Teenagers, pampered housecats, and large dogs who howl at every passing train, logging truck, and SUV that pulls into the drive. Of these, the most vicious are no doubt the teenagers. We have a horse, too, but he has an apartment uptown.

For nearly two centuries, Cahoon Farm, located in the Northeast Kingdom of the beautiful state of Vermont, was a indeed a working, thriving farm, raising at various times on its several hundred acres cattle, Morgan horses and assorted crops, including early in its colonial history, potatoes, from which I understand a fairly potent vodka was distilled. However, the farm now consists of eight acres and the large, Georgian-style homestead, built in 1798, an enclave against, shall we say, “progress.”

Every spring, I imagine what should be done with the remaining bit of rolling field behind the house. I have considered raising a handful of sheep, a dairy cow or two, or a few graceful, mystical alpacas. There was talk briefly of water buffalo, but I came to my senses on that. In all likelihood, we’ll eventually plant Christmas trees. The problem with this plan is that I will almost certainly be unable to cut down a tree I’ve watched grow from a seedling. I suspect the place will one day turn into a sort of Christmas tree commune, where conifers of every denomination, variation of green and width of branch can live in peace and harmony . . .Cahoon Farm Bread and Onions online foodletter Sicilian recipes cahoon farm bread and onions foodletter italian recipes culinary creations Northeast Kingdom Vermont vermont recipes holiday and seasonal menus recipes for the home cook food column Cookbooks Bread and Onion recipes online cookbooks italian recipes cookbook bread and onions cookbook Hamburgers with Sautéed Mushrooms and Cheddar Cheese Oven Roasted Pork Spare Ribs Lime and Garlic Chicken Thighs Simple Spicy Navy Beans Sautéed New Potatoes with Bacon and Onion Old-fashioned Chopped Salad Chocolate Rum Cake Apple, Raisin and Walnut tart cahoon farm bread and onions Cahoon Farm Vermont Denise Brown Bread and Onions

We do of course plant a garden each spring, mostly for the entertainment value and character building earned through dealing with horticultural misfortunes such as ridiculously late frosts, the yearly plague of yucky slugs, and swarms of the ever-popular Japanese beetle. Our first summer here, we planted a small orchard of cherry, apple and pear trees. However, ice, rodents, sheer ineptness, and a car that veered off the road one snowy midnight have dwindled the numbers down to a hardy if rather surly and unproductive handful. (This very year, hope springing eternal, we planted a dozen and a half more apple trees. Wish us luck.) Every spring I do grow a small patch of herbs, flowers for cutting, hot peppers, and too many tomatoes. The results are mixed, though I will say I do very well with parsley. Still, how much parsley can a person eat?

Is Cahoon Farm really haunted? GHOSTS?

Yes. I do believe so. Not that we’re overrun with spirits, mind you, or that we’ve experienced visitations so shocking as to warrant an investigation by Prime Time, but over these last two centuries, the old house has been an occasional rest stop for folks who seem to travel between two worlds.

What’s the deal with the recipes?

Cooking, with a largely Mediterranean bent, has been a lifelong obsession of mine, fueled by a Sicilian heritage courtesy of my mother, and a discerning family who, oddly, expects to be fed on a regular basis. Some years ago, with modest though sweet rewards, I had written a weekly food column for a community paper in Connecticut. I very much enjoyed sharing recipes with readers and friends. II’m now lucky enough to write for North Star Monthly and Vermont Woman. The recipes offered on this site are the offspring of a love of writing and that obsession with good food, tempered by the constant challenge of pulling yet another rabbit out of the hat for dinner day after day on something that approaches a budget.
