Hello from Five Feline Farm!
As you can imagine, even though there is always much to be done on the farm, there are also times when a break is in order.
To this end the Mercantile will be closed on Labor Day weekend. And this podcast is a replay of a previous interview with our friends Michael and Beth Gillespie. We really enjoyed recording the episode and hearing it again ourselves.
The Mercantile will re-open on Friday, September 10, 2021 and Saturday, September 11, 2021 we will host Kwiksilver Karaoke for music in the crib. Come out and enjoy.
Until next time,
Donna, Julia and the Felines
Hello!
Yes, it is that time of year for all things tomato. There is nothing quite like a fresh from the garden, sun warmed tomato. Our tomatoes are at peak ripeness and production as we record this episode. We are eating fresh sliced tomatoes and Caprese-style salads at almost every meal.
Of course, we are also preserving tomato products for winter use. Sauce, salsa, Bloody Mary mix and enchilada sauce as well as dehydrating some for “sun-dried” tomatoes.
As usual, we are thinking ahead to how we can continue to improve and reinvent our business. You will be seeing new short courses in the future, teaching our methods on specific topics. If you have questions you would like to see answered in this way, shoot us an email, text or hit us up on social media.
In the meantime, mark your calendars for the following important dates:
September 3-4, 2021-Mercantile closed for Labor Day
September 11, 2021-Kwiksilver Karaoke in the Crib
October 9, 2021-Fall Festival featuring music by the Luna Halos
Until next time,
Donna, Julia and the Felines
In this week’s episode we share our vision for the garden area and how we have started to implement that vision.
This week at the Farm has been hot. Humid and hot. But that doesn’t stop us.
The timing was right in the garden to replace some of the in-ground planting areas with raised beds. The end result is exactly what we wanted even though the weather was not cooperative.
Even while we work on improving the garden, we are also continuing to dream up new things that will be useful to our customers. Keep coming back to learn more about how we are transforming some of Donna’s photos and inspiration into a tool for you.
Until next time,
Donna, Julia and the Felines
Hello!
This episode covers all of our celebrations from the past week (celebrating Donna’s birthday) and our current garden tasks.
As we talked about the special spaghetti dinner we had on Sunday, it reminded us of an article Julia posted to Medium. Here’s a link if you would like to read:

This is a fun time of year when harvest is underway and we get to eat fresh food straight from the garden. Plus we are preserving as much as necessary for the upcoming winter.
Don’t forget our upcoming events: Karaoke by Kwiksilver on September 11, 2021 and our 3rd Annual Fall Festival featuring music by the Luna Halos on October 9.
Until next time,
Donna, Julia and the Felines
