For the past three weeks I feel like my diet has essentially consisted of five ingredients– tomatoes, cheese, sweet corn, melons and simple carbohydrates. Occasionally I throw in some butter, an egg, a cucumber, an apple, some hummus, but generally I just repeat the same five or six delicious flavors in slightly different ways. Tomato…

Crock Pot Sweet Potato & Butternut Chili
Hello and happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! By now your tables have probably all been set, your turkeys carved, and your pies devoured. Family has come and gone, and hopefully you all had a stellar holiday filled with all the good stuff: good food, good wine, people you love, football, cozy sweaters, and so much gratitude….
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….
Batch Cooking + RECIPE: Apple & Pear Baked Maple Oatmeal
I am all about the batch cooking and simple eating these days. I feel like I’ve done a total 180 from the start of my cooking career when I considered a great night one where I spent three hours in my kitchen making pretzels from scratch or some other all-consuming process. It’s not that I…
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…
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…
Cooking From the Pantry + RECIPE: Vegan Sweet Potato & Lentil Burgers
Spring is such a strange time of year as far as my kitchen is concerned. We may be transplanting vegetable seedlings up a storm and playing in the dirt almost daily, but it’s still too early for our farm to actually have anything for us to eat. Honestly, it’s kind of a tease. We spend our…
All Whisked Up Take 2 + RECIPE: Vegan Chia Seed Donuts
Remember way back in October when I participated in Wisconsin Whisk‘s first ever recipe swap?! I met Sarah from Food, Fun & Life in Waukesha. I explored her blog for weeks then whipped up her fantastic recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. Well we’re doing it again and this month, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Tara…
Relaxation Weekend + RECIPE: Garlicky Runner Beans with Fennel
As a CSA veggie farmer, it is rare that we get a whole weekend to relax and enjoy. (Don’t feel too bad for us, we spend many a winter weekend in front of the wood stove. Relaxation is a seasonal commodity for us farmin’ types). This weekend though. Ah. It was a beaut. Complete with…
4th of July Weekend + RECIPE: Beet, Pea & Avocado Salad
Carrot parents took us to the Cave of the Mounds in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin this long holiday weekend. Caves are so cool. And kind of weird. And geological. And slippery. Then we spent a day floating. And exploring sandbars. And paddling some more. It was absolutely joyous and filled with so much sunshine. As every…
