I started making my own vanilla extract several years ago. I didn’t do it to save money or make a better product. I did it because it’s just what you do when someone in your family suddenly has food allergies. One of the baking staples that I had a terrible time finding ingredient information and …

There are few things that I love more than spending time in the kitchen with my family. In fact, we have a tradition of declaring the occasional Saturday night as a “Family Feast Night”. I can’t remember one Family Feast Night that didn’t involve laughter, a great meal, and a memory that will remain fresh …

Some recipes stand the test of time. If a recipe can stay close to its original incarnation for a decade, I am impressed with its longevity. When a recipe remains unchanged for 100 years, I’m rushing to the farmhouse kitchen to start gathering ingredients. I first saw this recipe in 2007. I was happily reading …

When I mentioned a few days ago on our Facebook page that the best way to store fresh bread was in a cloth bag, I had no idea that so many of my readers would ask the logical question: “why?” When I started to type the short answer, I realized something. There is no short …

I love to make homemade pies from scratch. It’s a family tradition that started with my paternal grandmother. She was a gifted pie baker and enjoyed making pies in her tiny kitchen. More importantly, she wanted to share those pies with the people she loved. I was lucky enough to be one of those people. …

It’s time for me to face the facts: fall is here. The air is unmistakably crisp, the summer garden is dwindling, and leaves are beginning to dance around the farm with each passing breeze. I’m not ready to bid farewell to summer, but I am taking comfort in the fact that our favorite fall recipes …

If cucumbers are being harvested from the garden at 1840 Farm, then you will find multiple jars of refrigerator dill pickles chilling in our fridge. It just wouldn’t seem like summer without them.
