Life On The Farm
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
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
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
Postponed
In case you’ve been wondering why we haven’t given you an inside glimpse of our CSA this year, it’s simply because we haven’t started yet. We had the best intentions to begin this pick-up season the very first Saturday in March and we have quickly realized that our plans are not always going to ‘succeed.’ … Continue reading
Donkey, Donkey
Elijah’s best little buddies, Gressett and Mcree have a fun, blue toy donkey (almost like a rocking horse without the rocking) that they can jump on and ‘ride’ and when they do, I can hear them (especially Mcree) yelling: ‘Donkey, Donkey!’ as only a 2 year old can. As I laugh thinking about all … Continue reading
Did you pray for this?
Our dear friend, Joe, called yesterday to ask the Farmer if he prayed for rain. The Farmer replied, “No, Joe. I have irrigation.” I don’t know why I thought that so funny. The truth is, we have prayed for rain in the past. Just not this time. This time, The Lord gave us rain without … Continue reading
Who’s Who on the Farm?
Hi friends! Today we’re going to play a little game called Name that Face! Let’s see if you can recognize some of Urbanna’s Finest: The next one is the face behind all of the fabulous recipes that were posted last season and the ones to be posted this season as well! She’s The Farmer’s … Continue reading
Settling In
We’ve been Savannah residents for about 3 weeks now. 1 week was just spent in Omaha, Nebraska with Andy’s (The Farmer) relatives. We had a wonderful visit and Elijah got to eat some snow, but now we’re ‘back to business.’ Our last 3 turkeys have all been eaten, since we moved in and I don’t mean by us. … Continue reading
ALL DONE (week 30)
“All done” is one of Elijah’s favorite and most frequent statements. I can’t believe it but we are ‘all done’ with our 2012 growing season. We are super greatful to all our members and fans for participating, or just watching from a distance, as we grew this year. It’s been a wild ride for me, … Continue reading
