Sometimes, things sneak up you. Like last night for example. Here I was, happily right in the middle of juicing another metric ton of pears (only slightly exaggerating), a lovely vegan chocolate pear cake baking in the oven and smelling up the house delightfully, the goats were munching away at the weeds in the pasture […]
This past weekend Tim’s sister Sarah, her husband and their four girls came to visit us at Hidden Meadow. It was their first time seeing our new home, and I can’t imagine a weekend packed with more fall fun and adventure. We watched a military parade at VMI, carved pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds, baked snickerdoodle […]
Hey friends. Guys. it’s October. I know for my southern friends it may not feel like it just yet, but it’s coming, I promise you. Here in the Valley it’s been in the eighties last week but thankfully dipping into the 60s each night and now during the days over the weekend. The breezes have […]
Happy Friday friends! As I type I’m currently sipping some nitro cold brew and keeping watch through the window over our goats Gilbert, Geoffrey, George and Gus as they mow down some weeds in the front pasture. (I feel like I should be in some sort of hipster farmer magazine right now) The extra caffeine […]
We all know the pretties, they cover our instas, our newsfeed, our ads. Impossibly beautiful moments with magical light, cool breezes, hipster hats, colorful blooms or foliage, the perfect mocha or malbec and of course the chic shoes. Carefully curated images paraded in an endless stream before our eyes, every night, and every day. I’m […]
Hey friends! It’s Friday, the 13th…and a full moon… Maybe we should all go back to bed and hide under the covers. It’s a drizzly day here in the valley, with a damp coolness that has me dreaming of firing up the old wood stove and snuggling on the couch with some mulled wine. The […]
Happy Friday friends. As I type, I’m sitting at our dining room table, with the bay windows open and a soft breeze playfully slipping through. There’s a tiny bit of chill in the air and a hint of rustle in the leaves, and it stirs up an excitement deep down in my soul, Fall is […]
Well friends, here we are. Two weeks into the adventure and we’re still having fun. This was a big week for Hidden Meadow Farm. While we’re still definitely in the honeymoon phase, the warm and fuzzies are just starting to be replaced by an ever growing panic of what in the actual heck did we […]
Today marks one week since we closed on our 34 acre farm in Lexington Virginia. One week full of excitement, utter exhaustion, and an incredibly (approaching impossibly) steep learning curve. So even though there are still boxes to unpack, corners to be dusted and acres of weeds to be pulled, I’m taking a break to […]
