The Farm Store: The Vitality of a Small Farm

There are many ways to commemorate your next farm stay experience but we must say, shopping at the farm store is one of the tastier (and fun!) ways to bring the farm home with you. Farm stores come in all shapes and sizes from bread buggies to farmer's markets to subscription CSA boxes -- each farm has their own unique way of sharing the goods they produce.

My Stay at a Vermont Farm Bed & Breakfast by Sveva Marcangeli

Liberty Hill Farm Inn, owned by Beth and Bob Kennett, have been bringing people together from all corners of the world under one roof since 1984. Having recently welcomed a seasoned global traveler Sveva Marcangeli to the farm, they were left with more than a heartfelt guestbook entry, rather an inspiring testament on the importance of community, connecting to your local farmer, and practicing gratitude. Take a moment to read an excerpt from her beautifully written piece below, and then follow the link for the whole article.

Small farm sustainability at Dogwood Hills in Harriet, Arkansas

Thomas and Ruth Pepler moved to their farm in 2009 from their hobby farm in New Jersey. In tow was their daughter, Gracie, with her 4-H meat goats and chickens. The property they bought had a little house in the woods on a steep slope surrounded by ‘hollers’ (we had to ask, “What exactly is a holler?” A holler is a steep valley with slopes that go straight up. It may have water in the bottom like a creek but not necessarily. It makes farming difficult.) Thomas had been recruited and hired for a job in a neighboring community. Ruth, a registered nurse, would stay home to home school Gracie. As it turned out, the farm was the perfect classroom.

Introducing... Cook With What You Have, plus a recipe for collard greens with winter squash and bacon

Do you ever find yourself with an abundance of produce from your CSA subscription and are not totally sure what to do with it all? Or, if you're a farmer -- maybe especially because you're a farmer -- you're more than set with a particular ingredient but short on ideas for how to prepare it in interesting ways again and again? We all have our favorites, but variety is always good and reducing waste is a big plus! The USDA estimates that 21% of the available food supply is wasted in homes, but we know that supporters of working farms and ranches want to make a difference in this regard.
