August 27, 2018 Talk of Diversity

It’s just like heirloom tomatoes; this is heirloom music. We used to have all kinds of diversity in our poultry, in our vegetables, in our fruits, and slowly but surely the monoculture beast comes in. I’m saying that’s not a good idea. And if it means that I gotta do it on my own, then I do it on my own.

Dear Friends,
     Boy o boy, what a busy week-end ‘trying’ to get a lot done on the farm while there’s a little bit of cloud cover.  I don’t care how much water you drink, it’s still miserable working in the sun.  Did I mind it so much years ago?  can’t remember.  The coyotes last night put me over the edge though.  They were out in full force.  Getting up in the middle of the night to check the chickens and the goats didn’t help either.  So that’s my excuse for being late this morning with the items list.  There’s refreshing fruit for your week and ingredients for easy cooking.  Don’t be dismayed by the collards.  They’re as easy to cook as spinach, only longer cooking time, and the last of the crop.  Here’s an easy recipe:
     Don’t forget to order from our latest batch of  local honey.  One person ordered last week and I do my best to support other local food producers but can’t do it alone.  Let’s keep the bees busy and support them!
      Vacation time is here for many and our military families are always grateful to receive your share.  Just drop us a note when you’ll be gone and we’ll see it’s given for good use.
 Here’s to good food, friends, families and helping others.
     Call or email me if you have questions or need cooking tips.
     May our food this week nourish, comfort and sustain you.
