123. Seasonal Eating: Spring Edition | Erin Worrall of The Cedar Chest Farm

With the first official day of spring right around the corner, I am getting so excited to welcome spring into my kitchen. There is nothing like cutting fresh herbs from my garden, gathering eggs from my hens, collecting milk from my cow. In today’s episode, Erin and I discuss the many ways that seasonal eating can be accessible to all of us. Whether or not you have a garden or farm animals of your own, you can find ways to eat seasonally and source your food locally. With all of our modern conveniences, we don’t have to eat seasonally, but Erin and I make a case for why you might want to consider eating this way. There is so much beauty to be found in living in rhythm with the seasons.

In this episode, we cover:

Starting a spring garden
Why it matters to eat seasonally
What changes we make in our kitchens in the spring
Farm animals’ production in spring
How to approach meal planning when eating seasonally
Incorporating bread baking into your daily routine
Sourdough troubleshooting
Living a homesteading lifestyle even if you don’t live on a homestead
Where to start sourcing local, seasonal food
Preserving and storing seasonal food
