So festive! And, the stockings hung on the mantle:
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.

Trimming the Tree
Hauling in our tree and getting it set up. Lewis is pooped. Got the lights on! Working it out.
To Emmerich Farm, for our Christmas Tree
For the third year, we have gone up to Warwick to cut down our own Christmas tree. It’s become a fun family tradition, and we enjoy having a tree that lasts all season without dropping too many needles. Here’s a […]
Christmas Tree is Up!
The 2018 Christmas tree, friends. No Radko ornaments this year. I couldn’t bring myself to bring up 5 boxes from the basement. I think it looks pretty good!
A Visit to See The Tree
On one of the coldest days of the season, the family loads into the truckster and heads to the city to see the tree. We are bundled up good! Making our way over to Rockefeller Center. The city is all […]
Enjoying the Tree
Cheers! Enhoy
The Tree is Up!
Somebody is pretty excited about decorating the tree. This year, we decided to move the wardrobe to get the tree farther away from the fireplace. Always a good move. The one that ended up on Instagram: And later, relaxing. […]
Cutting Down our Tree at Emmerich Tree Farm
For the first time, we have decided to cut down our own Christmas tree. One of the main reasons? We want to make sure we’re getting the freshest tree we can. Also, as you can see, it’s a fun outing, […]
Christmas Tree 2016!
I won’t bury the lede here: We, for the first time, set up the Christmas tree in a new location. Who said you can’t change tradition! One tradition did not change, though. We bought the tree at the local firehouse. […]
The Tree is Up
So beautiful. It’s so comforting to take out those ornaments and remember the friends and family we’ve shared them with over the years.
To Rockefeller Center, for The Tree
We kinda figured there wouldn’t be that many people up and about Rockefeller Center on New Year’s Day morning, so we hopped on the train and headed down for a look-see. A crisp, clear day: Samantha’s first train ride (that […]
Decorating the Tree
Stick with it, as she fumbles a bit trying to open the string wide enough to fit on the edge of a branch, then tries a couple of branches before she gets it. Then she says something that will melt […]
Get Your Holidays On!
We wasted no time transitioning from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Sunday after church, we headed straight to the firehouse to pick out our tree. Greg can pick them right away, every time! While Sam napped, I did the lights, and then […]
The Tree is Up at the Farm!
The 2013 edition of the Christmas Tree is another tabletop version. Samantha is just so grabby, we were worried it would come toppling down on top of her! Still a somewhat formidable size! And aftewards, a stop at the playground: […]
Name this Sake (and Bonus Christmas Carols!)
We finally opened a bottle of sake that Pete brought back for us from Japan about a gazillion years ago. I know, I know, sake is not supposed to age. But this didn’t seem any worse for the wear. It […]
Tabletop Christmas Tree 2012
Sour Cherry Farm’s tree took on a new look this year. We went with a tabletop Christmas tree. You know, with a crawling, curious toddler and all. It actually ends up being a lot easier to water, for one. And […]
BDoF: The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
For the first part of our BDoF — that is Big Day of Fun — this weekend, we attended the matinee of Million Dollar Quartet. (Thumbs up!) For the third and fourth part, were meeting Chris and Rory for dinner […]
