Eat. Drink. Live.
Greg we have dug 60,000 pounds — or 30 tons, if you like — of dirt out of our back yard. It’s all in our driveway at the moment. Once the pit was dug, we also realized that the ground in […]
A currant pudding, the recipe for which I found in this month’s issue of Martha Stewart Living. How fortuitous, considering we just harvested exactly six cups of currants! As you can probably tell from the name, it’s a German dish. […]
Well, she made it. I was surprised, but with only a little whimpering and a little rocking to sleep, Samantha made it through a supper of several courses of sushi. Yes, we sat down pretty early, but still! Tasha and […]
Well, it’s been tough to find time do a lot of baking. So this year, looks we’ll have just one sour cherry pie. And even that isn’t up to its usual standards. I’ve cheated and used puff pastry. The only […]

We had a lovely day to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Boo came up and we went for a long bike ride. Then we had some burgers at the Filing Station (yes, again) and watched a little tennis. Then Greg and […]
For our first picnic and concert of the 2012 season, Samantha fared very well indeed. It helps that other people love to take care of her. Thanks Kris! The menu was simple: chicken (Tom’s was excellent so we didn’t even […]
It looks like the sky is on fire at the farm right now. Too bad about those electrical wires. Though I guess Hopper wouldn’t have said so. Related posts: ‘Edward Hopper, Prelude: The Nyack Years’ and ‘Hopper Happens’ The Farm’s […]
My version of the terrific egg burrito at Mimi’s Plate in Tappan. It’s made with eggs, avocado, cheddar and salsa. Related posts: Cooking for One: Saturday Night Supper Cooking for One: Salad With Chopped Pork and Snap Peas Breakfast at […]
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 […]

Framing is coming along. This is starting to take a long time, though. Right, Sam? Related posts: Patio Update Patio Update Patio Update Patio Update
The best burgers ever. Sam, unfortunately, didn’t like her avocado quite as much. But Irene gave it the college try. We stuck with burgers. We’re so lucky to have this place. Related posts: Outside at The Filling Station New Year’s […]
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 […]
Another winner of a recipe from Mindy Fox’s Salads: Beyond the Bowl book. I’m taking a little bit of liberty with this recipe, however, because I cook eggs differently than Mindy does. She prefers to prick a hole in the […]
A big rainstorm shows us where our pitch is at the moment. Hmmm. Related posts: Patio Update Patio Update Patio Update The Patio Work Begins
A new kind of farmers market loot. Sam as shopping cart: Related posts: Shopping at the Pleasantville Farmers Market Farmers Market Loot Bee Class and the Farmers Market at Stone Barns Farmers on Main Street Market, Wednsdays in Chattanooga
Sam’s taken to flopping her clothes around whilst on her changing table. It’s pretty cute. Here’s another changing table one. No flopping this time, though: Related posts: Samantha Coos and Smiles Sam in Her Bumbo Seat
It’s clean-out-the-fridge leftovers night at Sour Cherry Farm. We’ve got chicken, radishes, leftover potato salad, greens and more. Help yourself to the fixin’s bar, folks! Related posts: Sunday Supper with Grandmom and the Ranchers: Burgers, Wedge and Corn Salad Recipe: […]
Update on the patio. Most of the pit is dug out. Greg is starting to lay the leveling frame in the pit. Related posts: Patio Update Patio Update Sour Cherry Farm Builds a Brick Patio Update on the Gardens: […]
A quick pre-theater supper on my own tonight: at the bar at Casellula near 9th Avenue. I’ve been before and loved it. This trip is no different. The asparagus dish is especially impressive. Its served with a hollandaise-y but more […]
I was a radio guest on The Joan Hamburg Show on Friday. Not because of my Sour Cherry Farm fame, though. Because of my Journal News fame. (I guess you can call it that?) Here’s Joan on the dais with […]
Srimp and Daddy go get 2-by-4s for the patio. Think she has a future career in homebuilding? Related posts: Samantha’s Plane Ride Home Bringing Sam Home to Sour Cherry Farm The Rockland Boulders Home Opener On the Train Ride […]
Leftover salads — both leafy and potato with snap peas — with chopped pork and eggs. Yum! Related posts: Potato and Snap Pea Salad with Garlic and Parsley Lemon Pesto Recipe: Chicken and Romaine Salad with Peas, Feta and Mint […]
Greg grills some terrific pork chops, we serve them with two great salads, and Samantha joins us at the table for the first time. Welcome, Sam! Related posts: Dinner from the Harvest at Sour Cherry Farm Christmas Dinner at the […]
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 […]
I have three words for you: Buy. This. Book. Mindy Fox’s new “Salads: Beyond the Bowl” (Kyle Books) is unlike any book you’ve seen before. You will love it. I promise. The salads are creative, fun, good for you and […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden my bike; I wasn’t allowed to when I was pregnant. And then it was winter. And I had a new baby. So it was lovely to have a maiden voyage Sunday down […]
Srimp loves to FaceTime with Gramma Weber, but as we can see from this video, we’re beginning to suspect it’s because Samantha likes to look at herself and crack up. Related posts: Doris, Sam; Sam, Meet Gramma A Party for […]
Carol and Roger hosted a lovely party to introduce Samantha to the family. No, not our Samantha! Scott’s Samantha! The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful, and the party couldn’t have been more lovely. Here’s Samantha with one of her […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
