Three Sisters Garden ~ Historical Companion Planti...

Blog: Wall Flower Studio Garden   -   Tuesday November 17, 2009   -   By Karen

This year at the Stanhope Discovery Museum, where I'm the garden's coordinator, we once again, planted a "Three Sisters Garden". Until I moved from Toronto, here to Haliburton County, I'd yet to hear about what a Three Sisters Garden actually was....

My Four-Legged Tiller, Part 2

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Wednesday October 14, 2009   -   By Chris

The frost has hit and the squash is done.  Sadness creeps into the picture as one looks around at the dying plants.  The sqash was commanding the garden mere days ago, but its leaves are now turning a sickly dark color.  The frost sneaks in...

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...

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...

Experimental Chickens

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Thursday September 10, 2009   -   By Emily

Today was another day of processing chickens.  While it's not my favorite job, I feel ok about it as our chickens, living a life on grass and in the sun, have a far more comfortable existence than those in factory farms.  I feel better about selling...

This Week At The Bluegrass Farmers' Market!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Thursday September 03, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

The kids are back in school, the weather folks keep telling us that the meteorological fall season has started, the pools have closed, windows are being opened and the AC is being turned off. What does that mean for the folks at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market? ...

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...

Hoping for Heritage Tomato Time

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Monday August 10, 2009   -   By Emily

The weather just has not cooperated for us this summer, and it seems like a month since I've been able to garden or make hay.  The plants seem to be loving it though, and I'm just hoping for a bit more sun so all these green tomatoes and ears of corn will...

Weekday Market Doings!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Monday August 10, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

I was sitting here this morning trying to think of a way to let folks know just how wonderful the Bluegrass Farmers' Market really is and I decided that I'd probably just tell you what went home with me at the end of Saturday's market. I can tell you, it...

August is almost here and we're loaded with goodie...

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Thursday July 30, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

  Saturday is almost here and from what I have seen, the Bluegrass Farmers' Market will be loaded with homegrown goodness once again! And, in case you didn't know, there is a difference between “local” and “homegrown!” The word “local” means that the...

What's happening Tuesday at the market!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Sunday May 31, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

What a beautiful day Saturday turned out to be. Mother Nature was very cooperative by holding off the rain until after the market and that meant that our shoppers could enjoy the sunshine as much as we did. Speaking of shoppers, it was wonderful to see so many...

More Babies...

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Thursday April 02, 2009   -   By Emily

After getting home from work, I checked Scotchie's nest box and she had 8 babies after all!  I am so excited that my first-time bunnies have been such good mamas.  Both Scotchie and her sister have raised 8 without any losses.  I am...

just around the corner

Blog: Pembroke Gardens   -   Sunday February 08, 2009   -   By Angie

Groundhog Day, Candlemas, Brigid, Feast of St. Blaise…. Did you notice that the days are getting just a little longer? February 2 marks the midway point between the first day of winter and the first day of spring. We’ve rounded the...

We're THINKING SPRING & SQUASH at Bloom Where You'...

Blog: Bloom Where You're Planted Farm   -   Monday January 26, 2009   -   By Teresa

The snow is coming down and there's no doubt it's winter outside.  Thankfully I'm inside today and thinking SPRING.  I got out my seed catalogs, last year's leftover seeds, and the list of what we bought in 2008 and sat down to place this...

Rare Old Apples that Taste like Roses -- Extinct a...

Blog: Friendly Haven Rise Farm   -   Tuesday November 25, 2008   -   By Jacqueline & Joseph

Our village was settled around the turn of the century by Swedish settlers who learned this land was for sale by reading handbills written in Swedish and nailed up in three east coast cities. Only Swedish folks could decipher the notices so it pretty much...
