🌱 Fennel is coming to the farm stand!
I love to cook and dream about what I’m going to make next… which can be very dangerous when I’m planning the fields and flipping through seed catalogs! 😂
So, I’ll let you in on a little secret — we have LOTS of fennel coming to the farm stand this Saturday, and it will be ON SALE! 🎉 I really hope you’ll give it a try.
Fennel is part of the carrot family and has a sweet, slightly licorice-like flavor. The bulb is delicious raw in salads, roasted, braised or sautéed, and those beautiful fronds make a wonderful fresh herb or garnish.
It’s also packed with fiber, vitamin C and potassium, making this flavorful veggie a pretty healthy addition to your table. 💚
And if you’re wondering what to do with it… just ask me! I’m already dreaming up what I’m going to make. 😉
Come get some Saturday — fennel sale + cooking inspiration = a very good thing! 🌱💚

Ground Cherry Madness! 😂🍍
A customer asked me to grow ground cherries…well, now I have a gazillion! 🤣 Okay, maybe not quite that many, but there are A LOT!
So, guess what? Ground cherries will be on sale this coming weekend! 🎉
These little golden-orange fruits grow inside adorable papery husks and are related to tomatoes and tomatillos. They have a sweet-tart, tropical flavor—think pineapple, vanilla, and a little tomato all rolled into one.
They’re delicious eaten straight from the husk, but they’re also fantastic in pies, crisps, jams, or savory salsas.
Come get ’em while I still have a gazillion! 😂💛

Leeks! 🌱💚
This year I decided to grow a few new things, and as a chef who loves to cook, leeks seemed like a natural fit. And WOW…did we have a great harvest! 🙌
Leeks are part of the Allium family, right alongside onions and garlic. They’re milder, sweeter and more buttery than onions—and SO delicious and versatile!
🥔 Potato-leek soup
🍳 Quiche
🍚 Risotto
🍝 Creamy pasta
🥘 Braised as a simple side
Quick cleaning tip: Leeks can hide dirt and sand between their layers. Trim, slice, then give them a good swirl in a cold water bath. Lift them out and leave the grit behind!
And don’t toss those green tops—they’re fantastic for flavoring homemade stock. 🌱
I’m pretty darn excited about these beauties! Another new farm crop that has made its way straight into my kitchen.🥰
Leeks will be on sale( $1 each)  at the farm stand this weekend! Come grab some and have a little fun cooking with them! 💚

🌱 The Artichoke Experiment… and My Very Expensive 4 Artichokes 🤣
I have loved artichokes for as long as I can remember. My favorite way to eat them? Simply steamed with good butter. There is something so beautiful and fascinating about an artichoke—it’s actually the edible flower bud of a plant in the thistle family. Left on the plant, that bud eventually opens into a gorgeous blue-violet flower.
As a farmer, I’m always learning, experimenting and, occasionally, getting humbled. 😂
This picture represents my entire artichoke harvest. That’s right… 4 baby artichokes from 60 plants. 🤦‍♀️
Now, if you had talked to me 10 years ago, I probably would have said, “I suck at this. Complete failure.” But today I see it differently.
I grew 60 beautiful, healthy artichoke plants from seed starting in January. That alone is something to be proud of. Unfortunately, they got heat stressed and never produced the bounty I was so excited about.
So yes, these may be the most expensive four artichokes ever grown—considering the time, energy, field space, effort… and let’s not forget the mental anguish of trying to figure out what I did wrong. 🤣
Am I disappointed? Absolutely. I was REALLY looking forward to those artichokes.
But am I giving up? Absolutely not.
I’ll do my research, figure out what happened, change my approach, try some new varieties and give it another shot.
That’s farming. You learn, you adapt, you try again.
And someday, I’m going to have one heck of an artichoke harvest. 💚🌱

Have you ever had one of those weeks where the days fly by, every single day is maxed to the fullest, and you desperately need a few more days in the week… and a few more hours in each day? 🤣
