If you ask our dog Boomer, he'd say we definitely put the woodstove in for him. As it is, he is the one who spends the most time basking in its warmth. This time of year he spends time alternating between cooling down outside and warming up on his red pillow.

Tatsoi flower. Even in the cold, these plants are tenacious and delicious!

I love to watch the weather coming in. The farm has a great western view. I do believe this a type of arcus cloud called a shelf cloud: the leading edge of gusts and thunderstorms.

Sunset! A show I never get sick of.


​See our generally important notes below for our winter market schedule.

I am happiest outside. I may sometimes forget this but my body remembers. The moment I step outside, I take a deep breathe and remember.
Our friend the Northern Harrier is back to its winter hunting grounds, which overlaps with our farm. The land is so much to so many. I'm grateful to bear witness.

  • Winter market schedule:
    • December! We will be at all three of our markets the 10th and the 17th. We will then take our winter break.
    • We will return to Eastern Market and Royal Oak weekly January 21st. We will continue coming to market as long as we can grow enough that it makes sense. We will attend Ann Arbor weather permitting.
    • We plan on growing lots of microgreens and shoots and will bring them along with our storage crops (radishes, potatoes, onions, cabbage and more!). Tyler and I have big plans for an early spring season. We will have to see what nature decides. 
  • Generally important notes
    • We are inside at Eastern Market, in Shed 3, stalls 304 and 306. You can find us second on the right if you enter Shed 3 from Shed 2.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 5 cloves garlic - minced
