At the top of our list: heirloom tomatoes! Allow us to wax poetic briefly here; there’s just a certain kind of magic you can’t replicate […]
This is not a drill. It’s a stone fruit! Sometimes it’s good to have friends in high places. Many years ago, Mac connected with Steve Ela.

If you’ve ever wondered what all goes into one of your favorite weekend pastimes, the farmer’s market, you can begin this conceptual journey mid-week, Wednesday or Thursday, thereabouts. This is when the Elmwood Stock Farm farmer’s market team meets, discusses the good, bad and ugly from the weekend before, and plans for the weekend ahead. […]
We have been going to farmers markets for a long time—27 years as market vendors, and longer than that as shoppers—and would like to share some hints and tips on how to eat seasonally, with style.
Out here on the banks of the Elkhorn, life seems normal. Crop and cattle rotations are complementary to one another. Other than needing to sow some veggie seeds and move some fences, this solar-powered-food farm is set to run pretty much by itself. Cows calve and ewes lamb in the spring, timed to match the […]
