• Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Beans, Peas, and Tomatoes….Oh My!

    Purple Beans, Green Beans, Snow Peas, Red Cherry Tomatoes, and Orange Cherry Tomatoes

    The garden is starting to take off and we are getting more of a variety of color as well as veggies.  It is so nice having fresh garden produce in the fridge again!  I saw more colors popping out this week too.  Our family was able to pick purple beans, green beans, orange cherry tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes and snow peas.  There’s nothing like eating a vegetable just picked moments before from the garden.  It has been great having these for snacks and meals.  I am hoping to see a lot more produce ready to be eaten in the next few weeks!a

    While we are out of town the people watching the house and animals gets to pick what they need / want from the garden.  Hopefully they’ll be able to get a lot of great food for their family too.  It is my prayer that our garden will not only be a delicious treat for our family but a blessing to others as well.

  • Fresh & Healthy: Fall Harvest – Community Supported Agriculture (Week 7 & 8)

    We are enjoying our Fall Harvest with our Local Farm with Community Supported Agriculture program. With the Thanksgiving Holiday being on Thursday we decided it would be better not to have to juggle picking up produce in between all the family Holiday fun so we received a full share this week.    We are now getting close to the end of our fall harvest only two more weeks left.  The Fall harvest is 10 weeks long through our farm.  We are thrilled to get the produce and fresh eggs.  Our family is doing a half share again for this harvest.
