I had a wonderful time away with Husband, but before I share some of that with you, I'll share the bad news. I went to Concord today. The issues to be discussed were as follows: NH House Bill # 1172 Label seeds with Genetically Modified Organisms http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102952052573&s=215&e=001j8G5QbIxw2XbL930A3tizMfQuYF-Ppl2cl1VW849TK5D4r76obJ3j4X15YYrcOT-RP8Ze3UNXPd8VodbpKsfpNkipV1xCLNJGS1Sgulw7_c_vNMmtJwDW5d5RsOcKdFR0s5XjVV0vQkZElGPzrSf893YzEeMfnwKCDz6BKqD-Ag= More and more people raise their own food [...]

Husband surprised me with a night out, no, scratch that, an OVERnight out! His mom is coming to stay with the girls, and we are going out for an evening date, a night at a local Inn, and coming back tomorrow. He had wanted to bring me to the Inn where we spent our honey [...]

NAIS, National Animal Identification System has been dropped by the USDA!! I'm so happy. This system would have been costly, inefficient and put significant undue stress on small farmers, with little to, quite arguably NO benefit to the health and well being of American's or their food systems. I went to one of the town [...]
She Found Another Reason to Love High Mowing Seeds of Vermont November 27, 2009

I love High Mowing Seeds. The company has been great in the areas of high quality product, customer service and valuing the future of farming. When I was recently perusing their site, starting to fill my cart for the 2010 seed order, I stumbled across another reason to love this company. High Mowing Seeds was [...]

A great article in our local paper about the NH Natural Heritage and Agricultural Fair that happened on September 12, and I've mentioned on the blog during the planning stages, being a board member myself, and after we enjoyed the day. The writer did a great job recapping the event, and if you are local [...]

I'm still out at the Rochester Fair most days. The incubation is going pretty well, especially considering all the upsets we've worked through. The incubator, that actually incubates the eggs for the almost 20 days before they go out to the fair, spiked to 108 degrees! We were worried there wasn't going to be any [...]

So it doesn't rain for a month, and then today, the day of the NH Natural Heritage and Agricultural Fair, it drizzles, it sprinkles, is rains and it pours! All day, water falling from the sky. But despite the abysmal weather, we had a blast! The vendors were such good sports, huddled under their tents, [...]
She Stumbled Across an Interesting Coincidence July 7, 2009

Remember yesterday that I mentioned the USDA just doesn't "get it" even though the Secretary was tossing around the nice, happy, fun buzz words of the current day? Well, case in point… The USDA proudly announced they have "developed" an egg laying chicken that is less aggressive, by a significant level than the standard factory [...]

Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the USDA is on a Tour discussing agriculture in states across the nation. He met with NH dairy farmers at 9 to discuss the fact they are taking a loss on each gallon of milk they process because the commodity price is so low right now. People want cheap food, and [...]

I came across a NY Times article about big companies like Frito-Lay jumping on the local food bandwagon. Claims that their chips are local (to some places) because the potatoes were grown there, for example, there is a processing plant in Florida, and a farmer that provides potatoes to the company also in Florida. This [...]
