Farm Forecast There is a very specific point in the farming season when abundance starts to feel slightly unhinged. We have reached that point. This is the time of year when the kitchen is taking in armfuls of tomatoes, zucchini, herbs, and everything else coming out of the fields and figuring out not only what to put on a plate, but what to roast, pickle, preserve, blend, marinate, and turn into something entirely different before the next pile arrives. I have tremendous res

Our newest family member - Luke Anthony Shearman. (I'm not crying. You're cyring!) Farm Forecast Summer has officially settled in out here. There is sand everywhere in my car and house, we are never in bed on time because dinner is suddenly at 8:30 pm without question and there is always a zucchini magically appearing on the mudroom doorstep from a friend who "has too many to know what to do with." We are fully in it now, and I am already starting to fear the end of it. I (

Farm Forecast Summer has officially entered that strange phase where Tuesday somehow feels exactly like Saturday. The beach chairs never quite make it back to the garage. There's always a towel drying somewhere. Dinner happens later because nobody wants to come inside. Produce starts showing up on countertops faster than you can eat it. My favorite time of year. And this Friday marks another little milestone around here because our first reservation-only Wood Fyr Friday is of

Farm Forecast Can I just say it? Summer has officially arrived! I can feel it in every cell of my body. Summer and I are the best of friends. It's warm (finally). The beaches are packed, the farm stands are overflowing, friends are texting, "What are you doing tonight?" every five minutes, and somehow the calendar went from wide open to completely booked overnight. It's my favorite time of year. I've been soaking up every minute of it. Beach mornings, late dinners with friend

Farm Forecast Well, we learned something from our first attempt at Wood Fired Fridays: You guys really, really like pizza. As we've mentioned, after an incredible turnout and a lot of thoughtful feedback, we decided to make a few changes. The biggest one? We're taking everything people loved about the experience and turning it into something even better. Starting July 10th, Wood Fired Fridays officially return as a reservation-only dinner series. Just 40 seats. One beautiful

Farm Forecast Last week, after we announced our pivot away from the original Wood Fired Friday format, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. What followed was one of the most humbling experiences I've had in a long time. Customers reached out. Friends reached out. Fellow business owners reached out. People shared stories of their own mistakes, pivots, growing pains, and learning curves. Instead of criticism, we were met with support. Instead of frustration, we were met with

How adorable is this Mama Goat with her babes?! Farm Forecast One thing we’ve always tried to protect at the farm is the idea that food should support life, not completely consume it. And family has always come first around here. Last Friday’s Wood Fired Friday was honestly beyond anything we expected. The turnout was huge, the farm was packed, kids were running around in the grass, pizzas were flying out of the ovens as fast as humanly possible, and for a moment it felt like

Junie and I (And Charles) enjoying the fruits of the start of another amazing North Fork Summer. FARM FORECAST You can feel it now guys. And I’m hoping this warm weather finally sticks around because the roads are busier, the garden centers are packed, everyone suddenly remembers they own linen (or denim, bc if you’re not as excited about the return of denim on denim as I am, then I’m not sure we can be friends) clothing, and the farmstand hauls are getting bigger by the day.

Farm Forecast The farm is entering that slightly feral stage of late spring where everything is happening all at once. The weeds are winning, the greens are exploding, the sourdough shelves are getting cleared out before some of you have even had coffee, and every chef currently smells vaguely like smoke, onions, and olive oil at all times. Which to me says everything is right in the world again. Listen, I know there's a lot going on in world today, but it's simple moments on
