Thankful + RECIPE: Homemade Green Bean Casserole with Shallots
We made it guys. We planted 3+ acres of vegetables. We packed 150 CSA boxes of produce every week to feed 200+ families for five months. We employed people. We hosted so many farm parties. We went to Hawaii. We came back. We planted garlic, raced to get things out of the field before the…

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….
Hard Questions + RECIPE: Cheesy Butternut Squash & Caramelized Shallot Biscuits
