October has come and gone in what seems like a flash! The chillier days and longer nights have been such a welcome respite after an incredibly busy September. We’ve felt so blessed to be able to put the garden to bed after another abundant season. But first things first, we had some harvesting and processing to …
As you may know, this month Vermont experienced a “thousand year flood” that left many of our communities literally underwater. Up at Sky Meadow, we and the animals are safe and the land was spared the worst. Our hearts are broken for our neighbors who have experienced catastrophic damage from these floods. We know the power …
We have some extra special garden crops at Sky Meadow this year, in partnership with the Abenaki Land Link program. Now in its third year, this is a joint project of the Nulhegan band of the Coosuk-Abenaki Nation and the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont. The program connects volunteer growers from around the state with …
June is of my absolute favorite times of year at Sky Meadow. The lupine and cornflowers bloom, the nettle is at its peak for cooking, and the weather is finally feeling summery, but still mild.

A few of our hens regularly go “broody” — that is, triggered by seasonal hormonal shifts to want to raise chicks. Normally when this happens, I don’t …

The snow melted late this year, thanks largely in part to our mid-March nor’easter. Luckily, we enjoyed a mid-month stretch of warm weather, so we could get a jump on clearing …
What a strange winter it has been! We had almost no snow throughout January. Now, in mid-March, we’ve had many feet of snow — and last week, a full-blown nor’easter. It almost feels as if the two months switched places! Regardless, even as we celebrate today’s Spring Equinox within winter’s cocoon, we know that it’s only …

Hello from the winter Meadow! Despite being more than halfway to the spring equinox, we are in deep winter mode here. February has brought some of our deepest snow and coldest temperatures so far. I thought it would be fun to share some photos of all our animals in their winter mode. The alpacas and sheep …
