Remember those nasty winds not too long ago? Well the greenhouse was not a fan. Tore off the entire plastic roof. One more thing has been added to the honey do list! Maple season has arrived. We’ve only had an initial boil and a little bit of collecting today. Hopefully we will be boiling again… Continue reading Roofless & Exposed: Our greenhouse took a hit!

Read Books!
For some reason I was really into reading books in 2024. I read 34. For me that is super good. Mind you, this is for pleasure reading only. What I discovered is that I really like listening to audio books. Which I find interesting since I’ve always gravitated towards holding a book and flipping the… Continue reading Read Books!

Checking In
Finally, the time to slow down has arrived. Fall is my favorite season. I’ve been busy canning the last of things I needed to get done, potatoes, chicken soup, and venison hamburg.

So with that being said, here’s our plan for this year. Farm Stand We will have a farm stand open Sundays through Wednesdays, probably 10-7.

Hot Plate – What is it?
I recently learned about Hot Plate – an on-line menu for preorders. So I dug in to check it out. Bakers/chefs create a weekly menu and make it live. You order what you want and pick up on a specific day. I’ve been testing this out for a bit. It’s pretty cool. Although I do… Continue reading Hot Plate – What is it?
What are the produce codes on fruits & vegetables?
