Roasted Duck

July 27, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

We gave my friend Kate a few ducks in return for her help with harvesting them. She roasted one and shared the recipe, saying it turned out so "rich and good!" The recipe she followed is called Duck de Marietta, from the Omnivore's Cookbook. It calls for stuffing the duck with oranges and lemons then … Continue reading Roasted Duck

Lake life

We are blessed to have a family getaway up on Lake Manistee, between Grayling and Traverse City, Michigan. Lake life for us means relaxed days and lots of time spent together outside in the sunshine. Here's a glimpse into our first few days this trip. We've been doing a lot of swimming off the boat. … Continue reading Lake life

A New Tractor Already Making Life a Little Easier

April 4, 2018April 2, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

My husband is a tractor man. As long as I have known him, he's been buying little John Deere tractors, tinkering with them, and then passing them on to new owners in a little better state.  For a long time, there was always an extra one in the garage.  He seems to have moved through … Continue reading A New Tractor Already Making Life a Little Easier

A Tiny Nest

February 11, 2018 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I wrote last week about my budding interest in being a backyard naturalist.  Really, it's a long standing interest, taking a more directed form of late.  Anyway, the other day I was driving the tractor across the yard hauling chicken bedding and I passed a small nest on the ground.  I turned around to take … Continue reading A Tiny Nest

Spiced Pear Butter

September 13, 2017September 11, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I love apple butter.  I mean, who doesn't right? My go-to recipe for apple butter is from one of my favorite canning cookbooks, Canning for a New Generation by Liana Krissoff.  I was excited to find that Krissoff includes a variation on her apple butter recipe for pears.  Since I have an abundance of pears from our … Continue reading Spiced Pear Butter

Juicing Pears for my Favorite Fall Cocktail

September 12, 2017September 11, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 2 Comments

Another one of my favorite uses for our pears is juicing.  It's a fairly easy way to use a lot of pears and it makes a gorgeous golden juice. First I remove the stems and any yucky spots on the pears and then cut them in half. Then they go into the juicer about 8 … Continue reading Juicing Pears for my Favorite Fall Cocktail

Pear Harvesting

September 10, 2017September 11, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

We have a huge old pear tree in our front yard that drops loads of pears in the fall.  My neighbor Rita and her husband Frank planted the pear tree many many years ago, just after Rita's mother passed away.  It's been producing fruit for decades now, here on this farm.  No one is quite … Continue reading Pear Harvesting

Making Kombucha

July 20, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I started making kombucha about two years ago. A coworker drank it everyday and gave me some to try once. The flavor was a little tart but good, and when she told me all the health benefits, I thought - I should get into drinking this!  When I looked for it at the store I … Continue reading Making Kombucha
