New Life on the Farm

Our first little calf arrived about 2 weeks ago.

Monday four more made their appearance and yesterday a sixth was born.

New life is always exciting. It's fun to watch them bounce and run...

2011 Has Begun!

Ok, I know you know that we're already well into the year 2011, but I want you to know too that the 2011 Garden has also begun ...

---- the bedding plants are ordered -- and some are already seeded!


(this is last year's stock picture, but you get the idea, right?!)

---- the seed list is made, some are ordered, some are still on the list ... which begs the question:

Is there anything you would specifically like to see in this year's baskets? Or on the market stand?

Some of the new things we're planning for this year are turnips & butternut squash. We'll also try again with the cruciferous veggies like cabbage, broccoli & cauliflower in another attempt to "beat the bugs". Our research has turned up another non-chemical defense ... we'll see how it works!

Final CSA Baskets #'s 18 & 19

Our final two weeks worth of garden produce were delivered this last Friday. With the killing frosts taking our gardens earlier than normal, we are quite pleased that the hardier greens and winter storage veggies were available in ample supply to fill the baskets.

It was a challenge to come up with ideas to add to each basket, but we trust that it is also reasonable & pleasurable as well as being sustenance for your families.

The fresh ground organic whole wheat flour is a staple at our house. If you have never used whole wheat, give it a try with the bag that was added to your baskets. Be sure to store unused flour in the fridge or freezer as the fresh ground flour is susceptible to going rancid. Be sure to notice the two recipes that I posted earlier for Chiffon Cake & Buttermilk Whole Wheat Waffles.

The cherries are great fresh frozen, in smoothies or made into sauce and used in recipes some of which are also posted earlier.

Our twins picked up the pinecones earlier in summer & bagged them to add to the basket for you to enjoy in the upcoming Christmas holiday season.


The thyme plant can be kept indoor for the winter providing your family with this aromatic fresh herb. Then plant it outdoors in the spring to let it grow & thrive in a little spot on your yard. It is a perennial so it will keep on giving great flavor & health!

Finally, the bag of potatoes should help to feed you families for a while yet. Hopefully it makes up for another basket worth. We do not have storage for root vegetables ... yet! So we shared it with you.

Whole Wheat Chiffon

Another favorite way to use whole wheat flour ... then again this recipe does well with most any type of flour. Give it a try.

Whole Wheat Waffles

Whole wheat flour makes wonderful waffles.

Buttermilk WW Waffles

3 eggs, separated
1/2 c. cooking oil
2 c. buttermilk
3-4 c. flour
1 Tbsp. honey/sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Separate eggs. Beat whites until stiff.. Use mixer to mix egg yolks, oil & buttermilk. Combine dry ingredients then add into liquid mixture. Mix only until the batter is smooth, then fold in the whipped egg whites.
Bake in hot waffle iron. Makes 10-12 4"x4" waffles.

Top with ice cream or whipping cream & cherry sauce ... any which way. They're yummmm!
