Our Homemade Lavender-Lemongrass Body WashWhat do you put on your body every day? By the time I’ve finished my morning routine I’ve used shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen for my face, and lotion for my body. Somehow, it took me close to a year before I started wondering what the heck was actually in those bottles in my shower. Isn't it odd that we’ve become so conscious of what we put inside our bodies, and somehow managed not to give any thought about what we were putting on them?
New Season, New Site, New Dorm Fridge... err Cheese Cave
Welcome to the new site! Yep, it's still us, just a revamped site. Now that the wedding is over I finally had a little time to give some love to the site. Scrapple did his best while I was planning the wedding, but I'm glad I had some time refine it a little. We wanted it to feel a little lighter and cleaner so I spent last week drawing chickens and laying out a new design - we hope you enjoy it!
And now for another unveiling, kicking the fall season off with a bang: Our new cheese cave!
yes - we said "cheese cave"
OK - it may be a crappy dorm fridge from the 80’s, but look a little closer and you’ll see the next step in hatching Little Seed’s cheese dreams! I’ve been making fresh cheese at home (thanks for the inspiration Melody!) once or twice a week for the past month. We’ve gobbled up ricotta, mozzarella, buttermilk cheese, primosale, and now today skyr. We’re ready, and excited, to move on to aged cheese. It’s one step closer to making something that might actually resemble a product we’ll make and sell on the farm.

Liquore al Basilico - Homemade Basil Moonshine
Liquore al basilico - the original recipe and our batch, Day 3We came back from our honeymoon and not even 24 hours after our return we were already craving, well, EVERYTHING we’d been consuming for the past two weeks. In the morning we longed for a fluffy mound of sheep’s milk ricotta and homemade jam on our toast, lunch just wasn’t the same without just-picked, still hot from the sun tomatoes and a bottle of Primativo (especially without the Primitivo), and Dinner… let’s not even get in to that! I might cry.A quirky local treat we enjoyed to no end were the house made Liquore’s served as a digestive after dinner. The style varied depending on the region and town
