I don’t do snippets well. I’m pretty adept with snippy, as my cafe regulars often remind me. But the language that drives social media — concise, artful, quippy — eludes me. So do the visuals. I think in essays and full-length books. This presents a challenge as I work to communicate with the next generation. […]

Algebra Tears
This morning, I’m crying over the algebra textbooks. Not for the usual reasons folks cry over algebra. My hands press into them, as though by pushing down, I can hold her here. Like this. With me. Always. The reality that I’m letting go of my oldest child now shadows my days constantly, even though she […]
Tocqueville Meets Theater Geeks
“I’ll only do it if you’re doing it.” “I’ll only do it if you’re gonna do it.” The dialog between Saoirse and Bob has played over and over in our family for the past six weeks, like one of those Instagram boomerang videos. They’d been trying to decide whether or not to audition for the […]

Some folks mention the farm, some mention the books and essays, some mention the letters behind my name, and others mention the fact that I make the best […]
How do you sell this?
I peer through my bifocals at the book on the table in front of me, then at my computer screen. Next, I squint down at my iPhone. I’m trying to understand the difference between the feed (it’s actually called just “Feed” in Instagram lexicon, the book explains), and the story (is that just “Story?”). If […]

You can afford the best pork.
Every year, a typical food-conscious family spends $875-$1200 on pasture-raised pork. This year, we can make it available to you for less. Much less. You can thank Kate, our herd manager. Kate has fallen in love with our breeding sows. Under her care, these fine sows give us beautiful piglets. And […]
