I say Wow! we have a lot of potatoes. And I mean a lot.
It’s hard to tell weight since we’re using the super scientific method of “feels like 60 pounds, don’t you think?” to weigh. But there’s a lot of potatoes in the tack room in the barn. There are a total of 6 burlap […]

We celebrated the end of a long week and the potato harvest with an all local, and mostly homegrown, dinner tonight. The potatoes are Russian fingerling fresh from the dirt, roasted in the oven in California olive oil and local butter. The slaw is red cabbage, carrot and green bell pepper from the garden tossed […]

I’m so sick of green beans that there’s a gallon in the fridge that have started to mold and another 2 gallons that I’m not interested in eating, freezing or pickling. I think I’m going […]
When one of your favorite farmers invites you to stop by anytime?
I spent yesterday morning setting up and working the PUD booth at the Green Edmonds fair (pretty good event). Afterwards I strolled down to the Edmonds farmer’s market to pick up some fruit, bread, cheese, etc.
As it was the end of the market day […]
There are times that I know that moving here was the right decision. Most of the time I believe it and I feel it, but nights like tonight I know it deep in my bones and my soul.
Mike left this morning on his annual elk hunting trip. I’m home alone tonight, then my dad arrives […]
