The first and last newsletter of the month. Weird, but true because the month of October starts mid week. To all of you who have done this all season, congrats, you have made it almost all the way. In my experience as a CSA farmer this is somewhat rare. In...

Greetings, I am up extra early because today is the day we take our chickens in for processing. I will miss the birds but I will not miss the extra work they demanded, at least 2 hours a day that could have been spent mowing, cleaning garlic and onions,...

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? ...

I don’t know how many people actually read I Village articles, but sometimes I do. Today I ran across quirky kitchen things we learned from mom. Lot’s of peeling and throwing salt type things.
Honestly, I think the best...

There is a story with the picture of the potato below. For the last two years we have grown Caribe potatoes. The have been one of our prettiest potatoes, and they are heavenly mashed. This year we increased our potato crop significantly, and worried...

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...

It's week 16 of the farm Share initiative for many of you. Many CSA type programs go for less time than that. And here we do our Farm Share Initiative virtually year round. And that brings me to the question, are any of you interested in a winter farm Share? I...

I have already dug over 400 pounds of potatoes this year. Most were sold, but I am also saving drops for seed potatoes and storing some for our own use. Last year, I started storage in mid-June and we finished off our storage potatoes just as I began...

This morning I dug up some Bintjes for breakfast. Bintjes are a Dutch yellow potato that is fast growing (65 day) and high yielding. They also have a buttery taste that make German Butterballs look like German Margarineballs. My potatoes also have a...

I'm sitting here pondering - is it the unusual weather we've been having, or am I just missing something here?
Let me explain...the garlic, which was planted last October, ought to be bulbing up by now, but so far, nothing; the potatoes (LaRattes and...

We had our first new potatoes for supper last night, June 6th! This was a week earlier than last year, when the first potato arrived on our plates on June 12th. Our Red Thumb fingerlings had just started to flower, so I thought I would "tickle out"...

Well my little Morgan, Sara, got her first taste of being a "work pony" this week. Dan had her pulling a harrow through the garden and she did really well. She's going to need some time getting used to the traces rubbing a bit when...

We don't use tractors for tilling, planting or cultivation. If I need some field mowing done, I hire the neighbor and I spend about $100 per year. My gas costs last year for my tillers was less than $100 and my estimate of actual gallons used was 27.5 gallons....

Up here in the Fourth Corner, we get plentiful rain in the winter and sometimes we have quite a bit of water standing in the fields until late spring. Some farmers have had to wait until late June to even get out to their fields in past years (and maybe this...
