January in November?

November 16, 2019 – 6:48 pm

Triage seems overly dramatic. Squirreling away too proactive and everyday. How to describe the stimulating challenge of bringing everyone and everything in out of winter’s way? Did our ancestors read the skies and feel the press and know to scurry? Our team, like all sorts of folks who work outside, triangulated weather apps during lunch. […]

Seasonal Transitions

October 24, 2019 – 11:58 am

Yes, that is the nice tidy phrase for lots of work on our farm! September was generously sunny and warm, making some of the work a bit easier, but still long, hard and did we mention heavy! And October has brought all sorts of weather (though no snow yet!). We have been plugging away to […]

Humbling

June 5, 2019 – 1:54 pm

Farming is certainly humbling. We are seemingly constantly reminded that we are not actually in control. We are just trying to responsibly and opportunistically shepherd elements of nature in our favor to produce nutritious, delicious food. But Nature, in all its forms, holds most of the cards. Weather is perhaps the most obvious one and […]

Thanks be to the Sugar Makers

April 10, 2018 – 11:46 am

That is to the Maple Sugar Makers.  Sugaring season is sometimes short, sometimes long, always weather dependent and such a clear marker of the transition between Winter and Spring.  We are both thankful to not have good maples on our property to tap and for all those near us that do!         […]

Yes, famous dogs and cats is our naming scheme this year and Paw Patrol was suggested by our niece while at Auntie Camp this summer.  (Of course we thought she was saying “Papa Troll” and kept asking if there was a dog involved). Anyway,  the group of 10 piglets we bought from Hogwash Farm this […]
