Debate for the Ages
Is there really an answer to this question? Especially at the height of the season, when they pull the lobsters out of the water and cook them while you wait at the dock… I think multiple taste testings are in order! In other news, a certain someone (Andrew, not to …
Tomatoes, Tomatoes Everywhere!
This year, even with all the epic rain, tornado watches, flood watches, scorching heat with 150% humidity, beetles and other not-tomato-conducive variables Andrew and his team have managed a serious bounty. Our tomatoes are luscious, packed with taste and stored in every nook, cranny, bowl and basket available. I don’t …
Lazy Days of Summer
Now that summer is in full swing, it’s time to get down to some real R&R. That means loitering about a body of water trying to achieve a melanin density that will carry you through November at least. And cooking all that’s fresh. This little still-life took me all but …
Article in Princeton Magazine and ‘The Sheep That Thought it was a Pig’

Running Afowl at the Farm
So there was tremendous barking at the front door. The kind of bark that sounds furious and frustrated all at the same time. As I rushed to the front door, I figured out why. The turkeys were teasing Sarge. Just playing with him. Dancing around on the walkway, and then …
Summer Weather Finally Here
Well it’s time to put away the cardigans and long-sleeved shirts. It’s smoking hot out there. The moment has come to find a hammock and just let the days pass you by. Taylor and the pasture crew have moved animals to shade. I like the steer in the creek in …
Foraging on the Farm

Pigs up at Schwinn’s
This year, Orlando gets to move the pigs up to the Schwinn’s pastures where they will luxuriate in all the tall grasses, open meadows and shaded tree groves. They love it. Sometimes, as Cat was explaining, they get so nestled in that they don’t want to make the daily migration …
Double Brook Farm in the News
This past Sunday, The Times of Trenton was nice enough to feature our farm on the cover of their Business Section. Lots of great pictures of Jon with the chicks and poults! ‘Chick magnet’ really does have a better, cooler ring to it than ‘poult magnet’ Photograph Mary Iuvone for …
Pictures From the Fields
