I first made this recipe — which comes from the Williams Sonoma catalog — many years ago, and, to the delight of my guests, it was a huge hit. This time is no different. It’s a great inexpensive one-pot dish […]
What to do with an impressive pear harvest? Well, pear sauce, for sure (that recipe is coming), and some kind of dessert. Right? Right. Pear upside down cake it is, then. I liked this recipe from Food & Wine’s Thanksgiving […]
It’s been a very good year for our Anjou pear tree. We’ve been picking pears and eating them out of hand nearly every day since mid-September. Today, we’re taking a bunch of pears that fell off a little unripe, but […]

While Hunna was grilling the pizza, I took a little garden tour to check in with the crops at the farm. Our newest pear tree, a Barlett, is doing nicely. Some pretty coneflowers, too: It’s been such […]

I have found a gold standard for crisps: a nutty, dark topping with plenty of oats and nuts, and a snappy, bright filling with lemon and ginger. I just love the contrasts of both tastes — high notes of lemon […]
We finally got a harvest from our Anjou pear tree. We planted it at least four years — four years! maybe five! — ago. How exciting! Related posts: A Tree Comes Down in Nyack The Sour Cherry Harvest Sunday at […]
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, […]
