January 2017 Farm Share

Our January 2017 farm share was just enough to eat in-between our travels. Winter share is a bit harder to split in half, and that’s probably because I want the carrots all to myself! HA Carrots go fast in our household in the winter, especially when we have colds. That homemade chicken noodle soup isn’t…

New Year / New Challenge with a Capital C

I like goals and usually set them in January. This year is different. My pursuit of a zestful life has challenges. It’s the New Year / New Challenge with a Capital C. It has roadblocks. It prevented me from my posting goals. And — it sucked the joy right out of them. Not that I’m…

Ohio Farm Share Winter Week 5 2016 Omnivore share lasts 2 weeks until Christmas

Winter Farm Share Week 5 until Christmas

Winter Farm Share Week 5 was supposed to last until Christmas since we’re on a two week pick-up schedule until the end of the season. That’s a bit harder to figure with some things like eggs and baking. But we landed perfect by buying two half gallons of milk. We dined out several times so…

There wasn’t time to take pictures of the Thanksgiving share which…

Winter Farm Share Week 3 – tart Apples

Although Winter Farm Share Week 3 brings us many delights, it’s the tart apples bursting with flavor that excite me. Many winter share weeks we receive a different variety of apple and I can’t wait to taste each one. We aren’t always told the names so I called these speckled apples because they’re greenish yellow…

Winter Farm Share Week 2 – Pork Spareribs

Winter Farm Share Week 2 surprised me with a huge rack of Pork spareribs. We couldn’t figure out how to split them for the two families so mom took them home to her freezer. Getting together and roasting them for one of our card playing nights sounds good. I think I have some sauce here…

Winter Farm Share Week 1 – Omnivore

Winter Farm Share began the first week of November with a gorgeous array of vegetables and a whole chicken. We elected to get the Omnivore share this winter.

Summer Farm Share Week 22 – Brussels Sprouts end season

Summer Farm Share Week 22 ends the season with Brussels Sprouts. My favorite! I can’t believe we’ve been living off a farm share and tracking it for over a year. We start our second winter season with the farm share next week. This winter we’re experimenting with the Omnivore share, instead of the Vegetarian Pilot…
