Mable and Jack Farmstead

Directions Website

Mable and Jack Farmstead Mable and Jack Farmstead sits on 22 acres located 30 minutes north of Huntsville just across the Tennessee state line.

The land has been in our family since 1917 and in 2022 we officially named the farm after a mare named Mable and a mule named Jack. We're a 22-acre family farm just above the Alabama state line. Follow our journey as we regenerate the land, one project at a time!

Recreated my favorite burger at home! Pasture-raised Grey and Bash pork patty, 4G Farms napa cabbage and sligofarmtn apple slaw, Grey & Bash cowboy candy, spicy aioli with shortcreekhomestead eggs on a Swiss Pantry bun. Paired with Sligo Farm sweet potato fries and some fridge pickles.

Absolutely stunning weather for this porch lunch for our first sweater weather day of the season!!

Almost all of our ingredients are sourced from Shop Local Food | Huntsville Food & Farm Hub and soon you’ll be able to buy Swiss Pantry in the Hub as well.

Our weeknight cooking tends to be simple, minimal, and delicious. But the weekends? That’s when Chris takes his time and our Saturday and Sunday suppers are evidence of that hard work (and love).

He truly loves cooking for us and somehow six years later he’s still blowing me away with new and unique dishes. Tonight’s was no exception. For a New Yorker he always shocks me with his ability to turn Southern ingredients into something truly magical and tonight that ingredient was muscadines. He turned them into a decadent sauce that may be his best yet.

Tomorrow is Sunday supper and we already have an Apple tart planned with sligofarmtn Jonagold apples.

Local ingredients: Triple C Farm pork chops sourced Bailey Cove Farmer's Market, 4G Farms Asian greens and Henry’s Family Farm, LLC muscadines sourced from Shop Local Food | Huntsville Food & Farm Hub

Our feed is basically just local food and dried flowers and frankly? We’re not mad about it. We got the farm abundance box from 4G Farms this week which had a lot of two of our favorite things: basil and eggplant.

Chris processed all the basil into pesto that’s now in the freezer. Likely enough to last the rest of the year which will be a welcome treat as the cooler months set in.

Then tonight for dinner we had one of our favorites: pasta à la Norma, a spicy eggplant pasta. Did I mention we also bought a load of San Marzano tomatoes from 4G to process for sauce?

We didn’t grow enough this year to process and put up so we’re excited to supplement from one of our favorite produce farms.

We feel so fortunate to now have relationships with so many farms whose products turn into nourishing meals for our table.

I first fell in love with flowers during college working in a floral studio. I saw the way they moved people and the impact of that gesture.

However, I never much cared for the maintenance of fresh flowers or their ephemeral nature. I honestly can’t quite remember how I stumbled into the world of dried flowers, but it’s captivated me.

Beyond never needing to be watered, trimmed, or thrown out after two weeks, dried flowers also capture a moment in time from my garden. Their warmth now fills every room in our house and while just one detail, it can completely transform a room.

The joy of flowers is always around and now I want to share that joy with you. My first collection of dried flowers is now available to fill your spaces with this same beauty and joy.

All flowers were grown chemical-free here at Mable and Jack Farmstead or by other local flower farms, harvested during the growing season, and dried in my studio before being designed into one of a kind pieces. I scour our local antique stores and estate sales for unique vessles so these pieces truly become part of your space.

All pieces can be purchased via the link in our profile and picked up at Southern Kitchen and Home | Curated Goods and Gifts on Tuesdays. If you are in the middle Tennessee area, DM me and we can coordinate a pickup. As of right now, I don’t have plans to ship these pieces as they are very delicate.

I’m thrilled to finally share a small piece of my garden with you to enjoy for months and years to come.

Another special dried flower creation for my dear friend Lara who celebrated one year of The Sparrow Social Society-A Mahjong Club last night at the most beautiful space.

I tucked a little sparrow into a bed of peony, mountain mint, strawflower, moss, celosia, clover, and rose. A beautiful, bright, lush arrangement for a precious friend and the beautiful community she has built.

The Cedar Hill Apothecary quilt square in flower form. I wanted to push myself and explore something new and see if I could translate a logo with flowers. Hand placed yellow yarrow from our farm. Amaranth, mountain mint, strawflower, and other flowers from our Shop Local Food | Huntsville Food & Farm Hub flower farms. Designed as a gift for the Cedar Hill Apothecary 3rd anniversary.

I’m pretty thrilled with the results! It’s mounted on a sturdy canvas so it can be hung easily. Who wants their logo turned into flower art? I’m already itching to do another one!

In the kitchen with Chris: Today we’re talking about how to properly prep a steak for the grill.

We are fortunate to have access to great beef options through the Huntsville Food Hub and today we’re grilling up a t-bone from Rapid River. This has become a favorite cut for us. Callie will have the filet and I’ll have the strip. It ends up being the perfect portion for two people.

The key to a great steak is prepping it the day before. I like these quarter sheet pans from Great Jones with tin foil and a rack. These pans have held up so well over the years and don’t take up too much room in the fridge.

By doing this prep and a nice hot grill, you’re in for a delicious steak every time. We enjoyed this steak as the final dish for our Ferragosto feast.

If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend in Huntsville, I am very excited to be launching our dried flower bar at the Food Hub at the Girls' Day Out event for Southern Kitchen and Home. I'll be there alongside 𝔾𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔾𝕚𝕣𝕝 𝔹𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕤™️ | 𝔸𝕞𝕪 𝔹𝕠𝕪𝕝𝕖 and LOVE SOMEBODY HAT BAR. You'll be able to shop Southern Kitchen and Home, which is a store filled with goods from small regional makers across the South. I'll be making things on site and also have a selection of curated arrangements and bouquets that I have made from my cottage garden collection, and I cannot wait to share those with you.

All of the flowers that I work with are locally sourced, grown on our farm or sourced from the Hub and naturally dried. These arrangements are not just beautiful, but they're sustainable and last for many, many months compared to fresh flowers. I am so excited to share them with you and cannot wait to see you tomorrow at Southern Kitchen and Home.
