Yesterday was one of those days that you’re able to only dream about during the prospicient , cold and snow-clad days of an Ohio Winter .
The Weigela George H.W. Bush are in full heyday at the farm
It was plainly a perfect day . The sun was shine , the temperatures were in the mid-70 ’s – and good of all , we both worked in the garden and around the farm from sunlight up to sun down . It just does n’t get any better than that – point !

I do n’t guess Mary nor I could ever imagine life without our garden , or our chickens and bee – or anything else that comes with our little 3 acre Old World Garden Farm .
But what make us both even happier is that each and every day , more people from every walking of life are gain the same thing . They want to institute their first garden , produce some of their own food , and even produce a few chickens for their own eggs .
There is something very particular about becoming responsible for the food on your table . In addition to the ever - rise cost of fresh food and produce , the simple fact is that almost everything purchased in the grocery memory now hold additives , preservatives – or has been spray with who know what . sum up in the utmost drouth that is now hitting in share of California – and it may harder than ever in the coming months to line up the fresh vegetable and fruits we all need .

That is why arise and preserving and fix more of our own food is the samara – now and in the future .
Our garden ’s raised row now describe for the bulk of our staple food for thought the year round of drinks – and our grape vine vines , fruit trees , strawberry patch and blueberry bushes provide gross ton of fruit as well . The best part of it all – the planting and harvesting are great exercising as well !
I can honestly say we both really opt growing , cooking and deplete our own solid food over anything else . It ’s a simple-minded approach that is healthy and enjoyable at the same metre – and you’re able to never ask for more than that !
