Almost every day throughout the summer we’re incredibly lucky to have a farmer walk in our back door, some with crates of freshly-picked produce, others with a few pounds of vibrant Thai basil and minime cukes. We have mushroom growers, some who raise beef, pork or chicken, and some who raise goats and make incredible Chevre. While I’m still in bed I can be found texting and having morning conversations about what they have or don’t. It can be a heartbreaking business, but it’s a business based on love of the land, the miracle of planting a seed and watching it grow, of integrity and hard work. We talk frequently about the hardships and why we do it. It starts in January when they order their first seed; March when the first piglets arrive; in April when they get their chicks.

We know why we do it. Because it’s a gift to plant a seed, to nurture and harvest it. It’s a gift to feed. It’s a gift to know that animals are raised with love and integrity.

Flashback 30-something years and my (our) dream was to find a piece of property and create prix fixe dinners inspired by my relationships with the farmers I worked with for my catering business. I wanted it to feel like you were coming to my home for dinner. I ended up with a much different experience (we like to call it urban ;)), but with the same founding principles. And while it’s been amazing, the farm dinners never left my heart.

Our Saturday Stacks gave me the confidence to say it’s ok to change it up a bit, and I know now just how adventurous you are all. And since I’m about to become a grandmother I think I’m old enough to do what I (we) want!
