I was in the grocery store a few weeks ago and my total was $65. I remember the cashier saying “one bag of groceries, this is awful”. I agreed. I let her know at our house we spend on average $100/per person per month in food and household items. She was floored. This subject has been a long-time conversation with many people in my life. Shocked is always the answer. Disagreement. No way.

I’m here to tell you that when inflation is at its highest - it is possible. How?

Meet farmers. Those eggs you bought at the grocery store for $7 last week? We sell for $3. Feed is astronomical but chickens are a hobby, not an income.

The beef you’re buying for 7,10,15 dollars a pound? Buy from a farmer! On average, the cost is $4/lb.

If chicken is more than $1.99/lb, I’m not buying it! If chicken is .99cents a lb - I’m buying 15-20lbs at a time and vacuum sealing it.

Dairy, produce and grains? Follow the sales flyers. Every Sunday I spend to price compare. If it’s not in a sale flyer, I’m not going to buy it. If it’s a great price, I’m buying 1 for now and 2 for later. If it’s on sale at two places, I’ll go to the second place.

Knowledge is power. Food is nourishment. You need both.

Winter is coming and for that I am…glad? It is the blessing of a slow season after such a busy summer.

Last weekend I organized our inside freezer to see what I had on hand for left overs or extras. I have quite a bit more processing to do, I’d like to make a few more sauces and soups to put in the freezer for easy dinners and of course, more cheese.

Tonight we harvested probably our last harvest for the year. We had an abundance of peppers and eggplants this year. A few weeks ago I planted peas as a desperation for a fall crop but I planted it way too late. However we are hoping to plant some garlic in a few weeks!

We sold the remainder of our flock of sheep last weekend. Bittersweet. Calves, mamas and the steer are doing well. Piglets are growing big and strong. More on market pigs in a few weeks!

Larder.

1 : a place where food is stored : pantry
2 : a supply of food

It’s amazing how many months all I have to do is walk the garden and dip into the freezers and fridge to feed us. No leaving the house on a slow Sunday. Homegrown magic.

In a world that needs direct farm-to-table connection more than ever, I have great solace for the birth and death of animals born and raised on our farm. Today was a tough one but we managed.

Kyle built me beautiful garden beds for the summer and we expanded the garden space 2.5x more than last year. Today the beds were filled with beautiful, rich, compost from pile #1 (pile #2, pictured) as it’s been sitting for over a year. Dreaming of two buckets on either side with a cattle panel archway/trellis for Kajari melons. We will fence this in, mulch the path way and plant another day.

Thankful for the nice weather and dry conditions in the pasture! Piglets were snuggling this morning and I was able to replant my starts and get them outside to start hardening off.

For a long time Azure Standard didn’t deliver to the east coast; They began offering delivery local to us a little while ago. Once a month I drive 45 minutes to our drop, Adirondack Neighbors, to pick up my orders. They offer low priced bulk organic/non-gmo items , natural household items and raw dairy among other things. This month I ordered a bunch of raw cheese (I will shred and freeze some), other dairy products, blood oranges, bread flour, mushroom popcorn, blackberry jam, pasta and tomato products. I also ordered a 2 gallon bucket and a lid for the bulk rice we have.

Sugaring season coming in hot 🍁 did you know maple syrup gets darker as the season progresses? You can see the light syrup from our first week vs this week! The syrup on the end is still hot and cloudy. Typically syrup is filtered multiple times to get the niter (sugar sand and minerals) out. However when it is not filtered, over several days, the niter will sink. We choose only to filter once briefly as our production scale is extremely small and niter is ok to ingest. I’m super thankful for a good year as I was on my last jar from last year!
