I'm a brown-shouldered mama living on a vegetable farm in Virginia in New York near the sea with my fella and my kids and my dog (also a cat and three goats and a ragtag flock of chickens and, most recently, thirteen pigs and another 500 chickens). We work hard and play hard and our fridge is truly an embarrassment of riches.

I came to farming from my beloved New York City more than eight years ago now. I miss working with families.

As I look for more ways to invite both my city mouse and country mouse selves to the table, I take a lot of pictures. My dear friend Lindsey once called me "curiously blogless." This is as close as I'm like to get for now. I held onto that for a long time but now I do write over at our farm blog and also at this new project about kitchens and family. We're moving soon, though, and both those sites are really rooted in this physical place. I'd like to keep writing and as such have bitten the bullet and started a blog over here.
