One allows us to use their UPS drop; the other provides coolers, boxes and ice packs that we re-use when we pack and ship cheese. Merry Christmas, and thank you, everyone, ...

  In the Depth of Winter — Authority: 115
  This was a paper that I wrote for one of my classes. Had I gone into depth it would have been much longer, but the restraints of 9 pages double spaced didnt leave much room. In the future, I will add a lot to this post in regards to food and our industrialized system in America. For the time being...I thought this ...

  Jeanette Verster Photography — Authority: 424
  I met the Smiths on their farm close to Buffelspoort Dam yesterday morning (after the GPS took me on a wild goose chase because I thought I was being clever and didn’t follow the directions I got sent by the family).  And I could immediately see why they wanted their family portraits done there.  What a beautiful ...

  Boucher Family Farm — Authority: 128
  (Buttercup, in her long "rehab pen") I didnt want to say anything earlier, but it was clear that the pony we had agreed to board for the winter had been neglected for several years. "This pony makes me sad," I told my husband Dan. We made the decision to rescue her. She has severe feet problems. ...

• Pig Update

  
  Boucher Family Farm — Authority: 128
  (Pink and happy) Dan says that this batch of pigs gets excited about eating more than any others that we have raised so far. You might recall that they are from a (new to us) local pig purveyor. They certainly get charged up when people come around; most of the photos I took are far too blurry to print.

  Boucher Family Farm — Authority: 128

We are going to loan him out in the spring to a hobbyist who wants to try and hatch out some baby chicks. He kept himself between the hens and myself the ...

  In the Depth of Winter — Authority: 115
  In the past three weeks Ive been working on a couple of big projects for school. Both of them are food related, one on a local level and the other on a global level.

  Imagine my reaction when someone visiting the farm said to me, "So how long have you had the pony?" "What pony", I said. This pony. We are boarding her for the winter; no one thought to tell me about it.

  Boucher Family Farm — Authority: 128
  This past Saturday the power went out around 7 a.m. No problem, really. It wasnt that cold out and we have a gas stove to cook on, but the lack of Internet was inconvenient because I havent finished my holiday shopping. My husband Dan has asked Santa to bring him "On Demand," a service offered by ...

• No Power

  
  Boucher Family Farm — Authority: 128
  Around 7:00 a.m. this morning the power went out. Dan hooked up the generator to finish milking, and we went to a diner for breakfast in the next town so we wouldnt have to eat at home in the dark. At 9:30, the power came back on, but it brought back memories of the ice storm , and that we had told ourselves ...

It was foiled and covered with a blanket on the counter for an hour to rest and finish cooking while we waited for the legs to ...
