Welcome!Welcome to our blog! This is where we journal about the latest experiences our family has had as we resurrect my husband's boyhood farm. My husband is a former extension educator as well as former industrial seed company agronomist/economist. He left all that along with a steady paycheck to pursue a passion of our family's to have a family business and to grow food the way it was meant to be grown. We are quite literally starting from the grass roots!We have hosted many workshops teaching others how to garden, can, raise and process chickens. My husband has consulted with farmers in the U.S. and was even asked to volunteer to take a trip to Russia to teach about sustainable agriculture. All that to say that we are passionate about what we do and are passionate about sharing it with others. We are excited to announce another project we have been working on... By spring, we will be releasing the firstfruits of our educational DVD's! We are wrapping up our DVD on chicken and hog butchering as well as one on a family tradition of making a traditional sausage from Hungary! In addition, we have several more DVD's in the works. Producing one's own food is an art and a tradition that was once considered the norm and was expected. Even folks in the city had chickens as well as a pig and a garden which were used for their sustenance. We are excited that it is a tradition that is no longer on the verge of extinction. Our purpose in making these DVD's is to not only encourage and teach those who wish to learn, but also to expose folks to the realities of where their food comes from. Ham doesn't come from the grocery, it comes from a real, live animal that was created for our sustenance. Chicken legs don't grow on foam trays in the grocery store, they come from an animal that was created and raised for our food. Stay tuned for official release dates of our DVD's! We are sure you won't be disappointed!
