First Farm to Table Dinner
This was the first of what I hope to be many more Farm to Table dinners we host here on the farm!
Good Green Olives with Almonds, Honey & Rosemary
This recipe was the first one I tried out from Erin French’s cookbook Big Heart Little Stove: Bring Home Meals & Moments from The Lost Kitchen. It has not disappointed and proved to be a big crowd pleaser when I’m hosting guests or just creating a little ‘nibble’ board for Andy and myself.
An adaptation of Erin French’s A Salad of Leaves & Blooms
Erin French's culinary journey is both an inspiration and an affirmation that tenacity as a character trait is a good thing!

Posh Market Garden is Open for Business
I feel fortunate to be able to partner with Blaine’s Farm Store. So, if you live in Palisade and you want to purchase some fresh produce from the Posh Market Garden visit Blaine’s… Or reach out to me and buy directly from your friendly neighborhood farmer!

Building a Bocce Ball Court
Andy and I played our first game two nights ago. He was beating me the whole game until at the very end I had a couple of exceptional shots and pulled ahead and won the game! I was a gracious winner and only danced a little ….

Little events like these are reminders of how wonderful life is and how much there is to appreciate in the world.
