A Year At Clove Brook Farm A Entertaining Book

Welcome to a year of sustainable living with renowned ceramicist Christopher Spitzmiller, advice and inspiration for seasonal entertaining, gardening, tending heritage chickens, and more.

Christopher Spitzmiller is known to his many friends and Instagram fans as the ultimate weekend farmer, who raises his chicks, grows his flowers and puts up his jam, cider, and honey. In his first book, he treats readers to a full year at his country retreat, Clove Brook Farm. The book begins with spring organized into four seasons: the lilacs and apple blossoms, the dovecote with Indian fantail pigeons, Easter lunch with daffodils and porcelain, and Spitzmiller's recipe for rhubarb pie. Summer brings hydrangeas, dahlias, readying the chickens for the Dutchess County Fair, and a garden cocktail party. Fall focuses on collecting, cider making, an orchard luncheon, a Thanksgiving table, honey-gathering, and planting bulbs. Finally, winter closes the book with holiday decorating, gilding allium, a holiday buffet, and homemade gifts.

An entertaining book filled with tips on creating beautiful seasonal flower arrangements, living with animals, and garden planning. It is a wonderful resource and gift for anyone longing for farmstead living and entertaining,
