Gold & Jewels from the Fields

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Saturday October 24, 2009   -   By Emily

Although the season of delicious corn on the cob is long past here, field corn season is taking its turn as the main farm job.  We planted quite a few acres of field corn in the spring to feed the animals over the winter.  Unlike sweet corn, field...

Iron deficits, and how to fix them

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Monday October 05, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

I have suffered with low Iron for 9 (diagnosed) years, and probably many before then. This is what a small scrape will look like only hours afterwards if my Iron is low.  This scrape was barely noticable when it happened. When I had our...

Good Help- Ground Beef Specials

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Wednesday September 30, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

Well, we live in the middle of nowhere.  When I drive out to go check cows, this is my view for about 2 miles. I enjoy living out in the country, but it is hard to find good help.  But, having a family farm, means that I DO have some...

Spruce Pine, NC Farmers' Market this Wednesday

Blog: The Mushroom Hut @ Fox Farms   -   Wednesday September 23, 2009   -   By Alan and Susan

We had perfect weather at the market today!  It has been rainy for the past few weeks. We are seeing the last of the tomatoes, corn and berries.  Vendors had leeks, onions, pepper, salad mix greens, herbs (and herb teas as well!), LOTS of baked...

Moving Cows

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Wednesday September 23, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

We moved cows the other day.  I thought that I would share some of the beautiful views.  This is one of my most favorite views on the earth.  Cows out front moving together to new fresh grass. Beau is on a Quarter Horse we raised...

Falls' Harvest has begun

Blog: The Mushroom Hut @ Fox Farms   -   Saturday September 19, 2009   -   By Alan and Susan

It seems as though summer and it's bounty is slipping away only to be followed by the Fall Harvest.  It is sad to see one season pass but at the same time it is very exciting to see what the next season will bring! Today we started collecting our pumpkins...

Auctions and Old Equipment

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Friday September 18, 2009   -   By Emily

Dan and I love going to auctions.  Lately, we haven't been to many as most farm auctions start at 9 AM on Saturdays, which is our mad rush to get the stand in order before opening.  So I was very excited to find an "old farm moving auction"...

Bluegrass Farmers' Market Happenings!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Thursday September 10, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

September is one of my favorite months of the year. Most of the warm summer crops are still available at the farmers market and some of the cooler fall crops are starting to make an appearance. It just doesn't get any better than that! We can all...

Cutting Corn

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Wednesday September 09, 2009   -   By Emily

The corn is put up for the year, one more task to mark as "done" on the to-do list.  Two bushels seems sufficient for my husband and myself.  Though a little time consuming, I really love my vaccuum sealer for putting up food.  I used...

Saving the Harvest

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Monday September 07, 2009   -   By Emily

On a grey day like this morning, I'm reminded that dreary days in fall and winter won't be far behind.  It gives me extra incentive to put up what I can for those cold months when growing anything that won't fit on a windowsill is impossible.  So the...

Huevos Rancheros

Blog: Cookus Interruptus   -   Sunday September 06, 2009   -   By Cynthia

The farmer's markets are rich with peppers, tomatoes, corn and farm fresh eggs.  Put it altogether and make brunch for a friend or two.  Huevos Rancheros.  I want some now.  

Giant Corn

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Thursday September 03, 2009   -   By Chris

This is the largest ear of corn that I have ever seen! There is indeed something to be said for heirloom seeds... And oh the taste! Yummy.

This year's corn crop

Blog: Twin Creeks Farms- Wesley Stephens and Bethany Stephens   -   Monday August 24, 2009   -   By Wesley and Bethany

We are finishing up this year's corn crop. We had a good growing season and our corn turned out very well. We cut most of it for silage and saved some to pick as ear corn. The heirloom variety we planted- Boone County White- produced some very tall stalks and...

Bluegrass Farmers' Market Goodness!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Monday August 24, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

It's Monday morning and here I sit trying to think of the best way to let folks know what wonderful items are available this week at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market. I don't want to just post a list because that seems so boring. It finally came to me...how about...

Back from FAIR!!!

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Tuesday August 18, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

WOW!! This summer has flown by!!  State Fair is over, and I'm ready for an Indian Summer (or a continuation of our cool summer).   Fair went well.  My little cowgirl showed her first calf at State Fair & did a great job!  She...

Bluegrass Farmers' Market "Taters" 101!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Monday August 17, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

I grew up thinking a potato was a potato...something you mashed and served with gravy. Or, you fried them to have with your eggs for breakfast. An extra special treat was a trip to a fast food for the occasional burger and “fries!” My mom used to boil small...

Corn, Maters'n Beans!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Thursday August 13, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

It just doesn't get any better than that! Unless you add the wonderful squash, peppers, taters and cucumbers too! Heck, throw in some onions, garlic and even some broccoli! Of course you can't forget the wonderful blackberries, raspberries and rhubarb! ...

Well we started our  Farmers Market Last week with a BIG SPLASH (Literally) I had 15 Farmers & Craftsmen ready and excited the night before, 4 came and 2 actually stayed. You could not complain, especially in front of produce farmers, about...
