Results: Homemade garlic powder, attempt #1

No more store-bought garlic powder for us!

This was such a fun, easy project.

Here’s what I did…

1) Peel and slice garlic cloves

2) Spread out in an even layer and dehydrate (OUTDOORS in my handy super basic Snackmaster Jr. dehydrator so the garlic wouldn’t stink up the house 😷)

3) Grind in the coffee grinder, funnel into a jar… Boom, done! ✅

The only thing I’d change? Slicing my garlic way thinner so it would dehydrate faster and be easier on my coffee grinder.

The taste? Much stronger than what I’ve bought at the store. Fresh spices always are!

Come on out, the weather’s fine. 😎 Decorah Farmers Market

Something you might not know about me is that I spend a fair bit of my time each month mentoring and talking to beginning farmers.

I took today off from the farm to speak at a beginning farmer event in Cedar Rapids by Practical Farmers of Iowa ... even though the field was full of beans waiting to be picked, tomatoes in need of trellising, and weeds growing a little taller while I was out.

Why?

Because I don’t just farm so I can live a certain lifestyle.

I do it because I really believe that rebuilding our local food systems can change the world.

It’s been said before (and it’s true) that sustainable farming isn’t really sustainable until it’s sustainable for farmers.

There’s still so much work to be done on this.

I don’t know what the answer is, but I know farmers and people sharing knowledge and talking to each other about what’s working is the first step.

Big shout out to everyone who has ever taught Ethan and I lessons in farming (big or small). And if you’re a beginning farmer, DM us—don’t be a stranger.

The first time Ethan and I joined a CSA, I remember bringing home our box and immediately Googling “what to do with bok choy” and “how to freeze rhubarb.”

It was week ONE and I was already thinking...

What did we get ourselves into??? 😂

But over time, something changed.

We started discovering what vegetables could actually taste like.

Tomatoes were big, rich, and meaty. Parsley wasn’t just a green garnish anymore. We started trying new things, getting creative with whatever was in the fridge, and actually looking forward to cooking dinner.

Somewhere along the way, local food changed the way we experienced food altogether.

And 5 years ago, that feeling became a big part of why we started Sweet Season Farm.

We want more people to have that little push to try something new, discover a new favorite, and make really good food with the people they love.

So if your dinners could use a little shake-up this August, we just launched something new. 🌱

🆕 Our **Subscribe & Save** option gives you a rotating mix of 5-7 types of certified organic vegetables every week, picked at the peak of the season.

Think tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, carrots, broccolini and whatever else is especially good that week.

SWAP out veggies you don’t want, skip a week when you’re gone, or cancel anytime.

It’s a little nudge to cook with more fresh vegetables, try something you might not have picked out yourself, and see what takes shape in the pan. ✨

We’ll take care of choosing what’s good. You get to have fun with it.

We interrupt our usual easy recipes for the one that wrecked our kitchen on a Thursday, including calling for not one but two colanders.

(But it was totally worth it)

We’ve had this recipe marked in our Plenty More by Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook for over a year, stubbornly waiting for all the ingredients to be ready at the farm at the same time.

🥔🍆🍅 Potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, and parsley were all calling our names today and we made it happen.
