{pizza week} Just Grill It
Usually, when it comes to cooking I am the stereotype of a woman and depend on my husband to work the grill while I stick to the kitchen. Although friends had claimed grilling pizza was easy, I was reluctant to try it myself. I had happily devoured grilled pizza prepared for me in the past,…

{Behind the Scenes} at a working farm
This is the second summer I’ve had the chance to go out and work at Kilpatrick Family Farm. I usually only go out once a week since it’s about an hour from my house. When I started working there I really didn’t know what to expect. I just wanted to get as much experience as…

{Know Your Farmer} Strawberry Fest 2011
The lucky CSA members of Kilpatrick Family Farm were invited to head up to Middle Granville, NY this week for some strawberry picking, farm touring, baby animal petting and picnicking. The weather was perfect, cute little kids were out in full force and I spent every dime I had on strawberries. It was a good…
{recipe link love} CSA Program on the Road
As you read this I will be out & about delivering CSA shares to 19 fabulous families, couples and individuals. As Kilpatrick Family Farm‘s CSA Coordinator, I had the crazy idea to do home-delivery CSA Program in areas where we are not represented by a farmers markets stand; such as the Albany/Troy/Schenectady area. All of…

Editor’s Note: You’ve met Erika T, Britin F, and now its time to meet Jillian E, blogger of Everday Life, For Four Seasons. Jillian introduced herself via email one day, after reading the blog.

{springtime recipe} Pickled Fiddleheads
Before they are gone for the season, please go to your local farmers market and grab a bag of a truly “wild” and “foraged” food: premature ostrich fern, also known as Fiddleheads. They are curled-up ferns before they fan out into their fuzzy frond glory. I am lucky to be able to get my fix…

{Know Your Farmer} an announcement.
Things happen for a reason. After 35 years on the planet, I’m a believer. I lost my job at the end of February due to lack of funding. A “fresh” start…I could duck & weave in a new career direction. The problem is: I have a son with multiple health issues so full-time daycare is…

{photo diary} CSA FAIR, Troy, NY
I had a lot of fun at NOFA-NY‘s first annual CSA Fair with Michael at the Kilpatrick Family Farm table. I answered basic questions from a share holder’s perspective; what is a CSA? How does it really work? Is the produce good? How is the selection? What if I can’t make it to pick up…
