Azure Farm’s
HOLIDAY RECIPES from the Homestead
BY KIM ANTELL AND ANNETTE THURMON
Sixty miles north of Atlanta, outside the small town of Adairsville, Annette Thurmon and her husband, Jared, started Azure Farm to embrace slowing down to enjoy the simple things in life and getting back to the basics. The homestead— home to several charismatic alpacas, a mixed flock of fowl, cats, and donkeys—has given the family a sense of peace and a perfect place to raise a family outside the bustle of city life. One of Annette’s passions is creating and sharing garden-to-table vegan recipes that anyone can incorporate into their meal planning. She’s co-written several cookbooks that are available on the homestead’s website (azurefarmlife.com). And for this issue, her favorite holiday recipes are gracing our pages, and our tables, this gathering season! Classics like homemade hot cocoa and pumpkin pie from scratch are staples, while her Cast Iron Olive and Lentil Pie and Skillet Vegetable Pot Pie are new to most of us, so give them a try and let us know what you think!
