What do you do when you wake up on Monday with a hankering for pancakes (a.k.a., a "pankering.") but there is no pancake mix to be found in the house? Well, once you have gotten over your shock and disappointment, figure out what people did in the olden days before pancake mix was invented. We… Continue reading Growing up

A Farm Day (Finally!)
Welcome to the first farm day of 2026! That is, the first day Daddy was able to spend more than a few minutes at the farm with time to get some actual work done. Winnie is finally winning over Matilda. The key is snacks (a.k.a. Alfalfa). Pancakes for Candlemas! Tuesday morning began with the usual… Continue reading A Farm Day (Finally!)
Boy, Let Me Tell You!
Howdy folks! Boy it has been a minute! Welcome back, Three Hearts Farm! How have you been these last 2 1/2 weeks? My goodness has it really been that long? Yes it has.

Slice and dice sausage, to about the same size, 1/2 inch chunks. Stir fry and simmer together until rutabagas are just starting to get soft. Salt, pepper… Continue reading Root and Sausage Pasties
Advent Baking
As we mentioned on Sunday, it is Advent! It's the most butter-ful time of the year. Seriously! With our annual Christmas cookie baking frenzy, the amount of butter we go through from Thanksgiving to Christmas would probably grease a steam engine, if we were so inclined to be wasteful. We prefer to use it to… Continue reading Advent Baking
Happy Advent!
Happy New Year! And by that I mean, Happy Advent, Everyone!
