We’re so excited to be returning to our Foods by State series! These are always some of our favorites and this fourth installment was no exception. River was fighting back laughter when he discovered the main ingredient in Terran’s Food by State spin. What do you think? Are you up for a little (or not so little!) Geoduck? A Foods by State Reminder This episode is the fourth in a series called Foods by State. This is based on a list of crazy, unusual, or historic foods that have become associated with the states of our nation. Each state on the wheel comes with an assigned food that must be recreated by the spinner. River was the first to take the wheel and was awarded Wyoming’s Chuckwagon Breakfast. Terran spun next to discover that he would be working with his very own state’s unusual ingredient – Geoduck. Washington’s Geoduck Chowder Ingredients 4 pieces bacon, par-cooked and diced (keep the rendered fat) 1 cup clam juice ½ cup poached leeks – whites and greens 2 tablespoons minced shallots 4 cups + 2 cups cream ½ cup sour cream (optional) 1/2 cup sour cream One geoduck clam, cleaned and diced (see video for instructions) ½ cup potatoes diced and cooked ¼ cup chives, minced Salt and pepper to taste· Directions Preheat your broiler In a large pot, heat the bacon fat and use it to sauté the shallots. Add the bacon and clam juice, cook until it is reduced by half Add in 4 cups of cream, while continually stirring. Continue to cook until reduced by half again. Add in chopped geoduck clam, potatoes, leeks, chives, and 2 cups cream. We also opted to add sour cream. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Continue stirring while bringing the chowder to a boil. Place chowder under the broiler until golden brown. Washington’s Geoduck Chowder Ingredients Sausage of your choosing (approximately one pound) 1 pound hashbrowns 6 eggs, scrambled ½ to 1½ cups shredded cheese Directions Lightly oil frying pan and place on medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until browned Add hashbrowns and cook, stirring consistently, until well browned Lower heat to medium and add scrambled eggs, stirring over heat until eggs are fluffy and cooked through.

On this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran made the trek to pick up their very own honey bee colony. They purchased their nuk from Tate’s Honey Farm. Tate’s is located in Spokane, WA. It is a family-owned operation that was started in 1971. What You’ll Find at Tate’s Honey Farm In addition to nuks, honeybee packages, and queens, Tate’s sells a wide variety of products derived from the wax and honey produced by their own bee colonies. There are small gifts, candles, soaps, and of course lots of honey! While at the honey farm, River and Terran picked up a couple bottles of freshly extracted, raw honey so they could start getting creative with an ingredient they hope to be using much more in the near future. First, though, they had to take some time to move the frames from the nuk to their waiting hive box. They were fortunate to have the guidance of beekeeper Donna Mills. She guided them through the process, and you get a front row seat to the whole thing. Honey Oats Gran...
You might have noticed, when scrolling around the GoGreenfields’ website recently, a lot of mention about something called “Bubbles”. Bubbles is a collection of artworks created by River as a result of his year-long mural project. Both River and Terran spent a huge amount of time drawing on their bedroom walls, creating what is truly a spectacle for the eyes. The original artwork was created with watercolor markers. River decided, after some encouragement from his dad, Ben, to turn the drawings into digital artworks that could then be sold as NFTs. According to Forbes.com, An NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency. That’s a lot of words that may not be easy to understand. River and Terran spent several months, prior to launching Bubbles, learning about NFTs and cryptocurrency, which helped immensely when River decided to take on this project. Most of this...
Meet our accomplices for this Homemade Dog Treat Recipes episode of GoGreenfields—the taste testers! First, Dasher (aka. Dash) - the forever hungry attention seeker. We have no doubt that Dasher will love whatever dog treat recipe we throw at him. Second, Comet - the slightly camera-shy, kinda stubborn guy with a particular palate. Comet may be a little harder to please with dog treat recipes. Both of the pups have appeared on GoGreenfields in the past - usually in their preferred “begging pose” (we’re fairly certain that is or should be a yoga pose). This time, though, they get to serve in the role of “special guest”. In order to tempt these dog treat connoisseurs, River and Terran devised two different treats: oats and apple, and pumpkin peanut butter. For those who are wondering, our dogs are named after Santa’s reindeer! River’s Oats and Apple Dog Treat Recipe ¾ Rolled oats 2 cups oat flour (or pulverized rolled oats) 1 cup apple sauce 1 beaten egg (minus one Tablespoon...
