Husking Garlic Seed
This past week, Kurt, Mr. Mike, Corinna, and Jed sat in the kitchen of the farm house, husking garlic for seed. It’s garlic planting time this coming week — provided the weather gets dry. That’s right! Garlic gets planted around Halloween and winters in the ground. To make the best plants, we order garlic seed [...]

Hi everyone: Well, it’s Tuesday, and Farmer Kurt has taken off from his day job at ADM to get the garlic beds up. Forecast is calling for rain for the next few days, and we need to get that garlic in the ground before it gets too much colder. The garlic seed should be arriving [...]
To Certify or Not to Certify? That is the Question
If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that we farm using organic practices and believe very strongly in the organic movement. It has always been our intention to become “certified organic,” — a 3 year process developed by the industry and the USDA allowing the ground to purge itself from any un-organic [...]

Well, thanks to everyone who slipped me a marshmallow last Saturday. Did you catch the Pumpkin Hunt pictures? It was super. The winner of the Pumpkin Hunt was Laif Thorbahn, and second place went to Anna Siegel. Kids had a grand time running around in the dark with their glow-sticks and eating cider donuts. Our [...]
Best Sweet Potato Casserole Ever
When I was engaged to Kurt, I brought this casserole to the Hill Thanksgiving Feast, hoping to impress. It was so well received, that they ask me to make it every year now. I think it may be why he married me. It is one of those recipes from Cooking Light magazine that got a make-over from [...]
