I’m really comfortable with canning, dehydrating, and storing food from our garden. But I’ve never really experimented much with fermentation. I did make the best sauerkraut ever last fall with a head of fresh farmers’ market cabbage. And honestly, that gave me the confidence to try something else new – fermented cranberry pineapple honey.

If you come to our house on a Saturday morning, chances are we’ll have homemade biscuits and jelly with bacon, eggs, and a hot cup of coffee. Or maybe we’ll have a blackberry muffin or blueberry waffles with hickory syrup. And now that my new bowls from Wayfair have arrived, our weekend breakfast has gone…

The holidays are sneaking up on us, and the farm is starting to look a little more festive every day — twinkling lights on the porch, cocoa on the stove, and that cozy feeling that only winter brings.
