Jams & Jellies

Traditional Jam Sandwich Cookies

December 26, 2018December 25, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

I was tasked with bringing dessert for Christmas dinner.  I wanted to do something using my homemade jams and jellies.  When I happened upon a recipe for traditional Linzer cookies that included almonds in the dough, I knew I'd found my dessert. This recipe is fairly involved, taking several hours to prepare, but the result … Continue reading Traditional Jam Sandwich Cookies

Wild Grape Jelly

September 29, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I went out in search of goldenrod and came home with a basket filled to the brim with wild grapes. We have grape vines growing up over almost every tree at the edges of our property. It feels like a never ending battle between these and the honeysuckle. Both, luckily, also provide some edibles. Usually … Continue reading Wild Grape Jelly

New Partnership with Cincinnati Nature Center

September 5, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

Hello all. I do apologize that I have not written more on this blog in the last month. It feels like I've been doing nothing but harvesting and canning for the last few weeks. Tomatoes come in by the wheelbarrow every few days, and pears and jalapeños now as well. I've made lots of tomato … Continue reading New Partnership with Cincinnati Nature Center

Pear Season Returns

August 22, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

A sure sign of fall on its way is the return of pears here at the farm. We are blessed with a huge old pear tree that Frank and Rita planted when they lived here and another on our back neighbor's lot, from which I also usually get some fruit. Both seem to be some … Continue reading Pear Season Returns

August in Northern Michigan: a Food Paradise

August 8, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 2 Comments

We spent the weekend at our house up in Michigan for my sweet husband's birthday. This weekend had me saying, "yup, I could live up here!" Apparently Northern Michigan is a food paradise come late summer. The day we arrived I went out to check on my plants in the yard. I found my raspberry … Continue reading August in Northern Michigan: a Food Paradise

July’s Abundance

July 19, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

July is when I start to feel the shift from all input in the garden to a balance of input and output.  It's not all weeding with no reward.  I love the feeling of going out with my basket and coming back with good, fresh, tasty, often fragrant food.  Let me show you some of … Continue reading July’s Abundance

Mulberry Experiments

June 8, 2018June 6, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

Mulberry trees are one of those local plants many people love to hate.  When they grow over your driveway, I can understand the distress they cause when those lush dark berries stain every surface they fall on. Fortunately, we have a large mulberry tree at the edge of our back field, where the berries just … Continue reading Mulberry Experiments

Lovely Lilacs

May 14, 2018May 12, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

There is a beautiful old lilac bush on the edge of our property, along the tree line. A few years ago my husband almost cut it down when trimming brush. I'm so very glad I caught him before he did because this time of year it is covered in gorgeous purple flowers that fill the … Continue reading Lovely Lilacs
