PROSPECT FARM


We are not your average farmers - if you could even call us that yet.

For some time it has been our goal to live sustainably off the land and now we are going for it! Our intention is to move towards having a household of production, not consumption through starting a multi-generation family farm providing organic vegetables, rustic breads and goat dairy for the local community. Our hope is to someday have our Vermont farm not only be a place to find quality local whole foods, but a community meeting ground to serve as an outlet for wellness, education and leisure for our neighbors.

Although we met in college, we both coincidentally grew up in the same New Hampshire area. Our studies originally focused on art and literature, which today are still huge influences to us, but we were looking for a change. Together we travelled throughout the country and have lived on both coasts, including a big city and an island in Maine. Through our experiences, we learned that we work the best as a partnership day in and day out and that our college studies are not what define us. What is most important to us is the way good “slow” food unites the ones we love.

Through this blog we hope to not only keep a log for ourselves, but also be able to share our stories and thoughts as we embark on this wild journey!

Radish Recipes

Radishes have arrived and we may have over-planted.  They have been a big hit with the dogs and the goats love the greens but, we are looking for some new ways to eat them. We have been grilling the older, larger radishes with salt, pepper and olive oil with great sucsess. 
This entry is written from Alton Brown's former airstream camper where we live, (Meryl's family bought it on ebay from him years ago) hence the inspiration for the culinary twist to our post.  I wonder if Alton ever thinks back on those tender memories of him, the camper and the call of the wild... does he find himself wondering, "Who's in my camper now? Where have they taken it?"... HA!  Alton should really follow this blog, we know he would get a big kick out of it.  Does anyone out there have radish recipe recommendations that will breath new life into, in our opinion, a great vegetable?
