Updates and Recent Happenings: Goats and A Cat That Likes Water
Hey everyone, I’m back! After being forced to take the past week off from blogging because my computer went kaput, here I am, back with a shiny new laptop. Not that you can tell the difference from your end, but I really splurged and bought myself a nice one! Still learning the ropes of using…
Updates and Recent Happenings: Wild Turkeys and Parking Lot Plums
Well, the past week has been interesting, to say the least. Lots of new and different things floating around in our world! We submitted about a zillion and a half papers to start the pre-qualification process for a home loan, which is exciting but also nerve wracking! We’ve both been super busy with our day…

Whew, it’s been a busy week in Grow Forage Cook Ferment land! Lots of things are happening behind the scenes right now, which is a good thing, but can be overwhelming when I also have to juggle a full time job. Such is life, I suppose, but honestly I’m loving it! Here’s more about our…

Hello my lovelies! How has your past week been?

Updates and Recent Happenings: Beach Trip!
Well, we sure had a lovely week with beautiful weather which led to an awesome beach trip to the southern Oregon coast on our days off! Our first stop was Bandon and it sure was nice. We even took Cosmo the kitten! He sort of liked it, but was scared of the ocean. I can’t…
Updates and Recent Happenings: Amaranth and Swimming Holes
Last week started off with a bang! I told Joel that I wanted to BBQ for the 4th of July since we were having a few friends over, but unfortunately we didn’t have a BBQ. Crazy, I know. So Joel, being crafty as he is, built us one on a whim! Pretty cool, I think….
Updates and Recent Happenings: More Raspberries and Wildflower Mead
Well, the patriotic holiday weekend is upon us, and although I don’t usually talk politics on the blog I’m going to at least mention that I’m happy with the way things are going as of late! The state of Oregon has legalized a highly useful medicinal plant and marriage equality has become federal law. Not…
Updates and Recent Happenings: Some Flowers You Want, Some You Don’t
Well, now that summer is actually here, it’s blazing hot! Which I really don’t mind, at least for now. The peppers, tomatoes and squash in the garden are loving it and getting huge, but some of the other plants aren’t quite as happy. Everything is flowering… and some flowers you want, some you don’t! What…
