Hi, I’m Tracy, founder of Undermountain Pantry and your guide to nourishing and delicious seasonal cooking.
Over the years I’ve been lucky to be a farmer, cook and educator rooted in a little valley here in Falls Village, CT. My work has always been to share the beauty of the land through the foods we eat whether that is growing vegetables for CSAs or farmers markets, cooking for intimate farm to table dinners or guiding folks through the joys or preparing a meal with friends. I’ve taken this spirit of conviviality - of the joy that comes through connecting with others around the table into my latest endeavor Undermountain Pantry.
The heart of our home, the kitchen, hosts a cottage micro bakery featuring sourdough breads and baked goods. The kitchen is also now open to intimate, hands on cooking classes. Classes often begin in the garden harvesting fresh vegetables for our recipes. Tips on techniques, kitchen tools and sourcing local sustainable ingredients are mixed with a hearty dose of fun creating memorable meals that are enjoyed at the end of each session.
The Pantry strives to work in partnership with local farms to bring to best ingredients to the community.
Stay in touch about weekly bakes and upcoming classes through the newsletter or send me an email! I’d love to chat!

How it began….
I first came to this valley in 2003, invited by Kay and Bill Schrenk to create a CSA on their land at Beavertides Farm. In the early days here on Cobble Road I co-founded Chubby Bunny, the much loved CSA in the greater Falls Village community and raised two hearty farm kids, Beatrice and Baxter. This was a rich and fertile time for my relationship with the land as my children grew amongst the fields of vegetables.
