         We ate in the company of family, dear friends, three curious chickens and two calves. Strands of winter rye grass nestled beneath my boots as the ties to my apron dangled in the light air. In the openness of the pasture, I could see our home from the perspective of our livestock. And while it stands so tall and beautiful, it was clear to me that where we were...in the field with our animals, is the hearth of our home.

 

On the Menu: Heirloom Black Cherokee Tomato Sauce over Angel Hair Pasta, Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce (from Yotam Ottolenghi's PLENTY), Heirloom Rocky Top Lettuce mix and Roasted Garlic Bread
