Preliminary invite in the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-op newsletter. If not on the list, sign up. Class January 23rd, Chef Mike will be having a course on Chicken/Sausage Gumbo. Takes place 6pm at the Coop. Cost is $30 for members and $40 for non-members. I love these classes. I mean, cooking classes right in Ti, let's keep these going! I learn so much and have used each recipe, over and over again. Also, a warm option for January Winter nights. I did confirm, Okra, optional.

Wow! We made a pizza with as many local ingredients as we could find. We put our new herbed fromage blanc and the plain curds together. Thought the fromage would melt to a watery mess, not so. The curds stayed firm, the fromage a pillowy soft sweetness, what a contrast. Fromage has tanginess that balances the simplicity of the young cheddar curd. The frozen sauce from Trigo captured the Adirondack in season tomatoes. And the sourdough pizza crust from Trigo is our go to, an organic sweet dough from locally milled grain. Mushrooms from Essex Food Hub. What a gift to live in such a farm-rich area. Stay tuned for our next pizza trial. Btw, working on my picture taking ability. And the pan is a soapstone, copper from Whitehall.

Clarify, farm is not closed just the on farm store through the winter, while we work on building infrastructure to make the farm more accessible. All our amazing products can be found at our tagged retailers. We are firm believers in being the face and inspiration for those that appreciate local food and animal welfare. We aim to not only create great cheeses and butter but to make our supporters an integral part of the journey by making the farm more inviting.

Good Morning: On Farm Store closed until Spring. We are working on the new milking parlor, wreath room, and aged cheeses (yes, you heard that right!). We will have some exciting news coming late Spring-Summer as we aim to expand our agrotourism offerings. Until then, please find our products at Lillie Valley Trigo Essex Food Hub Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-op and Spa City Farmers Market. Local Crown Point friends, just message to be sure we have any items in stock for on-farm pick up.

Good Morning. Hope everyone is staying warm. Our Winter Hours for on-farm pick-up will be Saturday/Sunday 12-4PM. We heat the store minimally in the winter. However, please note that we are working on expanding our offerings and locations. We now have butter, creme fraiche, and soon our new Fromage Blanc at Trigo in West Port. And while there, please try their breads and my favorite, the sourdough pizza dough! sooo good. We also will be Spa City Farmers Market every Sunday.

Update: All preordered wreaths are available for pick-up tomorrow. My fingers are calloused, each wreath was made with care and respect for our land. I will post additional wreaths as they are available. While making the wreaths, I listened to Braiding Sweetgrass. I encourage all those that live or visit the Adirondacks to read or listen to this novel. It speaks to both the botany of plants as well as their spirit, the folksong passed down. The author, like me, has some native blood. Unlike myself, she grew up in the Native American tradition. In some way, we are all native to a land, the earth, and our families. Each dried floral and evergreen I used has a story. A story that I wish to share.

Thank you! Your support has been overwhelming in a very good way. Below is Aegenwolf (our Fjord horse) letting everyone know that our Evergreen Wreath pre-orders are closed. There are only so many dried florals available and we like to forage the trees responsibly. We will have a few more unique wreaths for purchase at Lillie Valley Farm and Essex Food Hub starting 12/1 and 12/2. That wooden "shack" behind the horses will be our future wreath room. Next year, that mouthy horse will be pulling in tree limbs for you to cut your own evergreens and make your own wreaths! He needs a job! And we aim to create more inviting spaces for our customers aka friends to be a part of the farm.

We are starting to get orders for our Holiday Wreaths. They are all custom made from evergreens and dried flowers from the farm. We do not make wreaths until a very hard frost, that is why our wreaths last so long. Cutting a tree beforehand does not allow the moisture to seep through the branches. Below is an example of last year and this year, I have some additional offerings, so stay tuned. Will post all available wreaths weekend of 11/29-12/2. All sustainably grown, foraged responsibly and no shipping from elsewhere.

We premiered our new cheese, Fromage Blanc at the Paradox Brewery Farm to Table Winter Harvest Dinner. Thank you to chef Gavin for the support, what a beautiful brewery and dedicated owners. The cheese and our curds, butter and creme fraiche was well received and we met some amazing folks. We will have this cheese out in the world this week, flavors are Honey Fig, Mixed Herb and Maple. Stay tuned!

Last post but wow, thank you Crown Point for making our Halloween the best. I always hesitate to post how wonderful our town is for fear everyone will want to move here. I have lived all over the country but life on the Hogback is truly special. Marty and family, we saw the meteors tonight! We had a dinosaur that scared Aegean our horse, guess the trick was on him, on his birthday no less. And we are forever grateful to watch the amazing little girls across the street grow up and see their costumes each year. I will leave you with 2 pictures, the light through the trees on this magical night and Aegean celebrating his horsie birthday with Mike. Happy Halloween
