Some of you who visited last fall will remember Frannie, our tortoise-shell cat who was just a kitten at the time. She made some good friends during the pumpkin season, so I wanted to share some current photos and tell a little about how Frannie...

I'm the first to admit that I'm a procrastinator and very good at putting off the paperwork that goes along with running our farm-based business. I can't get motivated until the last minute, and the last minute is here. My Nebraska state sales...
