Welcome To The Farm!
Hey there! I’m Amber, i’m married to Doug, my childhood sweetheart and we’ve been blessed with 9 healthy boys! I love making delicious food from scratch for my family, strong coffee, dark chocolate, gardening, knitting and sunshine.
We have two dogs, three cats and a flock of chickens! Our first dog is a black Labrador retriever named Tank. He is often referred to as “old man”, is now a retired hunting dog and spends most of his days saving his energy for his next nap. Our second dog is a fox red Labrador retriever named Rusty, also known as Rust Bucket, Rusty Gold, or Bucket. His is the hunting dog in training. The farm cats help to keep the mouse population down. I guess they earn their keep!
We are loving all the farm fresh eggs from our chickens and have loved the crab apple jelly from our crab apple trees and boiling down sap from our handful of maple trees that we tap, into maple syrup! We tend a fairly large garden in the summer and enjoy or preserve all that we can while sharing some with friends and neighbors. We have plans of getting some pigs and cows in the future and planting some fruit trees!
Join me as I share some of my families favorite recipes and a little about life here at Sand Hill Farm!
