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…

Rainy Day Fun + RECIPE: Baby Hasselback Potatoes with Fry Sauce
How are all you Wisconsin friends feeling about this non-stop rain during what is supposed to be everyone’s favorite apple orchard visiting, cider donut eating, fall leave viewing time of the year? I know, I know. Me too. It’s dreary and gray and so damn inconsiderate of the weather to continue being this wet during…
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….
Easter Cheese Board + RECIPE: Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs
Easter is such a tricky time of year for us. We treasure time with family and love any reason to get together but late March and early April is so weird for us farmers.
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…
Cabbage Love + RECIPE: Cabbage & Snow Pea Rice Bowl with Warm Coconut Peanut Sauce
We’re almost caught up my friends. Almost through the whirlwind of activity that is May and June on the farm. We’ve planted 11 whole fields (each about 700 square feet), made it through three weeks of the CSA (seriously how has that already happened?!), and thrown a farm party for new friends. We’ve fixed a…
Dinner on the Farm + RECIPE: Spaghetti Squash Fritters with Leek & Jalapeno
Farm walks. Cider. Blue skies with big fluffy clouds. Cool breezes. Pretty little strings of lights. Candles. Really any kind of mood lighting on a cool soon-to-be-fall night. Pumpkin. Squash. Brown butter. BBQ. Food that turns into more than food; food that turns into art, education, and conversation on the plate. Elegant mismatched china. The…
Famous Dave’s + RECIPE: Twice-Baked Potatoes with Yogurt & Cilantro Pesto
Six years and seven months ago my Carrot and I met working alongside each other at the Famous Dave’s restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin. I don’t think I’ve ever disclosed to you how my Carrot and I met. I’m not sure why. Probably because for some reason or other, I find it disgraceful that this farming…
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…
