A bit about Sarah Buckley
I’m Sarah, originally based in Virginia (zone 7b), where I live with my family. I created Frolic and Fare in 2020 as a creative outlet during a season of constant change.
Because our family moves often, I wanted to build something meaningful that could grow alongside me wherever we landed. Frolic and Fare became a way to create continuity through creativity, developing seasonal recipes, cooking with garden grown ingredients, and sharing the beauty intentionally carved out in everyday moments.
My recipes are always inspired by the changing seasons. I’m especially drawn to fleeting, fragrant ingredients like fresh herbs and edible flowers. Much of my inspiration begins in the garden or on quiet walks outdoors. Whenever something starts to bloom, I can’t help but imagine the ways it might transform a recipe, pressed into decoration, steeped into syrup, or infused into sugar.
