Living  the good life... one day at a time
 
Life in the Farm at the end of Summer 8/22/2010
 
                                                                                


 

Still one more month to go but when school is back we have the feeling that summer is gone... 

At The Farm

Summer facts:

*Two gardens with lots of tomatoes of all kinds, shapes and colors hybrid and heirloom adorn our salads every dinner table.

*First in our lifetime we have okra at home, the kids (our daughter and boyfriend) planted them along with some other veggies in their garden.

*We planted Limas, eggplants (Rosa Bianca and an Asian variety), Italian sweet peppers and sweet banana peppers, Swiss chard, leeks, Cucuzzi Caravazzi squash and the regulars (zucchini and Butternut) in ours.

*We have added a formal part time job in our lives looking for some relief during winter months but still baking and farming almost full-time.

*Due to this work overload we had to give up a very loved Farmers Market on Fridays, Duke Farmers Market, we miss our friends there so much!

*Our baking is thriving! With the addition of our Bakehouse, a place entirely to do the baking, has been a blessing. Giving us more baking space,  less baking hours before the market and the chance to double our batches.

*A special mention to our brand new Bakehouse. *A small house which was brought back to life. Our friends Karen and David, a very generous couple, gave us the chance to use it for baking purposes. With this great act of Kindness they have changed our lives giving us the chance to enjoy our baking moments to the fullest!
