Veg is great.... but flowers from the garden.... they make me smile!

Green Beans

As I speak my husband stands in the kitchen washing green beans.  So far he's canned 26 quarts.  And tonight, we plan to put up another 14. Whew!!  Canning our own food definitely gives me a whole new appreciation for what my parents have done for us, and what my grandparents did for them.  But all the work is worth -- there is no small bit of satisfaction in opening up home-canned organically-grown green beans to feed your children all year round!  And hopefully one day they will realize how much love went into every jar we put up to feed them.

From our garden to your table

Our first produce "basket" of the summer has been sold!  And we've also taken our first standing order.  Hopefully Farmer Allen will be starting a weekly or bi-weekly email to let everyone know what produce and herbs we are picking each week so you can let us know if you are intersted and in what.  Shoot me your email address to make sure you are on our distribution list!!  We are looking forward to a good crop this summer and being able to share it with our community. 

Summer

Squash and zucchini have arrived.... I cannot put into words how delicious my husband's tempura fried squash is.  That's is when my mouth really knows summer has arrived!  The girls have been in raspberry heaven, and we've even managed to salvage a few strawberries that the bunnies and/or other creatures have over-looked.  Yesterday I went to the salon and got myself a summer 'do!  10+ inches gone and donated (and much over-do!)  I am now ready to put in some serious pool time!!  Maybe one day the Farm will have it's own swimming pool, because I definitely leave the pond to the dogs!
