piglet sausage available soon

Blog: Anonymous Farm   -   Thursday November 19, 2009   -   By Risha

Four of our eight little piggies were taken to the processor this week. Hana and her friend Skylar are saying goodbye along with our reverse herd dog Aggie. When the piglets escaped last month Aggie wasn't the best herding dog, she kept scattering th...

Obesity & Diabetes – A Growing Epidemic That Fresh...

Blog: Christopher Ranch   -   Monday November 09, 2009   -   By Justin

Like garlic, all sugars are not created equal. At last week’s joint hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Obesity and Diabetes, “Exploring The Link Between Sugar-Sweetened Drinks & Obesity,” we heard how different sugars in different forms...

Blog: Christopher Ranch   -   Tuesday October 13, 2009   -   By Justin

  I hate being sick. I rarely come down with anything – knock on wood – but am recovering from a recent case of bronchitis. Apparently, my body does not appreciate it when I don’t sleep, sacrifice food, talk too much and indulge in one...

Happy chickens

Blog: Miolea Organic Farm   -   Wednesday September 23, 2009   -   By Brian

I read that more and more of us are starting backyard chicken pens.  If you've ever had a fresh egg you can understand why.  We read a lot about raising chickens, specifically layers, before we actually took the leap.  As I've lamented...

Blog: Double R Farm (Amish Country Soaps & Sundries)   -   Saturday September 12, 2009   -   By Christine

Normally if I have a comment to a post I will just send a short reply, but John’s post on women over 40 carrying this country to freedom got me thinking more about where we as a country are headed. In Sugarcreek have been dealing with serious blows to our...

Food For Thought

Blog: Christopher Ranch   -   Thursday September 10, 2009   -   By Justin

I had breakfast next to Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon yesterday. True, this has absolutely nothing to do with garlic or my post, but I can’t stop thinking about it and thought it was a good attention grabber. Okay – it’s out of my...

Thankfully Picking Peppers in the Rain

Blog: Double R Farm (Amish Country Soaps & Sundries)   -   Tuesday September 08, 2009   -   By Christine

I guess rain would not be an appropriate description of the weather here in Sugarcreek. We actually have more of a drizzling of liquid sunshine. In a way the gentle rain is fitting as we deliver the last of the our CSAs this week. A time of year for us that is...

Blog: Christopher Ranch   -   Wednesday August 19, 2009   -   By Justin

Watch What You Eat – Not How Far You Jog. And Eat ...

Blog: Christopher Ranch   -   Friday August 14, 2009   -   By Justin

The title on the cover of this week’s Time , “Why Exercise Won’t Make You Thin,” jumped out at me like the boogie man when I was perusing Barnes & Noble yesterday. What?!! I stared in disbelief. Have I really been living a lie? Those six...

Herbs For Men..We Didn't Forget About You

Blog: Morgan Botanicals   -   Monday June 29, 2009   -   By Jessica

Men seem to fall on the way side to women and children so often in herbal healing. But, from the heart to the prostate, ulcers , and even the common cold, herbs can play an important role on men's health. I have three men in my life; two are just babies, but...

What about the pigs?

Blog: MM Livestock Co   -   Monday June 08, 2009   -   By Megan

I've had a lot of questions recently about why we have a sister farm raising our pigs. Well, there are a lot of reasons, the most important one being it is better for them to be raised within a reasonable distance of a USDA slaughter facility. If we raised the...

Blog: St. Fairsted Farm   -   Thursday January 15, 2009   -   By Ang

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Thursday November 20, 2008   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

This also from July 2005. What a crappy couple of months it ended up being. Another note -- I complain about $290/mo insurance being devastating -- with a deductable of $10,000. Try $15,000 deductable and $550/month. That is robbery. I think soon we will join...
