Spent the rest of the weekend out at Oxbow Farm for their fall harvest festival.

Portrait of Jen

  Of course the most amazing spread

 Cold-pressed cider, which we later spiked with the tastiest whiskey...

 Hay bale ride 

 Farmer Adam talking about leeks... 

We learned to use ALL the green part

(we only used some before)

 And got to take the leek home,
which we sauteed with kale for brunch and put a poached egg on it, yum.

 We got a personal tour of the farm from Jen

 Yay Seattle! 

(So happy to hear Foxy Knoxy is free!!!)

 We harvested ground cherries from a plot near Jen's yurt

 They are so delicious, have you tried them?

Their little packages are so cute!

 Harvest

 Such a wonderful lifestyle...

 Campfire 

 and song!

My fall wardrobe:

silk blouses

skirts

sweaters
scarves

Vashon Sheepdog Classic with Caitlin this weekend.
Ahhh, island time...

 We got this melon from a Japanese farm at the farmers market.

It's translation in english is "Oh So Cute"

How perfect!

It's so nice to see David's project in Bolinas come full circle. 

Looking forward to the film.

 Here are some shots of Jen's interior. 

So feminine and cozy.

LOVE.

INCREDIBLE dinner at Jen's! 

She farms at Oxbow, one of my favorite vendors at the farmers market.

I was so blown away by the bounty in her kitchen...

As in: 

the oven was filled with boxes full of beautifully ripe cherry tomatoes,

the fridge was packed with the abundance she has been canning, 

and her baskets were overflowing with giant shallots, tomatillos, and artichokes.

It made me desperate to work on a farm, I am so sad that harvest is over :( 

NEXT SUMMER!

The fridge is stacked top to bottom with salsas, peaches in champagne, pickles and jams

tomato jam: heirloom tomato, ginger, orange zest, salt

the sweetest roasted tomatoes 

baby gems!

Pumpkin soup (pumpkin, leeks, créme fraiche, nutmeg)

baby gems, purple basil, pastachio salad

Ahhh, love

Thank you Jen and Adam!

Got fresh cranberry beans, kale, and speckled lettuce from the market yesterday and cooked up a mighty good meal tonight.
Also, it's starting to really feel like fall here.
It's beginning to get dark so early!
