We’ve decided to take down the blackberries that we so dutifully planted three springs ago. They’re just too darn onery. And a lot of work. Blueberries, on the other hand, are a lot less work: prune them in the spring and harvest them in the summer. Done. That about suits… Read More →
Irene was just going to have a couple of friends over. Turns out Irene has a lot of friends, including a couple of new ones, Katie and Mario and their little baby Gigi. Kevin and Irene get our delishy supper ready. More food and more babies, after the jump. Related… Read More →
The bushes in the front fields are starting to bear fruit. Look at this haul! We ate them on cereal, by the handful and in a terrific salad by, yes, you guessed it: Mindy Fox. Blueberries, feta and mint with olive oil and black pepper. We took it over to… Read More →
Normally we don’t go for vodka drinks around here anymore. (We’re into amaro lately.) But this drink, which we found originally in Bon Appetit, looked so refreshing (and seasonal!) that I couldn’t pass it up. When I went to pour my St. Germain elderflower liqueur into the pitcher, however, it… Read More →
Thanks to a warm spring, we’re about a week ahead on the crops this year. And the Pink Jasmine, which SCF fans may remember from such posts as “Welcome to the Farm, Lingonberries and Currants,” has never looked better. And the blueberries, too! More, after the jump.

Oh, if only I’d made a note of what recipe I’d used for these blueberry pancakes. Or maybe I combined a couple of different recipes? If so: Oh, if only I’d written down what I’d done to make these blueberry pancakes. Here I sit, months later, life having gotten in… Read More →
Irene had a chicken and some scapes from Stone Barns. We had coleslaw and leftover potatoes for roasting. Sounds like the making for a good supper? It was indeed. Related posts: Summer Supper and the Perseid Meteor Shower Farm and Fowl; Supper in the Garden Summer Supper in the Orchard… Read More →
The peas and the onions are ready for harvest. More photos of the gardens, including our bees on our lavender (!), after the jump.

The blueberries are in! The blueberries are in! We got about two or three quarts from the first harvest, I’d say. Here’s a look. Related posts: Dinner from the Harvest at Sour Cherry Farm The Sour Cherry Harvest Sour Cherry Farm Strawberries! Welcome to the New Sour Cherry Farm
The plants got a late start this year, but the garden seems to be perking up quite a bit now that Memorial Day weekend is here. Here’s a look around, starting with the chives in the herb garden: Related posts: Garden Update: Coneflowers, Cosmos, Blackberries and Butterfly Bushes Update on… Read More →
A lovely quick supper. Dress your spinach with blueberry vinaigrette (or balsamic if you don’t have a blueberry vinegar), throw in a few blueberries and top it with seared scallops. You’re out of the kitchen and eating a delicious, healthy supper in about 5 minutes. Related posts: Supper: Jalapeno Shrimp,… Read More →
On Sunday morning after Christmas, we went to a yoga class, and were planning to set a record by going to the lake four days in a row. But the snow started falling. And it wouldn’t stop for 24 hours. Just before the big storm, I headed outside and snapped… Read More →
Here’s our occasional update on the progress in the fields at Sour Cherry Farm. The early summer harvest is slowing down, and we’re getting more flowers and ornamentals as we wait for late summer tomatoes and fall crops like figs, apples and pears. Here’s a look at what’s going on…. Read More →
The first blueberry cobbler I did this summer was completely made from our own blueberries. Of course that one was the best; not even the farmers market berries taste as good as ones you grow yourself. But this recipe is so good you could use storebought berries and it would… Read More →
