I have been wondering what happened to winter? It has been so warm here in Northern Illinois the last two weeks, I am not sure I ever remember it being this warm. It makes me a little nervous about what the later part of March will look like. I have heard when...

Snow happy! Kids aren't the only ones who love snow. We farmers also appreciate it. While everyone in northern Illinois has been enjoying our mild weather thru December and early January, I have been anxiously watching some of the 800 bulbs I planted...

Dear Shareholders,
Good job with sending those wishes for rain out to the Universe. The farm really needed some moisture. We have enough now. You can stop asking for rain, at least for a week or so.
Your very wet farmers,
Gretta, Amy and...

Well, no one can say that the spring of 2011 wasn’t
interesting. Cold, yes. Wet, yes. Without sunshine, yes. As I am writing this,
the sun is shining and the temperature today is expected in the “really hot”

Well here it is, mid April, and we just had a couple inches of snow. Can't believe it. Temperatures are running so far below normal that we are still up every night to fill the wood burner so that the tomatoes don't get cold. To add insult to injury, most days...

Darn. I think Punxatawney Phil was wrong this year. I really do. Everyone's favorite little furry guy came out on February 2nd and did not see his shadow. That is only supposed to mean one thing, and that is only 6 more weeks of winter. Looking at the...

Brrrr! It has suddenly gotten so cold out on the farm! I was hoping to start working on my new hoop house again this week, but no dice. I did venture down the very muddy farm road yesterday to drop off some tools for my neighboring farmer. That was an...

The weather is reminding us that it is January here on the ranch, my least favorite month of the year. Highs are in the 20's lows 11, needless to say the water is frozen and my hands, face and ears get cold fast. It is days like this I remind myself as I do...

Every winter, any egg producer in a cold climate must deal with frozen waterers if they over winter their egg layer flock like we do. Each year, I try to improve on my cold weather watering methods to make my life easier and things healthier for the birds. ...

Because of the warm weather early this spring and the continued warm weather all summer the apple harvest will begin earlier than normal this year. It looks like most varieties of apples will be harvested 10 - 14 days earlier than normal. Therefore...
