Unusual Farm Visit

We had an amazing visit from MEGAFOOD'S CEO, ROBERT CRAVEN.  For Robert's birthday, he decided he wanted to give rather than receive so he and some of his employees came by to support local family farming among other things.  When I saw that help was arriving, (at least that is how I saw it - you know how we are with our visitors by now...) we put him right to work. Since Megafood makes their vitamins from vegetables - farm to tablet, I thought Mr. Craven could plant beets.  He certainly earned his keep that day! There was so much about his visit that was special. Mr. Craven is really about helping people, and giving them access to real nutrition using real nutrients. Its not just about the vitamins though, they wiped out our farm stand - meats, greens, eggs, jellies, syrup, all our products and donated them to a food pantry!

Our organic certification requires detailed documentation and labeling of all our fields. Our fields are named after saints but in honor of all that Mr. Craven does to support the community and farmers we decided to name the new, virgin field that Robert worked on the Robert Craven Field. He is in good company with the saints! Thank you Robert for a beautiful day that will go down in TFO history!

Getting ready for spring!

While outside things are still getting buttoned up for the winter, inside we are getting ready for next season. We have been making gallons of Apple Cider Vinegar from our own organic apples - and I must say, the best apples ever! We hope to have a long line of gluten free items such as this vinegar.

Wally has been waiting all summer for this moment... he planted, tended, harvested, dried and here he is preparing his long awaited organic popcorn - and boy was it worth the wait!  So very tasty indeed!  He has promised to grow a much bigger field next year as it was well worth all the work. With any luck we will still have some in the spring to sell, that is, if it hasn't been all eaten by then...

PS if anyone would like our organic free range eggs, just ring the doorbell, the girls are still going strong this time of year!
