Chimichurri Sauce
It’s super easy to whip up in the blender—even easier than pesto, I find. You can make it with parsley, cilantro, carrot tops (yup, for real!), or a combination of these.
Tasha’s Asian Crunch Salad
I could eat an entire bunch of kale as long as it was shredded thin and tossed in this stuff.
Massaged Kale Salad
This is more of a technique than a recipe—with just a quick massage, the tough fibers break down and farm-fresh kale turns into a tender, insanely flavorful salad base (that even kale skeptics love)!
Hannah’s Peach Arugula Salad
It’s that perfect sweet-and-salty hit you want at the end of a long, hot day.
Welcome to the Brooder: Raising Our First Turkeys
Without a human surrogate using motion, bright colors, and shiny objects, they will stand an inch away from a feeder and starve or dehydrate simply because they don't recognize what it is or what to do with it.
(The. Best.) Chicken Broth
A cup of warm, savory chicken broth reverses the hangries for both my 9-year-old daughter and me. It buys me enough time to put dinner together, and I feel great about it—unlike the mom guilt (and stomach ache) I get when I pop open a bag of corn chips.
Farmer Dave’s BBQ Chicken
It is super tangy, juicy, and smokey. And I’ve never known how he does it until I got him to sit down and walk me through it a few days ago.
Katlin’s Early Summer Salad
This is a celebration of the first berries, the "joy blast" of salads.
Red, White, & Blue Celebration Salad
This mixture of fruit was a favorite of mine as a child, only now with a twist: fresh ginger instead of candied.
Deconstructed Waldorf Salad
This deconstructed version celebrates the crunch of baby salad greens with a light, bright twist. Perfect for early summer!
The Night of Two Scared Mamas
Nine-year-old Sierra knew the truth: if I put the tube in the wrong place, this little lamb dies in her lap. If I do it right, the baby gets the food she needs. And we both knew I had never done this before.
A Quick Reset
Whether you're watching the storms roll through or taking a quick break between chores, I hope these little cheepers give you the same reset they give us.
The Flourless Brownie: My “Pocket Snack” for At-Home or High Altitude Adventures
It’s that feeling of “if I don't eat in the next five minutes, I’m going to lose all my momentum.”
Flower Petals & Ash: My Winter Chicken Health Rituals
Our girls give us so much. Let’s give them a little bit of love back.
Why We Called It “Old Dog”
There was something really meaningful in those eyes, something hard to describe… an eagerness to discover how delightful this life can be.
The Night Before Salad Greens
It's a gift for your table, this bounty so clean,
The freshest of food that our families have seen.
The Old Dog Farm Employees (and why they all poop)
Why do so many job descriptions involve poop? Good question.
Our regenerative approach means that animals provide critical fertility that builds our soil. And that’s how we can grow vegetables that are so nutrient dense and delicious.
You can’t buy compost this good. So, we make it.
How to Cut Up a Whole Chicken
Are you used to buying pre-cut chicken? Maybe you feel a little nervous about how to break down a whole bird? I used to feel that way, too!
We’ve got GOOD THINGS coming!
There is so much growing on the farm this year—from old favorites to new things I know you’ll love! (Fresh tomatoes, anyone?)
Sign up below to get our 2026 Farm Guide, but more importantly, let me do the remembering for you. I’ll send a quick note whenever a harvest is ready so you’ll know exactly how to get the good stuff.
(Since our chicken, turkey, and lamb only launch once a year, this is the best way to make sure you don’t miss them.)
