What I’ve Learned about Building an Airbnb
I’ve learned a ton this past year about building an Airbnb, all valuable lessons that I know I will draw upon for future projects! Is there more to do? Absolutely but that too is part of the process… Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither is an Airbnb!
Tomato, Pesto and Feta Cheese Salad
As we are nearing the end of the growing season, my heirloom tomatoes are finally taking off and, albeit late, I’m starting to get a bumper crop! For this recipe I’ve used the Orange Accordion (seen photo), Black Beauty as well as Black Strawberry. I should also add that this is a Palisade Posh original recipe!
Linguine with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce and Roasted Pumpkin
With our fall squash and cooking pumpkins being harvested, I’ve been experimenting with our produce and trying to come up with new recipes.

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!

How to Freeze Okra
One of my favorite soups to make is Gumbo. With its subtle hint of spiciness combined with chicken, kielbasa, and shrimp over rice and a slice of crusty artisan bread with a velvety Merlot it’s the perfect cold weather dish!
Plein Air Painting on the Farm
As part of my “Fifty Shades of Green” series, I’ve started painting on location around the property.

Reflection on Starting a Market Garden
These are my reflections on what I’ve learned and what I can do better next year. I’m confident I will be adding to this as summer moves into fall and more vegetables are ready for harvesting!
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! Either way you support our local farming community and that is always a good thing!
Fifty Shades of Green
As I’ve never been one to shy away from a challenge, I’m determined to see, understand, and master the color green!
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 ….
