Picked 20 pounds of tomatoes and 2 pounds of peppers today. Could have picked a lot more peppers but left them to get some more color. And because I ran out of room in my basket and t-shirt 😂😂😂.

What are you all harvesting today? How are you using it?

Hey all! It's been quiet here as we dive into our spring busy seasons but we wanted to pick your brains for a moment. Would there be interest in making this event 2 days next year instead of 1? If yes, would you rather they be Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday? Comment here and share with your friends.

Hey all! Now that the dust has settled from the Expo, we're going to take a few days to catch up on all of the things we've been putting on the back burner in our own lives before we start up again with things here. We will get the videos we do have of the presentations uploaded in the next week or two but can't promise when yet. Anne has her busy schedule of farmers markets starting up in the next week plus her time on the family farm and her family.
Melissa has a commitment to the Warrensburg Community Chorus and their upcoming concert a new business that is growing and taking a fair bit of tending, and her own family as well. We will be here soon but we've got to get caught up a bit and settle into our routines again as warmer weather approaches and life gets busy for all homesteaders. Thank you for for you patience as we get caught up again and thank you for your continued support! It's quiet on the surface but there's a lot going on underneath!
