Love to all you customers, friends, family, farmers. #foundheart #valentinesday #farmvalentine #corncobs #winteronthefarmLoaves from yesterday’s “stitching” photos. The better-stitched one (right) definitely rose up instead of out. Unrelated: I finally ran a handful of white rice through my Nutrimill and now the scoring looks pretty. #winterbaking #sourdough #natchlev #tartinemethod #porridgebread #wholegrainbaking #arapahoehrww @meadowlark_organics #redfife #organic #organicflour #localflour #localgrains @artisangraincollab @chicagobreadclub #chicagofoodiesOops, I made too much starter. Waffles it is! These are literally just starter, 100% hydration, with a pinch of salt and a pinch or two of baking soda. Et voilà! Now the ones we didn’t have for breakfast are going in the freezer to be reheated in the toaster as needed.

Good thing I made a 2-loaf batch...swipe to see the other messy one. 😜 #porridgebread with our #arapahoehrww, @meadowlark_organics bolted #redfife and @kingarthurflour organic bread flour. ~75% hydration and with a cup or two of my dad’s cooked homemade hot cereal (wheat, rye, and flax) “laminated” in. #sourdough #natchlev #localgrain #localfood @artisangraincollab @chicagobreadclub #tartinemethodFocaccia with rosemary and pecorino for 100. Turns out it was only about 70 at @opentableucc today so there were plenty for folks to take home. Recipe by @aworldwithoutfood from a class organized by @artisangraincollab last year. 50% our whole grain #arapahoehrww and #rye with homegrown rosemary. #freelunch #focaccia #wholegrainbaking #winterbaking #wholegrains #organicgrain #organic #localgrain #localflour #rosemary #sourdough #freecommunitylunch #allarewelcome @pickusottawailHow would I live without spreadsheets? I don’t like taking chances with 10kg of dough. #bakingtimes #bakingnotes #timingiseverything @chicagobreadclub @aworldwithoutfood #focaccia #wholegrainbaking #sourdough #biga #preferment @artisangraincollabWho is the fairest muffin of them all? Yes, you are! My #newyearsresolution bread is a little late this week because I’m making 10kg of dough this weekend, so the #newfarmhand and I made today’s #winterbaking project apple muffins from the back of an adorable kids’ book someone gave him called Apple Farmer Annie. 🍎 Annie does all the things: picks the apples, presses the cider, sauces and bakes and dries, and sells absolutely everything every time she drives into the city for a market. Amazing, amirite @earthfirstfarms ?? 🍏 These have about 25% our whole grain #arapahoehrww, about 25% @janiesmill Frederick pastry flour, and the rest whatever AP flour I had left in the tin. Spices cut in half so the apples (some from our trees!) stand out nicely. #wholegrainbaking #localgrain #localflour #organicgrain #organicflour #applemuffins #applefarmerannie #homegrown #bakingwithkidsQuick change from my law-office-appropriate* attire to my bean delivery uniform. Realized sometime in the last decade of farming that not many farmers make it without outside income, and haven’t for at least a couple of generations. *not a lawyer; bookkeeping #farmlife #quickchange #boots #workboots #fullemployment #entrepreneurlifeNews Briefs
Events
Our annual Farm Tour & Tea is cancelled for 2019 due to an extremely wet planting season (we expect that some things might not be planted by the last week in June). We hope to host a potluck party on the farm later in the season instead. As soon as we have set a date, we’ll let you know here and via social media.
