There’s been quite a bit of local cooking going on around here since we moved in, there just hasn’t been time to write about it. Meals have included Kahula Pork Roast (courtesy of Sugar Creek Farm), roast chicken, pork chops, tenderloin steaks and pasta with pesto. Most of those were accompanied by veggies from the […]

Whitefish - What a weekend
Posted in personal on Mar 12th, 2008
We had a wonderful weekend in Whitefish, or at least I think everyone had as nice a time as I did. We didn’t have any fresh snow except for a scant inch yesterday. So unusually for this group we spent a lot of time on the groomers. But going fast has it’s merits too.

Because the farm, can I call it a farm if it’s only 3.46 acres?, has 5 outbuildings on it and one seemed well suited to becoming a new chicken home, we decided not to move the coop up here. Plus, Mike wasn’t confident that we could successfully get it here since all the main routes […]
First Impressions
Posted in farm on Mar 2nd, 2008
We did it. We successfully packed and moved out of our city house by 5:00 pm on Friday. We then drove 15 miles north and unloaded, with the help of many of our friends, at the new house. All that prep work and the unloading of the truck was done in 4 hours. Always amazes […]
