One of the great benefits of being a farmer is knowing where to get the best food. You don’t have to farm in the same town for generations and generations to find where the best food in your area is.
My husband had a terrible accident six weeks ago and has been recovering with baby steps back to health since. And, in this darkest time for our family, our community has been the light that shines through.
On Saturday, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m.–4 p.m., over a dozen Granby farms will open their gates to the public. Experience the variety of agriculture that Granby has to offer.
I get asked a lot, “Are your cows grass fed?” A fair question, right?
We are about to watch another cornfield in town get developed—houses, condos, roads and driveways. I’m sure the people who will live there would love our little farm town.
Since I’ve become a farmer, I’ve learned so much about our food system. It has drastically changed the way our family eats.
I’m not sure our kids know they are growing up on a farm. Ever since they can remember there have been animals, lots of space and plenty of dirt.
I’ve vowed to be positive, so don’t get me wrong: life is hard. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
Several years ago, and for my entire life before that, I thought of food as something to satisfy hunger. Sometimes I thought of it as entertainment; think: a meal on an airplane, popcorn at the movie theater.
The growing season is here! It always sounds fun to join the club of “Local Foodies”, but there’s work to be done, kids’ activities, let’s face it, LIFE.
