Farm Musings

We are hosting a Dinner on The Farm event that I am SO excited about... Hope you will join us for an amazing evening and meal. Chef Adam from Saint Dinette and Tattersall Distilling will be cooking up an amazing feast served just a half hour west of the metro. July 30th is the big day.

Shawn (3) said he wanted bacon and green beans, but the bacon had to be crispy, not too fatty. Here is the result. Simple, yummy and nutritious.

Spring is just around the corner which means it's time to meet some of the newest chicks coming to TC Farm. This is our 7th year doing this and it is always a lot of fun for kids and families.

Oh how I love egg cartons. We used to have SO many, but where have they gone?

If you love cooking or WANT to love cooking, you should have a kitchen scale. They make it so much easier with much less cleanup. Plus they are a great excuse to bake some cookies.

I really love cooking by weights, especially with peanut butter and brown sugar. I just hate trying to get that measuring cup clean! So I decided to make this simple recipe here by weight so I wouldn't have to figure it out every time.

Mmmmm so good. If you've never tried our apple maple smoked brats or some of these other favorites, there's never been a better time.

Since learning about the dangers of most soaps, lotions, and candles, I've been making our own. It took a lot of iterations and I still have much to learn, but I am ready to share my work.

Jennifer Simonson is a local photojournalist... I am sure you've seen her compelling work and I love following her on Instagram. Today she just posted the first of her Food for Thought short videos and I simply had to share it here...

This is so good... just wish we could offer pasture raised TC Farm lobster...

On Saturday, Feb 11 I sat down for a conversation on Wellness Radio. We talked about why Betsy and I started TC Farm, the things we learned along the way and some surprising thoughts around organic vs. GMO vs. Non-GMO.

Vegetable CSAs are a great way to supplement your TC Farm membership with sustainable produce you can trust. Here are some things you should know about why a veggie CSA is right for you. Every year we have members who are disappointed that their veggie CSA sold out. Now is the time to register if you haven't. The season is about to start.

Admit it. You've caught yourself thinking: 'Sure, organic farms are nice but they don't scale. We can't feed the whole world this way.' A new performance trial from the U of M pitted organic corn head-to-head with conventional. Guess which came out way ahead?

Bet you'll wish you had some stockbones after reading this member's recipe for Pho. Quick: order some today for the February delivery.

A woman from Illinois gave some tips for how to live a long life. One of her delicious secrets? Bacon. Really.
