044-Thanksgiving Recap

Our Thanksgiving food traditions. A feast for all.

In this episode we mentioned a roasted pepper jelly appetizer. You can find the recipe in Julia’s first book Simply Delicious and you can find that in the fivefelinefarm.com/mercantile in both ebook and print versions.

And the bonus coupon code for cyber Monday is “Thanks” for 10% off your online purchases in our Mercantile.

043-Discussing Food Insecurity

We continue our conversation with Michael and Beth Gillespie, turning to the topic of food insecurity in our community. We learned what it means to be food insecure and what those of us who are able can do to help.

Thank you for listening and be sure to support your local food banks.

041-Continual Improvements

Every day we are looking for ways to improve our business; products, the Mercantile, marketing or even efficiency. You will also hear a bit about improved lighting in the studio.

Through the winter months, the onsite Farm Fresh Mercantile will be open on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from 10AM to 3:00PM. Watch our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts for specials, including Whittaker Beef. Order beef, pork and chicken on line with them and pick up at Five Feline Farm when they are here.

Julia also described participating in NaNoWriMo and drafting her next book. To get her current books The Long Road to Market or Simply Delicious click here
