The Potential is Palatable

Slipping into the greenhouse these days, you will be rewarded with a quilt of colors, textures and aromas. Let’s look at what’s in store for the start of another growing season.

Decadent 12-Egg Pound Cake

Organic, pasture-raised eggs are a nutritious food choice with more vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced eggs. Just because they’re healthful doesn’t mean they can’t be decadent. Try this 12-Egg Pound Cake recipe using Elmwood Stock Farm’s organic, pasture-raised eggs! It’s a classic family favorite dessert, perfect for when our pasture-raised hens are producing extra eggs in the springtime.

The New Way to CSA: A Look Back

Nowadays, we tuck shareholder-customized shares—packing lists generated for us by computer—into cabbage boxes and neatly stack them in air-conditioned delivery vans. We offer our thanks to the early adopters of Elmwood Stock Farm’s CSA Farm Share subscription model for sticking with us while we adapted to better systems for everybody.

The Soil & the Stars & the Spring Equinox

We are looking forward to the spring equinox on Saturday, when the earth tilts enough for the sun to be coming our way again. With it will come more chances to grow more vegetables, in due time.

Time for Lambing, Chicks & Turkey Eggs

February went out like a lion and March came in like a lamb—not the normal way of saying this analogy, and we don’t yet know how it is going to finish. While the weather timeline skews early this year, the saying is still most apropos. Lambs will indeed be coming soon, so we are all […]

How to Cook Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef

We talk about Elmwood Stock Farm’s beef as “organic, grass-fed, grass-finished, dry-aged, USDA Choice grade, Angus-Wagyu beef.” This is a mouthful, and every detail is important! That the beef you purchase from us is grass-fed and grass-finished is surprising to many, as it actually has more flavor, tenderness and moisture than you might expect.  Here, […]

Frozen: The Farm Edition

Last week’s ice storm enveloped every nook and cranny of everything outdoors on Elmwood Stock Farm, encasing us in a coating of ice. In terms of weather afflictions on the farm, wind doesn’t bother some things; rains bother some things but help others. Ice storms bother everything. We have persevered through previous ice events, indeed, […]

Packaging’s Next Best Life

Thanks to many of you in the Elmwood Stock Farm community who offered feedback about our packaging update! As promised, here’s a follow up with some ideas on how you can give packaging its best next life when it comes to your door. “I reuse or recycle all my Elmwood Stock Farm bags. The CSA […]

A Love Letter to the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group

We are who others help us to be. Most of the farming we do was learned from somebody else. We just put our little spin of technology, wherewithal and personality to it.  More often than not, over the last 30 or so years, we would be traveling to or co-hosting the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working […]
