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 friends!
On this episode of our podcast we discuss all the things we are doing this time of year. It is super busy with harvest, Mercantile sales, our delivery route and preserving food for winter.
We also talk a bit about how Julia learned some of her building skills from her father, way back in childhood.
Don’t forget about our upcoming events: Kwiksilver Karaoke on September 11, 2021 and our Fall Festival featuring music by the Luna Halos on October 9, 2021. Both are sure to be a great time.
But don’t wait for an event to come to the Farm! The Mercantile is open every Friday and Saturday from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM (with the exception of Labor Day weekend) through the season.
Until next time,
Donna, Julia and the Felines

Hello again,
It is nearing the end of July as we record this and the garden is in full production. We are eating fresh garden tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant and sweet corn. This is the best time of year for both cook and gardener.
We give a review of using all Janie’s Mill flour in our English Muffins. The simple change in flour makes a world of difference.
Mark your calendars for our upcoming events: September 11 we will have Kwiksilver Karaoke and October 9 will be our 3rd annual Fall Festival. Both will be a lot of fun.
On this episode, we hope you notice a small upgrade in quality with our recording. In our on-going efforts to improve everything we do, we are working on the podcast as well.
Until next time,
Donna, Julia and the Felines
P.S. Let us know how we can serve you better.
