Coleslaw
Every day we inch a little bit closer to the end. The field work is hours away from being completed and we’re almost ready to move into one of my favorite phases of farm life: the strategic phase. Pretty soon I’ll be running reports, crunching numbers, throwing together spreadsheets and having long conversations with my…
#whiskonthefarm + RECIPE: Tomato, Fennel & Pesto Grilled Pizza
Last weekend was an absolute frenzy at the farm. We hosted 150 people over three very full days plus an astounding number of journalists and photographers fascinated by the story of Soil Sisters. I’m not totally sure that I’ve recovered. Despite my rambling social butterfly ways, I’m really about 50% extrovert and 50% introvert, needing…
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…
CSA Member Good-Byes + RECIPE: BBQ Butternut Squash & Pulled Pork Pizza
We said goodbye to our CSA members last Wednesday. After 20 weeks together, it’s always bittersweet when we bring things to a close. Filled with unknowns and excitement, our relationship with our CSA members begins anew each spring. Mutual admiration grows throughout the season as we get to know one another better. By the end,…
Musings on Moving + RECIPE: Summer Squash, Fennel & Pesto Pizza with Zucchini Crust
Going into July 1st I was really, truly (I’ll even go so far as to say extremely) enthusiastic about the idea of moving all my and my Carrot’s worldly belongings from one dwelling to another. I was also over the moon about home ownership, but the dominant pang of excitement since late April was over…
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…
RECIPE: Squash Blossom Garlic Scape Pizza
The farm season is in full swing and the eatin’ is good. I try to take something home from the field every night and sometimes it really starts to pile up in the fridges (yes fridges), but hey, I’m not complaining. Every meal is a new adventure. It’s a constant race to try and cook…
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…
