Around the Farm Table

Inga invites friends to her version of a 'Downton Abbey Shooting Breakfast'. She visits Turnip Rock Farm to pick up cheese, bacon and kale. And then learns about fish farming at Eat my Fish near Menomonee. She makes a British kedgeree and braised greens.

Inga's little nephews visit the farm and help make homemade ice-cream. Inga hitches a ride on a milk truck to Viroqua to find out how to make root beer pop. She then discovers a field full of organic strawberries. Then it's back to the farm for a fun ice cream social for her nephews and their friends.

Inga prepares a "thank you" lunch for her farmer friends who have always been there to lend a helping hand. She prepares a veal roast baked in hay and lemon tarts for dessert!

Inga makes tea and scones for the farm crew at Indianhead Holstein Farm. She picks up flour from Great River Mill near the village of Pepin. Then she learns how to grow herbs for tea at Sunbow Farm near Eau Claire.

It's calving season at the farm and Inga helps Isabella the cow through an easy birth. She then bikes off to Spring Green to attend a Devon cattle auction and visits Taliesin to pick fresh veggies and rhubarb. Inga finishes a busy day by serving a delicious meal in Frank Lloyd Wright¹s dining room.

Inga visits a quail farm and finds out about the Beginning Farmer Project. After milking, some of Inga's biking friends visit the farm and Inga serves them a meal of pickled quail eggs, lamb ragù and fresh homemade pasta.

Inga is thinking about starting a bed & breakfast (B&B) at her farm. She travels to Blanchardville to learn about running a farm-stay B&B. After milking goats, making beds and cultivating the garden, she discovers it's a lot of work. Before leaving, Inga cooks up a frittata with fresh sheep milk cheese and tiny zucchini bundt cakes for the guests.

Inga sets off to learn what it means to be part of a community. She visits a century-old church, travels to Eau Claire and helps her Amish friend move his pigs to a fresh pasture. Back in her kitchen, she makes some pickles and bakes up a vegetable pie with lard crust for The Church Ladies Picnic.
