are overflowing with ramps yum ramp pesto ramp frittata ramps with black rice noodles and clams and some chives yea uncategorized rhubarb pie may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment we ve lucked into lots and lots of rhubarb and our favorite bakery keuka artisan bakery is making pies with it i canned some pie filling and a local ice cream shop expressed interest in making some ice cream with it spreading the food wealth is too much fun this is the pic from their facebook page check it out uncategorized recovery may 23 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment last march 2014 i was diagnosed with cancer now over a year later i look back first of all i count myself lucky i was diagnosed early and i lucked into a superb physician who helped us deal with all the aftermath i say us because ed was my rock i am so lucky to have had him by my side i m lucky to have been working at a job that not only provided insurance but let me be sick i was able to check out and heal i also had magnificent support from our kids and family so now i m so happy to literally dig in and get my hands dirty although i sort of did some farm work during all my treatments my efforts were minimal now i have so much more energy there are still many issues with recovery but i am enjoying my possibilities i left my desk job at cornell and i don t regret that i m prioritizing my own time it feels like a wonderful luxury what s next uncategorized house on the hill may 21 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment so much has progressed and then not so much it is livable up there folks willing to live without running water and a bathroom have enjoyed the tranquility it offers we had a very efficient but small sheepherders stove installed and it worked well but after some thought we decided to upgrade so we bought a super cook stove and got it installed it is much easier to load wood and is actually much better for cooking we hope to use the sheepherders stove in the attached greenhouse we also have a small propane stove in the house for quick cooking in the summer but we lack plumbing and our electric is working but is not complete when it is we will also have a working refrigerator so yay yay yay we have contractors lined up to finish the work it is possible that we will move up there in june and make our barn house more of a work house lots of trim and cosmetic stuff to be done but that is easy to complete slowly we have had the beautiful benefit of our kids helping us jessica comes with her muscles and goodwill will good will comes with his tool belt and know how thank you for shelves and window sills and bathtub and so much more marj and eric come and plant and weed and make staircases and help organize and so much more and next time they come with a grandbaby thank you buildings dear mother nature may 18 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment mother nature what are you doing i m sorry if we have made you angry but our plants are very confused when you give us 90 degree days then 30 something days they don t know what on earth yes earth to do we farmers keep holding off planting or going ahead and planting and then covering the plants as your whim keeps shifting there is only so much covering we can do and only so much waiting uncategorized market days may 15 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment we ve joined a new market it is a beautiful thing we have learned that our mainstay is providing salad greens and herbs and other seasonal vegetables to restaurants but the market is fun it is a chance to really connect with our community the community is hammondsport and it is turning out to be a collection of vendors and shop owners who want to create a vibrant saturday morning market yea keuka artisan bakery in town is managing it and property owners in town have donated space a lot of time donated and so far results are good thank you to the organizers and property owners uncategorized just thinking about where the line is may 10 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment when we moved here we had a whole lot of tolerance we embraced all the wild creatures we loved the woodchucks and birds and bees and when something built a home in our pond we thought the structure was beautiful we embraced the wildlife that called our place theirs then we learned that the structure was built by muskrats and they were simultaneously burrowing holes in the dike holding our pond that s what they do and if left on their own they would leave us with no pond and killing our chickens the woodchucks were chowing their way through our carefully nurtured lettuce beds and the beautiful birds included the sparrows that clip off every bud of our cherry bushes along with chipping away at our pea shoots and other seedlings not to mention the chipmunk squirrel mole mouse havoc that can occur so how do we live in peace with these creatures we heard similar stories from our friends who are transplants from long island they arrived with good intentions to share the bounty with the wild creatures and decided to build a fence of raspberry bushes to keep the deer out of their gardens deer are very intrepid their garden was soon compromised and their battle began our battle continues i hate to call it a battle but it is as in all aspects of life you need to draw boundaries but it is tricky to figure out where the line should be drawn we use every strategy we can to reduce the enticements and be kind to what we now consider our foes fences electric small wire big wire electronic devices to keep out moles abundant plantings so that there is more than enough guards to keep the mice from girdling trees humane traps to move the woodchucks and squirrels we also encourage good predators we have three guinea fowl guarding our place and we bring in lady beetles and put feeders out to attract the birds that be helpful not harmful our ponds also attract swallows and by being hospitable we have increased the swallow population here from one nesting family to eight mosquitos don t stand a chance that means we have almost a hundred swallows here at one point it is an awesome sight we keep trying to stay in harmony and nature keeps testing us uncategorized value added may 2 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment this year we decided to brave the sea of regulations and put our pesto recipes to the test as soon as our ingredients grew big enough to process we made up a batch of ramp pesto sorrel pesto and basil pesto to send to geneva ny for testing at the food lab run by cornell university they will be testing the process for safety and scalability if all goes well we will be producing it in our lovely friends restaurant kitchen and making it available for sale at the farmer s market we have a kitchen exemption so we have been making other value added products such as jam jelly muffins and cookies but this takes us to a new level we ll see if it is worth it but it sure has been interesting we ll hear the results in 4 to 6 weeks uncategorized sheesh april 9 2015 may 27 2015 jenpm leave a comment when we get to the time of year when the ramps finally strut their stuff we breathe a sigh of relief finally we say spring has sprung but oh my we went out to dig our first ramps and then as i went to deliver them to the waiting restaurants it began to snow sigh of a whole nother kind but we did enjoy our traditional celebratory ramp frittata even with the snow falling around us uncategorized goods bad and the ugly february 21 2015 february 21 2015 jenpm leave a comment we felt pretty lucky heading into this winter season with lots of stores goods in our above ground root closet it is a stick frame place inside our back barn that is surrounded by hay bales it works great to a point we kept it simple this year and decided to store only squash leeks and potatoes the squash and potatoes are in bins and the leeks are in light soil with roots and greens intact well the leeks are doing great onions btw didn t make it into the closet they are still on the green house benches where they were curing they have frozen and thawed and froze again but they currently are very edible potatoes are a disaster we used to keep them in our bedroom in the winter and they often sprouted early but this plan didn t work at all just mush the negative temperatures got the best of us today for example we woke up to 7 don t get me started on windchill that just makes it feel worse same with the acorn squash some of the delicata seems like it might be ok but we ll see so a lot of work growing stuff and storing it in the closet just to make compost arrrgh we know that all we need to do is put a tiny heat source in there like a light bulb or a heat tape but the extension cord to get it in there scares us completely so our fear of fire has kept us from proactively keeping the space from freezing last year we tried putting warm water bottles in there literally soda bottles filled with hot water and i think it helped but that nightly chore was rigorous no door take down some bales remove a panel restore bales and one missed night was the end of it since we travel during winter there was inevitably that one night ok next year we try again maybe it is back to the bedroom or maybe we don t store anything and pack ourselves off to florida uncategorized previous articles categories buildings
