Whew! Last night was my third sales event in less than a month. It’s been a hectic season as I work to care for nearly 100 animals, clean up the fields for winter, and start expansion projects. With sales events done for the year (delivery on Wednesdays still available!) I’m hoping to catch my breath … More Time to catch my breath

I’m often asked why I choose to deliver my products – fresh eggs, produce, and canned goods – to my clients instead of joining a CSA or participating in a farmer’s market.

If you’d like to guarantee a weekly egg order in 2018, consider renting a chicken or duck! Rent-A-Chicken 2018 A $50 deposit rents a … More Rent a Chicken (or Duck!) 2018
Four years ago I was pretty sick and found it impossible to get warm. In desperation I modified a Christmas stocking pattern into socks and haven’t stopped since. You can make a pair with a crochet hook, a couple skeins of yarn, and a few hours time — or contact me to order a custom set! … More Sock Season
I love hitting the goals I set for my business – especially when they happen more quickly than I anticipate.

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. … More All Things Apple
The past six weeks have been filled with harvesting and preserving the abundance from my field.

Having lost half of my tomato plants to early spring rains, then … More Where I’ve Been!
Salsa made with homegrown herbs and veggies is an explosion of flavor that will change your life. I love adding a bit to scrambled or fried eggs, topping beans and rice with it, or scooping it up with my favorite tortilla chip. Preserving my salsa means easy fall/winter meals of chili – just add a … More Salsa
