As we’ve all just survived the polar vortex, I can think of no better way to rewarm our souls than with this meal. Salty, crispy skin gives way to the rich and succulent meat of the chicken thigh. It is swimming in a sauce of white wine, garlic, thyme and paper-thin onions with leafy green spinach sliding its way into …
You will be hard-pressed to find a better winter’s meal than Shepherd’s Pie. Traditionally made with ground lamb, Foxhollow’s grassfed goodness anchors this dish, giving us a twist on the original and a new and creative use for the number one requested item at Foxhollow Farm. The ideal supper for any Anglophile, this English pie is chock-full of onions, …
My third installment of the Foxhollow Farm monthly recipe series brings us my very favorite steak: the ribeye! Beautifully marbled, this particular cut of meat sits on the upper section of the cow’s ribs, protected from over use and allowed to remain healthfully fat. The next time you are at the Foxhollow Farm Store, take a close look at the …
We are sitting atop rickety wooden benches in a cozy corner of a very small, very old pub. A fire roars to my left and I am enveloped in the laughter of my family. We dine on a variety of traditional pub fare, swilling beer and wine to warm ourselves as snow falls gently just beyond the stone-framed windows. We are in the tiny …
It’s time to talk popcorn. And I don’t mean the shrink-wrapped, artificially-flavored, mass-produced, super-market variety. I’m talking about home-grown, hand-shucked, natural goodness that has been cultivate with love by Foxhollow Farm. Now I must confess, I honestly had no idea that the beautiful bunches of multi-colored corn cobs hanging from the farmer’s market booths were anything other than attractive autumn decor. …
I honestly can’t remember what I ordered for lunch that day. I don’t remember what season it was, what I was wearing or exactly how many years ago this lunch took place. All I recall is feeling extraordinarily special as I sat with my Grandmother at The Zodiac, warm from the oven popovers and sweet strawberry butter at our fingertips, while …
At it’s ethos, a grilled cheese sandwich is all about an indulgence. This sandwich in particular is the definition of a splurge and I will not apologize for it’s decadence. I am certain we share the same feeling of nostalgia and contentment when pulling two halves of a grilled cheese apart, the cheese grasping hold, attempting to stay intact …
“Just let me know if you want any chard – I’m substituting other items in the CSA basket as no one seemed to really want it.” I’m standing at the Douglas Loop Farmer’s Market staring at Pavel in utter disbelief. What does he mean no one wanted the chard? My arms are already feeling the strain of the two bags I …
Over the past year and a half my dear friend Maggie has welcomed me into her world at Foxhollow Farm. And what a glorious, biodynamic, grass-fed, farm-fresh world it is indeed. Located in Crestwood, Foxhollow is nestled in the Kentucky countryside, a peaceful and productive source for some of the very best food this region has to offer. I …
I have no idea why it took me so long to commit to a CSA. Short for Community Supported Agriculture, I wrote a check to a local farmer named Pavel in April. In exchange, he promised to provide me with farm-fresh, chemical-free veggies raised with organic and biodynamic farming methods in mind. While the amount of the check felt a bit hefty in …
