Soup du jour!

Blog: Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce   -   Friday February 10, 2012   -   By Jeff

Another running gear is painted. My buddy, Rick Wilkening and I got the running gear ready to go. So today we got it painted. It didn't take too long, but of course we had to wait for the paint to dry before we could put the wheels back on. While we were...

Where to begin...

Blog: Dune Lakes Vineyard & Flower Farm   -   Thursday February 02, 2012   -   By Kris

What Happened to Winter???

Blog: Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce   -   Thursday February 02, 2012   -   By Jeff

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...

Seed Orders

Blog: Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce   -   Thursday January 26, 2012   -   By Jeff

Getting Ready Well it's that time of year at the farm where I look over last year's records and plan for the upcoming season. Actually, I have been planning for weeks, but I am finally mapping out the ground and preparing seed orders. I never realized there...

Snow happy

Blog: Collie Flower Farm   -   Tuesday January 24, 2012   -   By Liz

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...

Welcome Rain!

Blog: Good Earth Farmers   -   Saturday January 21, 2012   -   By Stephen

Great crashes of thunder and blasts of lightning woke us early this morning. Tall Cedar's old farmhouse shook with the thunder, but the sound of rain on our metal roof was reassuring. It's been a dry winter and we know the soil welcomes the rain. In...

Blog: Mini Miracles Farm CSA   -   Wednesday January 04, 2012   -   By Natalie

Oh, how I shiver with the winter chill in my bones! Lately though I suspect I am shivering with the excitement of the new growing season around the corner (or so I tell myself). Yes, I am addicted. Throughly and totally convicted that one of the winter's true...

Ready for a bath?

Blog: At Home in Nature   -   Sunday December 25, 2011   -   By Mary

The ducks and geese just don't know what to do with ice. They want a bath and try to dive into their frozen pond, but for whatever reason these days, the water is as hard as ice.  We dump out the ice and pour in water, and they enjoy it a lot.  But...

Winter Greens

Does Your Dry Winter Skin Thirst for Remedies?

Blog: 4 D Acres   -   Monday December 19, 2011   -   By Mike

While winter weather offers a respite from the heat of the summer months, and allows for colorful, if not all white, seasonal landscapes, it also brings with it a host of concerns including dry skin. Heated homes and biting wind can dry our skin, while...

Who's got the Winter blues?

Blog: Southern Eden Farm   -   Wednesday December 07, 2011   -   By Shannon

Well Winter is pretty much here in NW Georgia. The trees are nearly leafless, and all the beautiful spring and summer birds in our region have moved on to their winter grounds, leaving the farm a fairly silent place by comparison.  I am not a big fan of...

Winter Rest for the Farmer

Blog: Spyglass Gardens   -   Monday December 05, 2011   -   By Steve or Wendy

   Awwhhh peace at last for the ol red tractor!  Now in December the soil has turned to frozen dirt.  Most of the day it has a white frothy substance tracing its clumps in the sun. Golden leaves are cast abroad and a quietness comsumes the...

Winter is Creeping in Slowly in Texas

Blog: Texas Herb Company   -   Wednesday November 30, 2011   -   By Petra

It is pretty nippy in the mornings for the last few days. The frost on the farm buildings is a reminder that it is the end of November and, yes, the winter is slowly creeping in. Although beautiful sun shining for most of the day makes it just wonderful to...

Winter is here, and came with a bang!

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Saturday November 26, 2011   -   By Ann
