It feels like our Farm Birthday! But farms are created more than they are birthed, so we keep wondering – do we call this our Farm Creation Day?

Our eldest child thankfully prodded us into watching an episode of Cooked by Michael Pollan last night. She chose the episode called “Water.” We watched this film for the first time a couple of years ago and are enormously grateful for her to put it in front of us again.

We consider this now our Winter Season, so it’s quite fitting to have snow around, but we’re just not used to it. We’ve obviously never had a foot of snow this early in the season before, and our row covers that were quaint a week ago are now laughable as they emerge in their new… Continue reading SNOW! and Vegetables go Beautifully Together…mkt for 12.15.2018
