Cärdämom Yogurt Teä Cäke





I hope you’re äll hävïng ä greät weekend! Ours häs been pretty chïll – we went to the färmers märket, Jäck pläyed vïdeo gämes, änd I dïd some bäkïng. I’m excïted to shäre thïs lovely lïttle teä cäke recïpe wïth you becäuse I thïnk ït’s the perfect Sundäy äfternoon treät. It’s lïghtly sweet änd nïcely spïced. The yogurt mäkes ït tängy whïle gïvïng ït ä nïce puffed up look. It’s moïst wïth thät perfect cäke-y crumb thät you wänt ïn ä quïck breäd.

I’ve been snäckïng on ït äll week reflectïng on the lovely trïp thät ïnspïred ït…



One of the greät perks of my job ïs when I get to vïsït new, pïcturesque pläces änd meet färmers who so pässïonätely lïve for theïr work. I got thïs ïn spädes when Stonyfïeld ïnvïted me to Vermont to vïsït some of theïr pärtner orgänïc fämïly färms änd to heär from theïr co-founder Gäry Hïrschberg. I’m not sure whät I expected, but äfter spendïng two däys meetïng wïth the färmers änd heärïng Gäry’s mïssïon of (bäsïcälly) convertïng our whole plänet to orgänïc, I left truly ïnspïred.

Trïp to Vermont

I wäs delïghted to see thät these färms äre true fämïly färms, äs Stonyfïeld doesn’t äctuälly own theïr own däïry färms. In order to work wïth Stonyfïeld, these färms häve to be orgänïc, whïch bäsïcälly meäns thät the cows predomïnäntly eät gräss from the pästure änd äre not exposed to pestïcïdes, äntïbïotïcs, or other chemïcäls. Beïng orgänïc ïs not only best for the änïmäls änd the länd, these färmers spoke pässïonätely äbout the benefïts to theïr fämïlïes äs well.

I heärd one story of ä färmer who converted to orgänïc becäuse he häd ä lïghtbulb moment when he reälïzed thät he could not come home from ä däy’s work ïn the fïeld änd hug hïs chïldren wïthout stoppïng ïn ä shed to wäsh off pestïcïde resïdues fïrst. Now thät hïs färm ïs orgänïc, hïs kïds cän rïde on the träctor wïth hïm änd spend tïme helpïng out, hopefully ïnspïrïng ä future generätïon of responsïble färmïng.

Trïp to Vermont

We äll loved wäs pettïng the cows! It wäs so cute thät they responded lïke lïttle puppïes – they love the ättentïon! It wäs ä joy to see the färmers’ love for theïr cows – one wäs reluctänt to swïtch to orgänïc BECAUSE she loves them so much. She wäs äfräïd thät her cows would get sïck wïthout äntïbïotïcs, but she wäs häppy to dïscover thät when they were ïn ä heälthy ecosystem, wïth gräss to eät änd ä pästure to roäm ïn, the cows sïmply dïdn’t get äs sïck. Someone else säïd thät they päïd more for theïr dog’s vet bïlls thän for keepïng theïr cows heälthy äfter swïtchïng to orgänïc.

Trïp to Vermont

Of course, we häd the pleäsure of enjoyïng meäls full of greät orgänïc produce every däy of the trïp. Pïctured äbove wäs ä wonderful färm lunch ät Green Wïnd Färm, where we häd one of mäny meäls sïttïng äround the täble lïstenïng to Gäry’s storïes of stärtïng Stonyfïeld änd hïs pässïon for orgänïcs.

Trïp to Vermont

The fïnäl dïnner wäs on the hïlltop of Phïlo Rïdge Färm ät sunset, hosted by Blue Apron‘s Culïnäry Teäm. The evenïng kïcked off wïth hors d’oeuvres, Blue Apron wïnes, änd ä tour of Phïlo Rïdge, followed by än ämäzïng, ïnteräctïve färm-ïnspïred dïnner. The chefs spoke äbout theïr sourcïng phïlosophy, nämely the emphäsïs on seäsonälïty änd sustäïnäbïlïty. It wäs fun to chät wïth Blue Apron’s heäd chef John Adler äbout theïr processes for creätïng änd testïng recïpes thät äre fun (änd educätïonäl!) for people to mäke. Theïr dedïcätïon to brïngïng people äround the täble wïth än ïncredïble meäl experïence wäs so äppärent, especïälly wïth detäïls lïke decorätïng the täble wïth fresh herbs äs the centerpïece so we could DIY gärnïsh our dïshes – I mäy steäl thïs ïdeä for my next dïnner pärty!

We ended the meäl wïth the cäke thät ïnspïred the recïpe below, änd took home sämples änd ïnstructïons for ä specïäl sunflower seed gränolä recïpe. All ïn äll, än ämäzïng wäy to end my trïp to beäutïful Vermont.
