There’s always one, isn’t there? A big storm hit the farm this March. It was a school and work days, so you know what that means. And also a nice brekky. Going back to help out the bees. And a walk […]

We woke up to a winter wonderland! First snow of the season! Snow angels were a requirement, naturally. Winter at the farm. One last holdout from the garden: Down by Charlie’s house, evergreens! And then a fire and some […]
We haven’t had too much snow this year — save for the big one a few weeks ago — so this dusting was actually sort of pleasant. The birds are happy to find the suet in the pear tree, that’s […]
Soup. Brisket. Spice cake. A great menu for a cold night by the fire. And while the wind whipped and the snow fell, we were cozy inside by the fire with great friends. Under all that goodness is the brisket: […]
Good morning! A blanket of snow has covered Sour Cherry Farm, but it’s bright and sunny outside, so Sam is ready to play! This says 10 inches, but I think we got more. It was hard for me to hold […]
Well, it finally came. This warm, snow-less winter came to a screeching halt Saturday morning. Luckily, we were prepared, and had Joan Nathan’s Brisket recipe at our fingertips. And a new (used) snowblower in the garage: The snow settled in […]

Here is what we’re doing in the garden this month (and last, too). We used the cut branches from our Christmas tree to mulch acid-loving plants like blueberries and hydrangeas. When we shovel snow, we throw it to cover any […]

We’ve had a lot of snow this winter, but no storm came with as much surprise as the one that crept in while we were sleeping Sunday night. We awoke to push alerts about school closings and a coating of […]
After a big storm, we always go out and clean the snow off the roofs and porches of the hives. The bees need their air! We don’t open the hive, though, tempting as it may be. It’s too cold. The […]

In the second snowstorm of the year, Samantha got out and walked around while Daddy shoveled. Such a toddler! She did great! Until this happened. Poor baby! Related posts: Snow at the Farm: So We Have Hot Chocolate Samantha’s First […]
We did have a few flurries and even a couple of inches earlier in the season, but this was the first time Sam really got outside to explore the snow. I must say, she seemed confused. A few more pics, […]
I’m loving this new book called The Brisket Book: A Love Story With Recipes. by Stephanie Pierson. It’s a cookbook, but it’s also a narrative, with lots of brisket stories and tips — and it has a great attitude: fun […]
