They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Harvest and scrub: Two small turnips One large radish One medium rutabaga Five small carrots Six green onions. Clean and dice. About 1/2 inch cubes is the goal. Slice and dice sausage, to about the same size, 1/2 inch chunks. Stir fry and simmer together until rutabagas are just starting to get soft. Salt, pepper… Continue reading Root and Sausage Pasties
Cooking with the kids is so much fun! (Most of the time). Winnie is pretty sure she is big enough to do everything. If you tell her she is too small she assures you with complete confidence "I know how to do it." What she lacks in size, she makes up for in attitude... except… Continue reading Another Food Post: Pie, Breakfast, Duck Breast
All the mises are en place as our Parisian friends are wont to say. One goose egg. Cream, cheddar, salami, and a cup of fresh sauer ruben. (The sauer ruben is at 9 days fermenting, with just a tsp of pepper and some carraway in this batch. So tasty!) The moment we have all been… Continue reading One (Goose) Egg Omelet
We skipped the turkey for Thanksgiving this year. Instead we roasted two of the ducks that we harvested last weekend. Kathleen stuffed them with apple and onion slices, and rubbed them with salt and pepper. She set them in the turkey roaster and filled the bottom with half an inch of apple cider to steam… Continue reading Roast Duck

Typically… Continue reading Butter Beets (only not really).
Since we harvested the pigs last year, we have been working on our cooking skills, that is, learning how to cook pasture raised meat. We are almost out of pork chops now, and since that is one of the favorites and easiest to cook, here is Ryan’s way of doing it. (Kathleen does it quite… Continue reading Now that’s what I call a pork chop
We invited these fine fellows over for supper tonight…
You know the best part of doing old time farm work? It is awesome. The second best part? You get to see the sun rise on a regular basis. The third best part? You get to eat like an old time farmer. Seriously, I tell my patients all the time, "You can eat like an… Continue reading Old Time Farmer Food
Welcome to my inaugural post! My hope is to share with you how we use the bounty we harvest from Three Hearts Farm to feed our family and community. There is something very satisfying about being able to grow and make food for others. This weekend we were had the opportunity to do just that.… Continue reading Saturday Night Dinner
