Winter has Wandered In


Well about one month after I claimed Fall in a past post, winter has wandered in. As such the light levels wane and we must shorten our viewing room hours. Our new hours 'for now', we will be open every day including holidays from 9-4pm. There you will find seasonally available cheeses in a self-serve setting. For special orders of lamb, please contact us ahead to pre-arrange pickup.


The farm was quietly blanketed in snow two days ago with a not-so quiet snowstorm. It began with hard rain and then slowly transitioned to sleet and then slick snow. Located at an altitude of 1200 feet, we get snow when most in the village have barely a dusting.

As we are mitigated by all things 'weather' here on the farm, happily for me as our season slows I get to cook a lot more and get together with friends. Having a penchant for baking hearth breads and low and slow barbeque this time allows me to rejuvenate my soul through food after a hectic spring, summer and fall.
