All Things Apple

It’s apple season! I like to eat apples year round, and buying them in season is a great way to save some cash. They can be stored in the fridge for several months, or turned into various products and canned. Such a versatile fruit! This year my roommate heard about Schweizer Orchard, located in St.Continue reading “All Things Apple”

Where I’ve Been!

The past six weeks have been filled with harvesting and preserving the abundance from my field.

Wondrous Wonderberry

When I first considered growing fruit I was intrigued by a listing for the Wonderberry. It seemed easy to grow and felt like a great first try for me. I purchased a packet from my favorite seed company (Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds) and have been astonished by the results. True to advertising, the plant grows muchContinue reading “Wondrous Wonderberry”

Spent the morning making bagels for next week's meals:
How to stay warm when the furnace goes out:
Sumatra refuses to stay inside while I check the farm animals - no matter the weather.
Warming beverages are a must after I suit up to check my animals in this bitter cold.
Last summer we had an electrician come out to replace an exterior box. After 4 winters struggling with power issues in the barn I'm now able to have pipe heat tapes, lights, and a water heater working at the same time.
The girls felt the slightly warmer temps - and no fresh snow today! - and left the coop for some fresh air.
