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.
Ellie finished her school early. So she gets to learn how to make focaccia! Focaccia is one of the easiest breads to make. It is very simple, but time consuming to make it. We weigh out 500mg of high gluten pizza dough. Then we whisk in 3 tsp yeast, and a teaspoon of salt. We… Continue reading Focaccia!
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. We thought Cascadia had arisen and slid y'all off into the Pacific Ocean. No, it hasn't but thanks for the healthy perspective.… Continue reading Boy, Let Me Tell You!
A lot of things get disrupted when Daddy goes on National Guard orders. With all the things that fall behind when Mommy and Daddy are both here, it is inevitable that with one of us gone for an extended period, things will fall apart a little. Honestly, if it weren't for Uncle Adam, we could… Continue reading Monday Catching up

We prefer to use it to… Continue reading Advent Baking

Edit: or not, since I hit "publish" instead of "schedule." Feeding the sheep. I don't remember which day this was, but it was a sunny afternoon. This was… Continue reading Weekend Update and some Pasture Musings

We have been getting quince from our quince tree. It is that time of year. The Havran is completely empty, but the Van Deman still has a good number of (much smaller) fruit. The quince are sharp and astringent, and quite hard to chew, when raw. Not pleasant at all. However... If you grate or… Continue reading Quince and Walnut Crumble
Exciting times this week! We sold our old much used Chevy Colorado, and bought a newer more gently used Chevy Silverado. The kids were wild with excitement, and have named the truck "Bluey". Because it's blue. It makes an excellent boat, cave, vermin lair, or castle as the need requires. They are currently slaves, plotting… Continue reading Bumping Along
