Our Emergency Readiness Plan 1
The tornadoes that tore through the South in April of this year forced us to rethink how we prepare for an emergency.
Podcast #101 – The Database Is Back!
We were proud to launch The Longleaf Breeze Planting Database two years ago, because we knew how helpful it could be to us and to others as well.
Podcast #100 – Century!
Happy 100th Podcast to us! Hard to believe we’ve been at this every week for just shy of two years.
Podcast #99 – Holidays on the Farm
We just finished a delightful Labor Day weekend with three separate sets of visitors, and it’s made us reflect on how holidays have a different feel to them now that we live on the farm.
Podcast #98 – Cooking Weather
We bought our Sun Oven before we moved to Longleaf Breeze, thinking when we did that it would be a fun novelty. After we’ve settled into life as subsistence farmers, though, it’s become our main cooking tool.
Lodge – Phase 1
We’ve been planning and dreaming for so long about the lodge that I wouldn’t have blamed Amanda for thinking it might never actually happen. Now that we can see real progress, it’s almost anticlimactic.
Podcast #97 – Let’s Move Thanksgiving! 2
President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving Day in 1939. We hereby suggest moving it again, to the end of August. That’s when our production seems to be peaking. And we’re s-o-o-o-o ready for one of those cornucopia displays.
Sweet Potatoes Demanding To Be Eaten
We’ve been away from the farm for several days visiting our children in California, so the Farmer-in-Chief approached Veg Hill with trepidation yesterday.
Podcast #96 – They Grow Things Differently Out There
We’ve just returned from a week in California visiting our children and our grandchild. So much sunshine!
