Around the Farm Table

It is fall harvest time and Inga prepares a “thank you” meal for the farm friends that helped her undertake a new adventure with garlic. Scottish Highland beef and an apple turnover are served.

Inga prepares a bachelorette lunch for cousin CeCe at the beautiful and historic Ten Chimneys estate. Lowline Angus beef is served along with a chance encounter at the garden of Inga’s TV idol.

Spring has arrived on the farm! Inga is off to get some new baby chicks in far northern Wisconsin and check out Gloucestershire Old Spots piglets across the border in Minnesota. Then it’s back to the farm to prepare a spring nettles pesto pasta.

What does it take to start your own cheese-making business? Inga is on a mission to find out, with stops at Darlington Dairy Supply and Saxon Creamery. Then it is up to Door County to visit a new cheese cave. Once she’s gathered what she needs, it’s time to head back to the farm to feed some hungry 4-H kids a cheesy snack.

Inga makes a ploughman’s lunch for a world champion sheepherder, picks up some heritage wheat in Mount Pleasant, learns how to grow herbs near Amery and visits Wisconsin’s very own Jung Seed in Randolph.

Inga finds out about new drone technology on the farm before biking the Lake Superior shore. She’s intrigued by how the local co-op works with farmers and the community on sustainably-raised, high-quality food. Inga also explores the farm-to-table movement in Ashland.

After a long day of farm chores, it’s time for yoga in the barn to soothe away aches and pains. Inga checks out Amanda’s Eggs in Tilden, Wisconsin and serves vegetable strata to her farmer yoga friends, along with dill aquavit to quench their thirst.

There’s something new on the farm! Inga picks up two beautiful Welsh Cob Ponies as a birthday surprise for her nephews. Later, Inga gathers goat butter at Nordic Creamery in Westby, then stops at the Driftless Folk School in Viroqua and a root cellar to pick up ingredients for a chocolate beet birthday cake.
