Crock-Fermented Dill Pickles
Flying Tomato Farms —
Authority: 122
This is my second year making crock dills in cooperation with my friend Cathy, who lends me the crocks her grandmother used. The cukes come out of my gardens, as well as the peppers. This year’s dill came from my friend Amy’s garden, and the garlic is Patti’s from Evergreen Farms (certified organic). The ...2 days ago -
I just finished canning some smoked port shoulder that friends brought up
Ask Jackie —
Authority: 112
It’s deer hunting season here in northern Minnesota, so I’m quickly canning up some great smoked pork shoulder that my friends, Pam and Joan, brought up to me awhile ago. They got a great deal on it and shared with me. I had taken it, frozen, to my friend, Jeri’s house. They’re on grid and had a nearly empty ...3 days ago -
Will’s fixing Old Yeller and I’m getting the orchard and garden ready for winter
Ask Jackie —
Authority: 112
Our beloved old 1010 John Deere crawler, nicknamed “Old Yeller,” is finally getting fixed. Because Will knew it would be a rough job, he kind of put it off. Parts were very hard to find because it’s a 1962 machine. We looked and looked, all across the country, only to find them, just this week, less than 100 ...5 days ago -
Naked seed pumpkin
Throwback at Trapper Creek —
Authority: 418
The jury is still out on the naked seed pumpkin in our garden. The idea of seeds you can just eat straight out of the pumpkin without shelling is intriguing, and I had grown Snack Jack before. But, with all the harvesting and preserving projects each fall, adding one more job that needed attention at that busy ...6 days ago -
Sweet Meat
Throwback at Trapper Creek —
Authority: 418
I won’t mince my words, I think mincemeat should contain meat, or it should be called something else. Much like the famous turkey made out of tofu or soy hotdogs. What’s up with that? If you don’t want to eat meat, don’t. Just eat the tofu if that is what you want, you’re not honoring a turkey, ...1 week ago -

We’ve had snow and freezing, but harvest continues
Ask Jackie —
Authority: 112
Today I finished up the last minute harvest in our garden. It was windy, wintery, and raw, but I pulled two five-gallon buckets of rutabagas and another one of carrots. That’s it. I’m done. All but putting the garden to bed for winter. If it gets done, this year… I’m busily cutting old screens I saved from ...1 week ago -
Baking Day!
Raising Peanuts —
Authority: 127
This week Crystal and Fishmama are co hosting a baking day, and since I haven’t done one of these since before the baby was born, I’m quite overdue! I love having a couple meals in the freezer ready to go, or at least partially finished so it doesn’t take so long to cook up each night. My plan for today is ...1 week ago -
Goat breeding season is beginning on our homestead
Ask Jackie —
Authority: 112
It’s time we introduced our does to our new Boer buck, Thor. We breed two does the end of October or first of November, for late March or early April kids, and two a month or two later for May to late May babies. This gives two does to provide milk at the same time for both the kids and us. And there is no milk-less ...2 weeks ago -
Bartram Blackberry Jelly
E.r.r.a.n.t —
Authority: 119
Back in July when I was working at Bartrams Garden I foraged several quarts of blackberries from the blackberry bush (more like blackberry hedge) in the parking lot. I suffered sunburn and mosquito bites to harvest those berries, then I let them sit in the freezer for several months before getting around to ...2 weeks ago -

Later ‘Mater
Flying Tomato Farms —
Authority: 122
Clearing out the last of the tomatoes, so I can move the wire rack I’m holding the excess produce on back into the sunny bedroom window for the houseplants (which is its main function). I had three pint boxes of ripened red pear tomatoes, plus a couple peach lugs about half full each of red and ripening fruits. ...2 weeks ago -
Back to the Canner
Flying Tomato Farms —
Authority: 122
I’ve taken a few week hiatus from the canner as I work on my courses and get the house in shape after the growing season. But I did buy a big box of apples at the farmers market, and I’ve had my mind set on chutney ever since I got them. My attitude toward chutney might make a traditional Indian cook wince ...2 weeks ago -
Harvesting almost finished
Throwback at Trapper Creek —
Authority: 418
These days, the sun seems weak, but still a sight for sore eyes. The days are getting short fast, and time is of the essence. The root crops are just coasting now, but warm weather crops that can’t take the cooler temperatures need to be brought in for storage or preserving. Sweet Meat winter squash. ...3 weeks ago -
I advertised my young buck goat and nearly got scammed!
Ask Jackie —
Authority: 112
Living in the backwoods, I am seldom exposed to the unsavory segment of the population; no robberies, drugs, identity thefts, etc. But this week, I was hit by a scammer through an ad I’d put on the Duluth Craigslist (a very effective internet free shopper). I put an ad for this buck and another on the Craigslist and ...3 weeks ago -
These Jars Need Filling
Hip Chick Digs —
Authority: 115
Winter waits for no one as I make a mad dash to fill these remaining canning jars. Sure there is school work, freelance work, writing projects, travel plans, Halloween costumes… But the canning season comes to an abrupt halt and I can’t bear to see those jars sit there empty all winter. I’m busy canning ...3 weeks ago -
Welcome, Señor Porcus!
Eat Close To Home —
Authority: 112
Naming our food is a long tradition in my family, starting with Boris the Bull, who I believed would cause my parents’ divorce (do YOU really understand how large a whole steer is? Yeah, us neither…). Last year we bought half a hog and named it Eric. This year’s participant has been dubbed Señor Porcus. No ...3 weeks ago -
While I’m busy canning, Will and David get the storage barn roof covered
Ask Jackie —

I’m still busily making different tomato products from the last 30 gallons of ripening green tomatoes that were sitting in my unused (yet!) new laundry room, trying to rot after they ripened, then sitting around because of all the running around I’ve been doing trying to get Mom settled in the rehab facility in ...3 weeks ago -
