- Inga: To prepare for my own Soil Sisters potluck,
I invited over my favorite Soil Sister, my mom,
to make her famous homemade crackers.
Making crackers at home is so easy and so delicious.
And here is exactly how we did it.
- All right, so let's start.
We're gonna do one cup of rye flour
and one cup of just whole wheat flour.
And to that, Inga is going to add her pinches
to make it a good half a teaspoon.
- Of salt or everything? - Of salt.
- Inga: Oh, good. - Cynthia: Okay.
1/4 cup of olive oil.
Sesame seeds are actually so good.
With this cracker recipe,
anything that you like can go in it:
flaxseed, chia, sunflower seeds.
Or pepitas.
- Inga: And then cranberries.
- Hot water, 2/3 cup of really, I've been using very hot water.

And the two pieces of paper.
- Right here, parchment.
[gentle acoustic music]
- I'm just cutting, picking this away.
So I'm going to go.
I'm not going all the way through.
- Inga: You're scoring. - Cynthia: Scoring it.
Yes, thank you.
And then I'll score this way.
Poke holes.
Now this is-- - Salt.
- This is my favorite part.
- And now we're gonna put these in the oven at 350, 375?
- Let's go 375 for 15 minutes, flip 'em,
add 10 minutes, check.
When these edges are getting browned,
you really gotta pull it out quick.
- Inga: When the crackers were ready, we used them
to round out a spectacular cheese and charcuterie board.

I was so inspired by everything
that I learned about the Soil Sisters
that I decided to invite them up to my own farm.
[uplifting music]
To celebrate all the great things that happen
when women in agriculture come together
to share ideas,
support each other,
and enjoy a delicious meal made with our own hands.
[group chatting]
[group laughing]
Well, I hope this has inspired you
to invite some lovely ladies out for a potluck.
And I hope you'll gather with us next time,
- In unison: Around the Farm Table!
- I'm your host, Inga Witscher.
- All: Cheers!
