They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Clock is ticking! Saturday morning we go live with our Second Annual CiderFest! First step is getting the propane stove in the shop... fired up! It gets cold sometimes, when you are cutting up apples and grinding and smashing them all day, and the ability to warm your little fingers from time to time makes… Continue reading Preparations are Under Way
This post is a bit of a break from our usual fare, for a couple of reasons. One is that it has nothing to do with our farm. The other is that it is really more of a meditation or insight that arose out of the event. While on vacation two weeks ago in Tennessee,… Continue reading No Grown-ups Allowed!
Despite being a little under the weather yesterday, we processed this year's buckwheat, mostly. I would say 90% solution. I also have to say, this year it has been night and day, less labor intensive and more efficient than last year. This year we hand harvested into a garbage pail so we had much less… Continue reading Buckwheat processing, year 2.

We only had two hours to work on the farm, before moving right into… Continue reading A Daddy and Winnie day

We did some sight seeing, and helped out with some projects on the homesteads there, had some family meals and game nights. All in all a good vacation, but it did… Continue reading Catching Up
Save the date!
So far behind on posting, likely won't catch up because it's a National Guard Weekend coming up. But here's a quick update. https://youtube.com/shorts/lhwnyNE1_-A?feature=share Thanks to our good friend, the electrical pump for the rainwater collection system is hooked up and running. It is even now providing water for the animals on pasture.
No truck, no farm work, we can’t go Anywhere all day long. Thank God.
We had an unexpected Man Work Monday this week. We had to take Mr. Seppi to the doctor on Monday (he put a rock in his ear on Sunday, and neither Daddy at home nor the doctor at the ER could get it out), but the truck was in the shop, and Mommy could not… Continue reading Man Work Monday
