So it’s another food post. I am crazy proud of what we have been able to accomplish on the farm this year, considering how little we knew about how to to do when we moved here. We figured we’d learn as we go, and boy have we ever. I’m going to have a gem of [...]
So I’ve been trying to blog weekly. So far I’m failing. I have a couple of half written posts in my drafts, but instead of finishing one of them I’m going to tell you about our escapee pig. Not the first time escapees, those ones are in our freezer now, but the Tuesday escapee. Tuesdays [...]
The last few days have been garden intensive. Friday I dug up potatoes, and cut and processed swiss chard to freeze. Saturday I dug up potatoes, pulled up onions, and weeded. Today (Sunday) I braided onions for storage, collected the potatoes that were drying in the dirt, gathered the Zucchini and Summer squash that were [...]
Last night’s blog post was neglected, as I was canning peaches. Yes, the peaches from the farmers market from a few posts back. I’ve made apple jelly before, but never whole fruit. So after picking up 30 lbs of peaches (that seemed right, though I had no idea), some pickling cucumbers and some supplies 2 [...]
Today Lindsay came over. She brought Lettuce from her garden that had gone bitter to feed to the pigs. While we all were in the pig pen watching them trot around, and munch on her goodies she said, “That little black guy doesn’t look like he’s grown” ‘I don’t think he has much, and he [...]
I’m a little of most things, and hardly all about one. I’m a co sleeping, baby wearing, breast feeding ,natural birthing mama, but like Janine said “If people like that were an army Kim would be a general.” I’ve been about eating clean, organic, less processed foods for some time, but I don’t have the [...]
Liam I’m in. So it’s summer blogging challenge, so 30 posts in 30 days. While trying to think about what to write about today there was so much to say. Seems there’s never anything new going on in my life, but when I thought about what to write there is plenty. My Grandmother is dying [...]
So Jenn arrived with 12 layers for us today, it’s rainy and windy, but I’m so excited! So far we’ve collected eight eggs today and only one was dropped by a five year old girl.
When we moved here there was the acreage dream. Out in the rural, living on our land our way, the freedom of space to do the things we want. This spring it’s starting to come together, I hope it’s just the start. The start of what? Of organic home grown produce, fall canning, chickens in [...]
Picture two little naked cartoon people at my farm. SO the moving sucked, it really is a big job for a family of five to move all of their stuff, especially when three of them can’t really do any good helping, but are marvelous at getting in the way, and the other grown up is [...]
