Marble Family Farms: Breakfast Menu....

http://marblefamilyfarms.blogspot.com/2010/04/breakfast-menu.html

Wednesday, April 7, 2010. This morning I ate poached eggs with sauteed onions and spinach over toasted and buttered rye bread. YUMMY! All ingredients fresh, which makes it so much better. The eggs are great right now, they are very rich and vibrant due to the fact that the chickens have been scraping around the flower gardens eating bugs and whatever else they can find! So here is a picture of Richards beautiful, fresh, clean eggs instead. If you are interested in having local food all year long at a dis...

Marble Family Farms: How to grow garlic

http://marblefamilyfarms.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-grow-garlic.html

Thursday, July 29, 2010. How to grow garlic. Yesterday we harvested the garlic. already! The garlic harvest usually indicates to me that summer is winding down and fall is on its way, but it seems too early this year. It is one of my favorite garden tasks, you tug on the stock and a whole garlic clove is unearthed, kept safe for a whole year by dirt and hay. It is so flavorful and healthy, don't you love it? In this blog, I will tell you how to grow killer garlic! It is easy to do, low maintenance. It is...

Marble Family Farms: December 2009

http://marblefamilyfarms.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 7, 2009. Here is a cute picture of Honey, she has had a long summer learning the ropes of being a mouser for Marble Family Farms. She still has yet to catch a mouse (as far as we know), but training was rigorous. Now she gets to take the winter off. We have ordered the greenhouse and it is on its way. The ground posts have been pounded into the ground, and the skirt has been buried. Every time I let them out of the barn, they run and prance like spring lambs. Hope to see you there.

Marble Family Farms: March 2011

Sunday, March 27, 2011. Baking with Whole Wheat. I have forgotten how to bake with all-purpose flour. I learned how to bake with nothing but. Now it seems that even recipes I try to make with even 50% all-purpose flour turn out tough as a brick! When I met Andy six years ago, he challenged. Rate I still haven't been able to get pie crust just right. Pies, awesome muffins, quiche, fruit pies, all whole wheat! We believe that just by adding whole grains to your diet you can really improve your health. ...

Marble Family Farms: February 2010

http://marblefamilyfarms.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 23, 2010. I realized that I really haven't said much about my sheep. So I'll tell you about them now. I really think that animals want babies, it's just the way nature works. This spring I am going to have to learn to shear them. I can wash, card, spin and knit the wool. Now I just need to learn how to dye it! Maybe you'll see some of the finished product at the Farmers Market this year! Sunday, February 21, 2010. Here is our operation in a nutshell:. Apple Pecan Coffee Cake. Second, de...

Marble Family Farms: May 2010

http://marblefamilyfarms.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 17, 2010. It's time to shear! It's warm, the bugs are buzzing, and the sheep are BAAAAA-ing! It's time to shear! What an adventure that was! I took a course through the University of Maine Cooperative Extension on how to shear a sheep. With a lot of guidance from a very patient expert, I proudly sheared my first sheep, and watched as 20 other beginners did the same. It was a very large, 160 lb. beautiful yearling with thick brown wool. Her legs seemed longer than mine! After the belly and hin...

Marble Family Farms: July 2009

http://marblefamilyfarms.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2009. I haven't written in a while, I apologize! We have finally had some sunshine here in Farm-town. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote. The biggest news is that I have 3 new sheep! Their names are Ramona, Amelia, and Beatrix. They are Corriedales, a mom and 2 babies. The two lambs have black spots on their noses, feet, knees, ears and the tops of their heads! I got them so that they would eat grass, poop, and grow nice clean wool! Lots and lots of basil and parsley. As...

Marble Family Farms: June 2009

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Keeping it All Under Control! To all of my gardening friends. don't let the weeds break you! You can do it! Just keep weeding, mulching, hoeing, and don't lose hope! Even if there are a few (or even sometimes a lot of) weeds in your garden, veggies will still grow.*. It's been a long week, but we have been so productive! It only rained for about 20 minutes today, we got so much weeded. Monday we had some help weeding the Asparagus, and got it all done! Also just a reminder that ...
