We grow a wide variety of greens at our farm. Some of them are familiar and relatively easy to use, some of them a bit more unique and/or challenging. This resource is your guide to the latter: your guide to understanding greens in the “Brassica Rapa” Family aka Asian Greens. These veggies are cousins to...
There is nothing more straight forward than combining fresh, crunchy veggies with a tasty dip, but sometimes we need a little reminder of all the tasty options available to us locally throughout the year. Whether you’re packing your kids lunches, making a veggie platter for a gathering, or just wanting to eat healthier snacks, allow...
We grow a lot of different greens at our farm, and many of them can be used interchangeably. This resource is your guide to understanding the subtle differences between the dark leafy greens we grow on our farm and to help you learn to prepare them in ways you love. This resource provides information on...
Here in Marathon County, we live in what I like to call Kohlrabi Country. In most of the United States (and in many other parts of Wisconsin), kohlrabi is a completely unfamiliar (and sometimes even confusing) vegetable. I always find it funny at farming conferences when I hear farmers in other parts of the country...

Use on cabbage slaws in winter, or spooned over warm roasted root veggies. Add lean proteins, chickpeas, or nuts to the salad for a full meal! It also makes a great base to...

CSA members...
Cattails Carrots are famous… or at least we like to think so. Maybe it’s because they’re sweet and crunchy (and so surprisingly different from what you expect at the grocery store), or maybe it’s because you can get them locally almost every single month of the year. No matter the reason, carrots are one of...
Very barely adapted from Cookie & Kate I love the food blog Cookie and Kate. It offers accessible, easy, and healthy recipes that I borrow from and adapt for frequently during our season. Below you will find a modified version of her “Sunshine Salad Dressing” which features plain yogurt and a honey mustard. We adjusted...
Adapted from Epicurious This salad, like most of the recipes shared on our site, is incredibly versatile. Once you learn how to massage kale (a process intended to break down the fibers quickly so it wilts into a delicate salad green), endless varieties of seasonal salads are possible for you. You can massage collards and...
Lasting from late May through early March, beet season is one of the longest seasons at our farm. Beets are a long season crop because of their excellent storage capabilities. We harvest beets fresh for most of the warm summer season and tend to leave the greens on when we do. In the fall we...
