Quality Insurance

Leo works diligently on flower prep days, making sure all arrangements and bouquets are customer ready. Nothing gets past this little guy. Leo's duties previously kept him exclusively indoors, but as you may have noticed, he has successfully integrated himself into outside operations as well.

You've been beaned

Working on some of our kitchen stores here during the lovely wet weather. Will be happy to have these kidney beans ready to go this fall. Needed to add just a bit more water to these guys but we will use this batch here soon and adjust what we learned on the next. They may not be the prettiest looking, but they taste good. Once we get these ironed out, up next will be canning our chili recipe for the cold days this fall.

Have a great Memorial Day!

Take a moment today to think of those who this day is all about and who made it possible. More importantly enjoy it for those who can't. We have wanted a proper flagpole ever since we moved in and am happy that we finally took some time to make that happen. It serves as a reminder that every day is Memorial Day, and that none of this would be possible without the brave men and women who came before and paid the ultimate price.

Dad's Redemption

Since Broken Road Farm sent some of their rainy days up here to Kentucky, Dad took another stab at making a sweet treat. These cheesecake pancakes were a crowd favorite. Sweet and savory with pockets of cream cheese adding a delightful texture these things do not miss.

Do a dollop of Daisies

Or an arrangement of Daisies. These simple yet elegant arrangements feature some of our many, many, many, daisies that we have in bloom throughout the property. Garnished with some native mint providing a fresh aroma for those who take the time to stop and smell the flowers. We will have these, as well as our farm fresh free-range eggs, handmade crotchet items, and freshly made sourdough sandwich bread available for purchase at the Bald K**b Farmers Market today between 9am-12pm. Stop by and see us if you are out and about. Maybe bring an umbrella just in case.

Stepping into Friday

Back when we first built our chicken coop, we bought one of the more affordable electronic solar doors from Amazon. Two years later this thing is still going strong and gives me the peace of mind to let the ladies out in case they beat me awake. They love their door, and love to look cool when using it.

The Butterfly Effect

After about 2 weeks of trying to get these butterflies to sit still for a picture, one finally decided to cooperate. This Chlosyne is one of the many butterflies we see floating around here and they love daisies. Being a flower farm, we are lucky to have many different pollinators around to help us out and we couldn't do it without out them.

Misbehaving, Chicken edition

Free range definitely means free will for these wild ladies. Whether it is guarding our freshly planted tomatoes, helping spread our mulch pile, or taking up a residency in the undercarriage of the Polaris, these hens do as they please. Don't let them fool you, they have dust baths and fresh nesting boxes they just prefer to do things their way.

Goodbye Peonies, Hello Lilies!

As our Peony season draws to an end, we are enjoying the last few of these flowers while they are still around. As the door closes on peonies, we are excited to open a new one for, Blackberry Lilies, Day Lilies, Suprise Lilies and any others that are waiting to surprise us. When the lilies start to show up, they will be made available to you at Rhetts Country Market and the Bald K**b Farmers Market.

Banna Bread Part 2, this time it's sourdough.

It's never a good sign when you leave banana bread on the counter and come home to find half eaten pieces laying around. Seems to be a running theme when someone else takes over the baking duties. I guess it is good that he claims to like it because he has two loafs of it pretty much to himself.
