I received my first grains a couple days ago from a very nice lady on a forum. They were shipped fresh in a bit of milk and had over-fermented and probably gotten too hot. Soo hoping for the best, I mixed the whole shebang with about two cups of milk and let it sit for a day in a mason jar, stirring once. By the time I got back to it it smelled and tasted very yeasty, not sour at all. Also the milk had curdled a bit, though that part could have been from the original shipped mix. Strained and…See More
caton mew replied to caton mew's discussion 'how to sell at a farmer's market'"Thanks Cornelia! I didn't know about the USDA site. The Jacksonville Farmers Market is wonderful but much too far away. I talked to a couple of guys at Whole Foods and they referred me to another person who runs it. I haven't been able to…"
Cornelia replied to caton mew's discussion 'how to sell at a farmer's market'"Unfortunately it sounds like one of those things that depends on where you are. Usually, there is a fee for exhibitors at the market and then you take the proceeds from what you sell. There is a USDA site for Florida farmers markets here…"

Do you pay someone for permission like renting a spot or do you need a permit?

caton mew commented on Cornelia's blog post '%$&*# Bureaucrats! My gutter garden must come down.'"Aww, that's horrible! I'm so sorry they made you do that.

- A bit about me:
- I'm "the weird herb chica" of my apartment complex, but not able to have anywhere near the garden I want. Still dreaming about dairy goats as well. Meanwhile, I grind my own wheat with a mission to perfect whole grain bread and am always looking up ideas for healthy eating and diy housekeeping stuff.
- Latest greatest meal cooked at home:
- Oat scones with honey-butter cream. The scones came out almost perfect. They were flaky-crumbly and not too dense, barely sweet with a hint of nutmeg. For the spread I whipped honey, brown sugar and butter plus whipped vanilla cream.
- Currently listening to:
- Pandora.com station with Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

- kefir! I'll post how it goes.
