• Fresh & Healthy: Fall Harvest – Community Supported Agriculture (Week 2)

    We are enjoying our Fall Harvest with our Local Farm with Community Supported Agriculture program.  The Fall harvest is 10 weeks long through our farm.  We were thrilled to get the produce and fresh eggs.  In our recent batch of eggs we had several that were huge with double yolks which the girls thought was really neat.  Our family is doing a half share for this harvest.

  • Fresh & Healthy: Sharing the Garden Goodies

    Fresh Produce from the Garden that we gave away.

    We have been blessed with a wonderful garden this summer.  It was a great learning experience for the girls.  They enjoyed planting, watering, picking, washing, eating, and giving away the produce.  The weed pulling wasn’t a highlight for them but they did pitch in and help a few times.  I am thankful for how well the vegetables and fruit produced.

    We recently replanted the garden for Fall Harvest so we are in between stages right now.  The tomatoes are slowing down but still producing a few.  Our four okra plants have been consistently producing as well.    The above basket was one that we were able to give to several people at Jake’s work.  It has been a tremendous blessing being able to share the garden vegetables with others.

    Did you grow a garden?  What produce did you have in your garden?
