It has been a whirlwind of getting this store ready. We certainly could not have done it without the many wonderful folks in our life that support us – family, friends, customers, business partners and those who cross all those divides. This weekend is our soft opening (Shop Local Saturday!) and we are excited toContinue reading “Rock Bottom Tuesday: Giving Thanks”

Tuesday on the Homestead: Balance
It’s tough these days to find any – balance, that is. Between the wonky weather (70 degrees last week – flush little late Tatsoi and Purple Pak Choi, this week our first snow and down to 20 degrees by the end of the week!), the store opening (in a mere week and a half?! egad!,Continue reading “Tuesday on the Homestead: Balance”
Tuesday Happenings
The homestead is a bit quiet at this time of the year. We are gearing up to do some tree care – putting up deer proof (and snowmobile proof) cages/ mulching and mineralizing, putting the gardens still to bed by cleaning and composting, planting bulbs (and yes, still the garlic!), and collecting the last ofContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Another Tuesday on the Homestead
And like a flash, Tuesday is upon us again. We have been busy celebrating J’s birthday week with bits of excitement; country drives and roadside apples, antique-ing for the store and surprise Farmer’s Markets, a few stolen moments for a glass of wine and a chat, a long line for a lovely ice cream afternoonContinue reading “Another Tuesday on the Homestead”
Tuesday Happenings
Rock Bottom Updates (big & small): the Swine & Stein was a moderate hit – we got the word out so that was good and we broke even on the event spending. I was a little shocked more people didn’t desire a little bag of warm bread with butter to nibble on since it wasContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Rock Bottom Tuesday: Swift Change
This season is sweeping in on a gust of cool wind. Though we get a warmer reprieve in the next couple of days (just enough to tidy up the gardens, get the wood crib cleaned out, and get a painting project done in the driveway – copper coating some tin ceiling for a woodstove backsplash!),Continue reading “Rock Bottom Tuesday: Swift Change”
Happenings: Common Ground Fair
We had a wonderful festival week – a couple of mushroom/woods walks, meets with friends, amazing weather, with a culmination of goodness at the Common Ground Fair. We almost didn’t go – and we would have been so sad. The weather for our day was grey, cool, and kinda windy. But it was nice –Continue reading “Happenings: Common Ground Fair”
Tuesday: Wind-Down and Wind-Up!
So, the Harvest Party was a blast – maybe not as many folks as we were hoping but those that came were generous and enjoyable. The food was great, the weather was amazing, the band AstroPlanet was fantastic. The raffle was a nice sucess – gave away T-shirts, Maple Syrup, a CSB Membership, and ofContinue reading “Tuesday: Wind-Down and Wind-Up!”
Happenings for a Tuesday
As we get ready to invite lovely folks to the homestead, we wander and tweak the wild spaces. We’re not wanting to tame all these spaces but maybe tidy them up a bit. We had a wonderfully generous philosopher come to the house a couple of years ago who was smitten with the cultivated versusContinue reading “Happenings for a Tuesday”
Our week starts with a Typical Tuesday
Tuesdays are generally our busiest days. Josh gets up bright and early to proof bread, warm the ovens, bake the bread, and then label and bag all the orders. Then he piles it all into our tiny car with our growing child and delivers to all the good people (the St. Nick of bread? ha!).Continue reading “Our week starts with a Typical Tuesday”
