This week we have been harvesting loads of beets, Swiss chard and tomatoes. We quick pickled most of it for easy go to dinner and lunch additions. Quick pickles are a fun and simple recipe. We store ours in the fridge after the lids settle. I love all the bright colors and crisp flavors. Outside […]

This Week on the Farm…July 15
We have had a busy but frustrating week. The bunnies have done a fair share of damage to the garden. Gone are the Brussels, bush beans and peas. We replanted. We added more dirt because the compost (despite being the best grade organic and local) wasn’t cutting it. We weeded. We weeded. And we weeded […]
This Week on the Farm…July 9
Our house has a lot of history. I often think of all the people that have walked its floors, farmed its land and dreamed out its wavy glass windows. This past week the doorbell rang and on my porch stood a man with a story. Back in the area for a visit with his family, […]
This Week on the Farm…July 1

Wednesday Want…Union Jack Merino Lambswool Throw
If you’ve spent any time in the UK, you will have fond memories of lambs roaming in green fields surrounded by rambling stone walls.

Wednesday Want…Rialto Glasses
Inspired by a trip to Italy’s floating city, Sir | Madam designed the most gorgeous glasses with a nostalgic nod to the architecture of the city. We love the tulip glass for water or wine but they also work well for a lovely ice cream sundae. They are elegant and look like you’d only use […]
