This first time I remember making potato salad, it was with my grandmother and it was her Potato Salad For 100 recipe. The recipe calls for 30 pounds potatoes, 15 dozen eggs, and 1 gallon of mayo! When feeding our small but hungry family, I reduce that original recipe quite a bit! This is our simple but tasty recipe.
Whether it’s a global health crisis, a cyberattack, an extreme weather event, a cargo ship wedged in the Suez Canal, microchip shortages, or an armed conflict, there is a lot that can go wrong in our globalized supply chains. It’s like a Rube Goldberg creation.
If you enjoy barbecue sauce but don’t like the typical preservative-filled ingredient list on bottled sauce, you’re going to love the simple ingredients and amazing flavor in this homemade version.

Spring has arrived, which means our friends at Mystery Bay Farm on Marrowstone are making their delicious Farmstead Ricotta Cheese. This is a seasonal specialty, only available in the early days of Spring, and usually only available direct from the hands of the farmer.
By eating, you are actively participating in agriculture. So eat with confidence! Your food dollars are contributing to a resilient food system in a big way. And you might not know just how big.

Some of our problems are so massive, especially in the realm of agriculture, that it's hard to know how to even begin making a difference.
Growing up, we always had a small flock of hens to provide our eggs. It seems special to have brown eggs, unless you're a kid at Easter and all the advertisements show pretty pastel dyed eggs in the Easter baskets. You just can't make spring green, sky blue, baby pink, or sunshine yellow out of a brown egg. We used to beg our mother to buy store eggs for Easter.
One of our most frequently asked questions is some form of “why are you farming?” It’s a great question with many difficult to articulate and interwoven answers! But on this St. Patrick’s Day it seems a fitting time to share one of my all-time favorite photos and, with it, my over-the-rainbow story.

It's hard work to cook everything from scratch. Honestly, sometimes I really just want to open a can of something for dinner. Really, really want to! But then I look at the label. Or I long for a store-bought dessert and then am regretful when the preservatives don't settle well and the experience is ruined. Thankfully there's help!
