Learning with Quail

March 2, 2023March 6, 2023 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

Last winter we hatched quail in my classroom and had surprising success. They grew quickly and began laying eggs in about 2 months. Every step with the quail was a learning experience for me. They are ground nesting so their housing and egg laying is different than chickens. They don’t roost together and have almost … Continue reading Learning with Quail

Making Duck Sausage

August 9, 2020August 9, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

When we did the meat bird harvest last month, we also thinned out our duck flock a little, putting some nice big duck breasts in the freezer. I have cooked duck breasts like a grass fed steak (seared then finished at a low temp in the oven) but I was looking for something else to … Continue reading Making Duck Sausage

First Pickles of the Season

July 9, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 3 Comments

We went to Michigan for a week and came back to a garden beginning to produce and flower beds that had turned suddenly into a jungle. It is nice to get away, of course, but takes a lot of prep before we leave and produces a long to do list upon return. I felt a … Continue reading First Pickles of the Season

Waste Not, Want Not: Leeks

June 24, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 3 Comments

Winter 2018 I started leeks from seed to plant in my garden. They grew well and I ended up setting them out in the early spring. These leeks spent all of last summer, fall, winter and this spring in the garden. I kept waiting for them to get bigger but they mostly stayed smallish. Now … Continue reading Waste Not, Want Not: Leeks

Strawberries for Every Meal

June 3, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

Strawberry season is officially upon us again. Two years ago I planted 40 strawberry plants in my perennial garden and they multiplied and multiplied. I probably have 1000 of them now. They are in the whole middle of my berry garden as well as lining the edges of most of my flower beds. I figured … Continue reading Strawberries for Every Meal

Tepache: a Fermented Pineapple Drink

April 22, 2020April 23, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here to share with you. Boy hasn’t life gone a little crazy in the last couple months?! My neighbor Lisa sent me a video a couple days ago that got me inspired to try a new fermenting project. I wanted to share it with you because it … Continue reading Tepache: a Fermented Pineapple Drink

Beer Bottling and Instapot Beef Stew

October 17, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I checked the potential alcohol on our beer today and found it to be at 1%. To find the alcohol by volume you subtract your final reading from your initial so ours is at 5% ABV. Witbier should fall between 4.5 and 5.5% so it's ready to bottle! First I needed to skim off some … Continue reading Beer Bottling and Instapot Beef Stew

Instapot Pumpkin Bundt Cake

October 15, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

Walking through Kroger today, I spied a whole wall of Instapot accessories. I've never seen cake pans for the Instapot before. I quickly looked up some recipes and decided I had to have the tiny bundt pan. The first recipe I decided to try was this Pumpkin Bundt Cake. I adapted the recipe some with … Continue reading Instapot Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Sourdough Pancakes

October 6, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

I awoke this morning to a happy sourdough starter overflowing its jar. Look how bubbly and active it is! It inspired me to look for a breakfast recipe to use it in. Many of the breakfast recipes I found required prep the night before but then I found Quick Sourdough Pancakes on food.com. They were … Continue reading Sourdough Pancakes

Sourdough Skillet

September 29, 2019October 6, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 4 Comments

I've been playing around with all kinds of sourdough recipes since my starter needs to be fed every day or two. If you know me at all, you know I hate to let food go to waste. There's only so much sourdough we can eat though so I've been seeking more creative ways to use … Continue reading Sourdough Skillet
