Cabbage

We were able to get a whole bunch of cabbage so I had fun a few weeks ago making sauerkraut and spiced red cabbage. I also tried making some kim chi (sp?).

David Helps Milk

David really enjoys coming out to milk with me. He watches with fascination as the milk squirts out, pets Hannah, and even tries to steal her grain sometimes. Here are some photos I took a few weeks ago of him while I was milking.

Sick...

Hello everyone. Just a quick update to say that Andrew is pretty sick right now and is actually in the hospital. So we haven't made it to the Colville farmers market in a few weeks and I'm not sure if I'll be at any markets this next week. We hope to be back soon.

Autumn Colors

Fall

It is starting to feel more like fall. There is a chill in the air in the evenings. We have even had several frosts. Much of the garden is nearly done. It is time to harvest the potatoes, the rest of the garlic, and pumpkins and winter squash. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. Pumpkins, making apple butter, falling leaves, cozy fires...
It seems to have come a little early this year, summer was short, but I am starting to feel ready for autumn days.
















Potatoes

We have started digging up our main crop of potatoes. We have lots of potatoes!
Yukon Gold, Red Norland, Purple Victory, Kennebec White, Fingerlings and Russets are the varieties we have this year. We will have them at the markets and will also be taking bulk orders.

Peach Pie

We are selling organic peaches from Riverview Orchard(just south of Kettle Falls) at the Friday market in Chewelah. They are ripe and delicious! And they make an excellent pie! Come on down and get some.
