Is it summer yet?

Blog: Scotch Creek Farm   -   Friday June 07, 2013   -   By Carrie

I don't know if a farmer ever gets caught up with the farm. I know I don't. I have learned to be a little more tolerant of weeds as they have been helpful in drought years. I have learned that when you have 5 dozen (extra) eggs you NEED by the weekend 5 hens...

Blog: Black Dog Farms   -   Wednesday May 01, 2013   -   By Kevin

Snow Onions Anyone?

Blog: Black Dog Farms   -   Wednesday April 17, 2013   -   By Kevin

Do They Let Their Kids Eat That Stuff?

Blog: Black Dog Farms   -   Wednesday April 10, 2013   -   By Kevin

This morning, while running an errand, I happened to be driving by a local food growing establishment. A farm. I happen to know where they sell the "food" that they grow and I do not want it. Not after this morning. A tractor was driving up and down...

LET'S START SOME SEEDS!

Blog: Shag Bark Hickory Farms   -   Tuesday April 09, 2013   -   By farmfreshchic

Whats the deal with seeds?

Blog: Miss Scarlett's Homegrown Produce, Texas-made Gifts & More   -   Wednesday February 20, 2013   -   By Miss Scarlett

"Vegetarian" Chile Rellenos

Blog: Wild Things Farm   -   Sunday September 09, 2012   -   By Terry

Ok, I finally did it--made "vegetarian" chile rellenos and they were actually quite tasty.   Through the years I've had eggplant fixed two different ways:  eggplant parmesan or breaded and fried.  It's great both ways, but boring....
