A Mild Maple Syrup Season
What a long, strange "winter" it's been here in New England. While I don't particularly mind the snow-free commutes and record-breaking, 71-degree March days, I do wonder what the mild weather means for the upcoming growing season. Will the lack of snow negatively affect soil moisture? Will the warming trend continue through the spring and summer? WILL I EVER SKI AGAIN?!
With that said, I have noticed that one winter farm product has been affected by the weather: maple syrup.…

The Joy of Cooking
All day I think about suppertime. It seems extreme, but I love a home-cooked meal. I don't always have time for cooking, especially when I have nothing in the pantry except white rice (blah), or no time to make something substantial. But, all day, I think about the meals to be made and the desire (maybe not the motivation...) to make them.
Yesterday I was looking for a chicken noodle soup recipe. Nothing soothes the soul like soup, and a good chicken noodle…

Holiday Cookies
Last year, a HOMEGROWNer posted a Christmas Cookie Countdown recipe for chocolate-covered cherry cookies (all the best flavors baked into one).
This weekend I'll be making dozens and dozens of holiday treats - old favorites like Russian tea cakes and peanut butter Hershey kiss cookies and gingerbread and some new recipes (peppermint bark!).
What are your favorite…

Thank you for the welcome. I am excited to be here and to connect with other members of the community.
I did post a picture of the breadmaking station. It's not much, but it makes me happy.
Thank you Caroline for the warm welcome. I am very new to this blogging and finding and making posts but I looked around this site and I am excited to be a part of a community of people that love the same things I do.
Hey! Thank you for the quick and warm welcome! Hope you can make it down from Boston to Memphis to come to Bristerfest this year!
I'm really unfamiliar with this site. Actually, the reason I joined is to promote the Kickstarter page for Bristerfest, because I felt like the people in this community can really understand the power of community gardens. Seeing as how you found me almost instantaneously, I'd like to ask you your thoughts on what would be the best way to promote our Kickstarter on this site...
Here's the link to our Kickstarter:

Thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks Caroline for the warm welcome. I live in Gallatin, Tennessee and was wondering if anyone here is from Gallatin, TN also that has backyard poultry. The city said that I can't have livestock (poultry) in my backyard, but I know our CO-OP sells them to city folks. I know that poultry isn't livestock, but does the city know this?? I don't want to get into trouble with the city, but I want chickens. Nashville does allow them and we are about 35 minutes from there.
Hello Caroline! Thank you for making me feel at home! As for homegrown.org appearing to me in a dream, the concept of a do it yourself community did. I've been experiencing more lucid dreaming these last few nights. It all started when I tried kombucha last week... So, I've been thinking and planning to brew up some kombucha, and wanted to find a community to learn from. I'll be starting my kombucha after I finish my first grain brew! Doing a porter this time!
Anywho... I'm excited to be here!
Thank you!
Thank you for the warm welcome Caroline, nothing but good feelings about this community...
I live on the west-facing slopes of the Wasatch Mountains and so am gardening in the high desert. It is challenging, but rewarding. I would love to have a quince bush and some berries!
Hi Caroline and thank you! No, I do not make my own wine.... I am the Porfolio Manager for a Winemaker/Javier Alfonso. The winery is Pomum, a small/boutique winery in Woodenville
Hi Caroline,
I have 2 llamas and 2 angora goats and lots of bags of fiber in my basement. I do spin and knit, but not enough to keep up with the animals (angora goats are shorn twice a year). I don't consider myself a fiber expert, but I play with it when I can. Lynn
Hi Caroline--thanks for the welcome and glad to be here. To answer your question, maple tapping is still underway...I noticed the sap running in a recently cut maple stump a few days ago and put the taps in right away. It's been running strong and hopefully will continue for at least a bit longer (we're in the Hudson Valley). Been boiling down syrup in my kitchen all day.
