7th Week of the 2013 Season
It seemed that this growing season was never going to get started after the month-long postponement at the beginning, due to weather conditions that just wouldn’t allow the garden to get growing. Now, we’re 7 weeks into the season and the garden is looking beautiful and we don’t even have weeds the size of trees … Continue reading
Recipes Aren’t My Specialty
I’m realizing more and more that as much as I love the idea of posting awesome recipes with gorgeous photos to boot, I’m just not there yet. Starting a farm from scratch is one thing. Raising children is another. Taking care of the household is another. Preparing homemade, nourishing meals is another. Doing all things … Continue reading
Saturday #6
Today was a ‘weigh your own red, yellow and purple new potatoes’ kind of day and for some it was a dig up your own new potatoes kind of day. After realizing that the potatoes didn’t quite stretch this morning (apparently the baskets were a bit heavier than we realized after the original weigh-in), I … Continue reading
Saturday #5
It’s hard to believe that we are already into our 5th week here for our CSA. WOW! As Elijah is napping and the rain is falling and The Farmer is relocating the pigs, so that he can relocate the chickens and I’m dreaming about a clean kitchen (the dishes are dirty which usually happens at least 3 … Continue reading

Turnips, Betsy and Sugar Snap Peas
Sugar Snap Peas are falling off the vines… kind of. We actually have to pick them, but we had pounds and pounds and pounds of them last week and I’m so glad, because I love to munch on their crunchy sweet pods. MMmmmm… We were diligent to pick the peas on time this year, since … Continue reading
3rd Week is a Charm
The skies poured out crazy rain and the temps dropped overnight, making for an overcast, ‘I want to stay in bed all day’ kind of morning (at least for me). However, as The Farmer, Elijah and I were eating breakfast and heading out of the front door to the garden/pick-up hut, I got more and … Continue reading
There was a Farmer who had a donk…ey
And JOSIE was her name…ey After a good old fashioned game of post the name on the donkey, The Farmer chose ‘Josie.’ Despite Elijah’s vote for ‘Khaki’ and my vote for ‘Anita Bonita’ and the other amazing entries like: ‘Theodora Little Neck Williams’, ‘Grazerella’, ‘Bill’ (someone didn’t get the ‘it’s a girl!’ memo or didn’t … Continue reading
Saturday Morning
Saturday morning was another beauty here in Savannah. The gnats were a bit out of control and the coconut/himalayan cedarwood oil combo was a big hit, to keep those pesky bugs from biting. Aside from the bugs, we really enjoyed seeing some of our favorite people and sharing the harvest this week, which included: Dinosaur … Continue reading
Our 1st On-Farm Pick-up EVER!!!
Friends, I’m still reminiscing about the delicious arugula salad that we had for lunch on Saturday afternoon and about the incredible Saturday morning that just passed. We had a great time! As you may know, after moving the farm to Savannah in December, we decided to nix the Hull Park CSA delivery and offer on-farm … Continue reading
