  • A Day at Flag Hill

    By Lindsay Pattison – September 17, 2015

    We left the farm on a rainy Friday morning with 20 bushels of apples in the market van, rain boots, and a general sense of direction. We were on an assignment from Alison: press these apples into cider with the help of Sebastian Lousada, owner of [Flag Hill Farm](http://www.flaghillfarm.com/) in Vershire, Vermont. Read more →

  • Cooking Inspired

    By Lindsay Pattison – August 6, 2015

    Searching for new recipes can sometimes be a bit daunting. I am drawn to the cookbook aisle of the bookstore to book covers that capture beautifully plated dinners and appetizers. Inevitably, as I sift through the book, fascinated with the colors and apparent textures, I become increasingly hungry and curious. But then, the recipes are often not practical for day-to-day meals at my house (think complicated sauces and multi-step preparations - no thanks!). Read more →

  • Room to Grow

    By Lindsay Pattison – July 31, 2015

    I become giddy sometimes when given the opportunity to learn something new. My brain gets into sponge mode, and all I really want to do is soak up new information and then act on it. So last Tuesday, June 21, when our entire staff met for a shared lunch, an open Q&A session, then split into small groups to learn about a topic of choice, I was elated. I grabbed my notebook, a pen, changed my shoes, and headed to the fields toward the chicken coop, ready to learn about how to raise hens. I didn’t even care that I was the nerdy one taking notes - I was happy to be in the open air, learning about measurements of hen houses, laying schedules, and types of feed and protein percentages.

  • Sustainable Food Goodness

    July 23, 2015

    My feet were planted on the farm early in April. My introduction to Cedar Circle life was planting our salad mix and scallions in a hail storm with crew mates, and spending many days in our strawberry field pulling weeds with roots strong enough to stabilize skyscrapers. It has been a good ride thus far: 80 work days with few predictable moments, including sliced fingers and rashes from the spiny squash and wild parsnip. I have new appreciation for a good pair of boots, rain gear with trustworthy zippers, garlic scapes, and anyone who can sew the tears in the asses of my pants. Read more →

  • Regenerative Agriculture - Hope for the Future

    By Kate Duesterberg – July 15, 2015

    In June, Will & I were privileged to be a part of an international gathering of activists, scientists, farmers and communicators aimed at building a movement to expand practices and awareness of regenerative farming and its potential to actually reverse climate change. The conference took place at an amazing biodynamic farm and eco-lodge in Costa Rica. Read more →
