🐷 We’re officially on tentative piglet watch! 🐷

Specifically, we’re keeping a close eye on our oldest gilt—the red girl in the front of this photo.

Bowser has spent the summer out with his ladies, enjoying the sunshine, fresh pasture, and, hopefully, doing his job rather than simply taking advantage of the produce seconds and spent grain. 😂

Fingers crossed, we’ll start seeing some piglets arriving in the next few months, with many of the other girls hopefully following with litters this winter and into early spring.

It will certainly make for another busy season around the farm, but we’re pretty excited about the possibility of having piglets back at Danu Hof. There’s just something about seeing those little ones running around the farm that makes all the work worth it. ❤️🐖

Stay tuned…we may have some exciting farm news to share before too long!

Always amazing breakfasts from the Applesauce Inn.

Sunday morning at the Inn 😋

Crustless Quiche Lorraine… creamy, savory & filled with all the good stuff, alongside homemade tater tots and maple sausage.

A little comfort food, a little farmhouse goodness, and a whole lot of love on the breakfast table.

This is how we do breakfast at the Applesauce Inn.

Farmers market dinner 🍽️

One of our favorite things about farmers market season is bringing a little bit of the market home and figuring out what dinner is going to become.

Tonight’s plate: our breaded cutlets topped with a creamy chanterelle mushroom sauce made with quark cheese from Charlevoix Cheese Company, along with a mix of fresh vegetables from the garden.

Simple, local ingredients turned into one seriously delicious dinner. 😍

What are you cooking with your farmers market finds this week? We’d love to hear what’s making its way into your kitchen! 🌱🥕🥩

In a world where food recalls seem to be an all-too-common part of the news, food safety matters to us. 🌱

Small farms like ours have the opportunity to voluntarily participate in programs like Produce Safety—and we choose to do it.

Today we completed our Produce Safety recertification, renewing our commitment to the practices that help keep the food we grow safe from the field to your table.

Produce safety isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about understanding where risks can occur, continually evaluating our practices, keeping good records, maintaining clean equipment and water sources.

We believe that transparency, education, and continually improving what we do are important parts of being good stewards of the land and the food we provide to our community.

We’re proud to keep learning, keep improving, and keep growing food we feel good about putting on your table.

🌱 Nourishing families, sustaining the land.

Another early and busy day on the farm! ☀️🐓

We’re processing chickens again today, and one thing we’ve really come to enjoy is being hands-on through the entire process.

Coming from our backgrounds as chefs, we care about what happens all the way through to the final cut and preparation. It gives us the opportunity to make sure every chicken is handled carefully and the finished product is something we’re proud to put on your table.

It’s a long day, but there’s something pretty satisfying about seeing the whole process from pasture to freezer. ❤️

We still have a few chickens available from our upcoming processing dates, so if you’ve been thinking about stocking your freezer, now is a great time to reach out!