What is the Microbiome? Before we can really talk about how amazing SEED is, we have to understand where it all began… where we all begin. From the moment our mothers birth us, they provide a special gift - a personalized microbiome. A microbiome, very generally speaking, is the community of microorganisms that live in a specified place. That place could be within the cellular structure of a tiny piece of coral reef. It could also be within your gut. Within all of us is a microscopic universe made up of 38 trillion bacteria. The bacteria are both good and bad - but, thankfully, mostly good. The very beginnings of our individualized universes are handed to us, at birth, by our mothers. Ara Katz was a new mom, sharing that singular gift with her own child when she started on a path that was much longer, and more winding than she could have possibly realized. She sought a superior supplemental formula to those on the market, but she found much more - a team as eager to learn, explore,...
River and Terran were super excited to see a package from Doc Parsley with their name on it. They grabbed their camera, so they could share the unboxing experience with you. Inside the box, they discovered some of Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy. They were familiar with the packaging that is so similar to the sleep remedy that their dad had been taking for quite some time, but these boxes were labeled “for kids”, and with heads full of questions, River and Terran set up Zoom for a meeting with the Doc himself! Meet the Doc Before jumping into the science of the sleep remedy, let’s take a moment to properly meet the founder. Doc Parsley, also known as Kirk Parsley, M.D. is a retired Navy SEAL. He joined the Navy upon graduation from highschool, at just seventeen years old. It was here that he first learned an appreciation for living in peak form. He had to be physically strong, of course, but he also had to be in a superior mental state in order to endure training and service as a SEA...
Can you believe that it’s already Easter?! We were surprised how fast time is moving, too, but that didn’t mean we forgot to prep for fantastic healthier Easter treats. River decided on a carrot cake with Karrot Krispie toppers and Terran opted for traditional Easter treats—glazed hot cross buns Healthier Easter Treats: Karrot Krispies with Vegan Marshmallows & All Natural Food Color Ingredients 8T butter 5 ounces vegan marshmallows Approximately 3-5 cups of krispie cereal Food color (optional) Fennel greens or other leafy herb to act as carrot tops Directions Melt the butter over low-medium heat Add marshmallows (use vegan marshmallows for healthier Easter treats) to the butter, reduce heat to low and stir consistently until marshmallows are fully melted. Remove from heat, and begin adding krispies, a little at a time, while folding them into the marshmallow mixture. Add a few drops of food color at a time and combine until you reach the desired color. This step is optional. Onc...
You may recall that on the last episode of GoGreenfields, we featured the first ever GoGreenfields’ Iron Chef at Home Competition, with the amazing US Wellness Meats providing our secret ingredient - pork butt. That was such an amazing episode, and we enjoyed filming it so much that we simply couldn’t resist reaching out to someone with a great deal more experience with the heat of battle in the kitchen. Meet the Real Iron Chef Beau MacMillan was certainly able to tell us a thing or two about what it means to win an Iron Chef competition. This real life Iron Chef received his crown in 2006, he took down none other than Bobby Flay in a Kobe Beef showdown. Chef Beau, commonly referred to as BeauMac, is nearly as familiar with television sets as he is with kitchen utensils. While his first love was always the craft of cuisine, he found fame on the small screen, appearing on shows such as Guy’s Grocery Games, Worst Cooks in America (fortunately not competing for the title, but rather...

River and Terran have a wonderful surprise for their viewers in this episode of GoGreenfields. Let’s tour the barn and make some goat cheese! River and Terran begin with their goat, Toffee, who is kind enough to supply the goat milk for the Greenfield family, since the birth of her baby goats – Lancelot and Brulee. Making Goat Cheese After milking Toffee, the twins head to the kitchen to demonstrate how goat cheese is made. For this process, you will need: Goat Milk Mesophilic Culture. It is ideal for making a variety of hard cheeses such as Monterey, Cheddar, Jack, Edam, and Gouda. Mesophilic is also the most common of two cultures, as it is used to produce the majority of cheeses that cannot be heated up to high temperatures. You must use a non-metallic bowl (we prefer ceramic). Animal Rennet. This is an enzyme used to form curds in the milk. Muslin Cheese Cloth Wooden Spoon 2 teaspoons salt Plastic wrap We hope that you’ll listen or watch, and make some goat cheese with us. Be...
