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…

Zucchini Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Corn Salsa
The first of our tomatoes are popping, we just harvested sweet corn for our CSA members, and the melons are ripening so fast we need to test them biweekly. Peak summer produce is on the horizon and we’re beginning to eat vegetables (or at the very least tomatoes!!) every meal of the day. It seems…
Zucchini Pie
Well, we are into July and officially going through the “farming is hard” phase of summer and if I’m being honest, I’m totally and completely grumpy about it. For some naive reason, I thought (for the eighth time in eight years) we had it all together and would sail through this particular summer without any…
Zucchini & Greens Pancakes

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…
New Job! + RECIPE: Summer Vegetarian Cobbler
I got a new job! Well sort of. It’s not like I’m changing any of my current jobs, I just added one more thing to the mix which makes me very, very happy (most days) and makes my husband think I’m even crazier than he already knew I was. Once a week I’ve been developing two…
