Milan and I harvested these carrots last week. Last year was our first year growing carrots and I love them! Not only are they fun to harvest and beautiful to look at, they are so incredibly sweet! My carrot seed for this spring arrived in today’s mail. I can’t wait! Sign up for our Farmshare program to […]
I decided recently that over the last ten years I (unknowingly) became an egg snob. Shortly after getting married I acquired my first laying hens. At first I simply no longer needed to buy eggs from the store. Before long though I made a conscious decision that I WOULD not buy eggs from the store. […]
I’m counting on the fact that so many of my friends are dog lovers and will understand this. Please share. My husband and I are dog people. That might have been the first thing we ever had in common. While my husband is a dog person though, he has merely put up with my need […]
We have finally used the last of the tomatoes we grew this fall in the high tunnel so last night I pulled the first bag of tomatoes out of the freezer to make tomato sauce. Heaven. As I work on my end of the year photo book at night, I’m bombarded with reminders of a […]

After a frustrating start to the week, an awful lot got done around here yesterday thanks to the help of the college students, the loan of a trailer from another farmer and Robert taking two afternoons off from work. Last year we bought a new piece of equipment for the farm that raises beds, lays […]

Check out the info on our 2014 CSA page to find out details about becoming a member of our 2014 CSA program that picks up weekly baskets of goodies directly from the farm. For those of you that want to pick up your baskets in Little Rock from Robert, […]
Since I missed posting anything about this project in September, I thought I better get some pictures up on it soon. We found out in May that we had been approved for a grant through the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) to help us put up a high tunnel on the farm. The objective of […]
