LFN: Blue Rooster Farm
A Look at Our Local Food Network A few weeks back we had the pleasure of visiting with Roy and Julie at Blue Rooster Farm. They are a grass-based farm, devoted to ecologically friendly practices.

Marinading… with Milk?
August 3, 2011
Since starting a recurring weekly order from our local raw dairy, we’ve loved it, haven’t looked back, and I am still surprised it took so long to get used to the raw milk idea. Which is all great. But then, Tuesday, aka Doomsday (kidding. sort of), rolls around and again, here we are, scouring the […]
The growth-cycle of garlic.
June 25, 2011
Today is a cool summer day here in central PA, with a high of a heavenly 75 F. Even so, I can hardly conjure up the memory of those chilly days last fall that found us on our hands and knees poking garlic cloves into the ground. At that time of year, the garden is […]

Simple, Spring Chicken – Glorious!
May 4, 2011
Oh man. This is good. Seriously top ten. Go with the freshest chicken and greens you can. The rest is magic. Simple suppers, moosewood style, is probably where cooking started for us a few years back. So, there’s a special place in my heart for that really simple, really tasty, quick fix. This takes a […]
Foraging: They came in the night
May 1, 2011
We found these morels …. in a secret spot. Hope there’s a second round in our future. Last week’s tremendous thunderstorm and warm(er) weather probably had a lot to do with our fantastic luck. I’m doing a rain dance. Right. Now.

Pak Choi, baby spinach and radishes for the taking! Fava seedlings are on their way, but clearly no match for Pak Choi.
