***** So let’s talk about what’s missing in this picture… Yeah, those would be tail feathers, which are currently all over the damn chicken run, making it look like someone got attacked. Also missing from this scenario? EGGS! I guess it’s official then. My chickens are molting. WTF. Don’t get me wrong, I love…
Seriously, is there a mom out there who didn’t think when they first got pregnant that they would be some crazy wonderful mother of the year all the time? I thought that staying at home meant I would have time to clean, sew, cook and nurture the little creature that my husband and I had…
So today is my SITS day! I’m so excited for you all to stop by and say hi! Come on in and take a look around the ol’ homestead, it’s a pretty cool place to hang. We do a lot of cooking around these parts, as well as picture taking, farming fails, farming wins (!!)…
So I haven’t written about this yet because it’s just been too sad. Ok that’s not really true, I just haven’t really had the time or the desire to talk more about it… but suffice it to say, some days, urban farming isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. About a year ago, I got…
Once upon a time, there was Betty. She is the by-product of my desire to be a urban farming guru… Now while she may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I like to think of Betty as a pretty little hen. A lovely Plymouth Barred Rock, with a mellow temperament and quiet disposition, she is…

And while it’s been a LONG LONG time since any KFC or Popeye’s crossed these lips, I still think about it sometimes… with that satisfying crunch as you bite into it, that succulent chicken breast, juicy and moist. All those herbs and…
I’m not going to lie… I’m still in shock that the 4th has come and gone, but omg, I’m so ready for it not to be a holiday, or a vacation or another trip. I have laundry up to my eyeballs, maternity clothes that may/may not fit piling up like Mt. Everest and a house…
Oh Hai… Yeah, so in case you’ve been wondering… or not… we’re on vacation. It’s not one of those glamorous 5 star resort vacations, but more of a 4 generations, down home on the farm, amazing, incredibly blissful experience. We are here. Here is the middle of nowhere, farmland, in between the Catskills and the…
I’ll be totally honest. Despite the fact that I LOVE to cook and experiment with different foods, new vegetables and different cuts of meat, the ability to use a whole chicken has always eluded me. Well, maybe not eluded me, but it certainly scared the hell out of me. It was always so much easier…
