  • WE ARE STILL HERE!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi November has arrived and every year I am baffled by the fact that come November 1st, the number of people who visit daily begins to diminish immediately.

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Hello October, with your cooler temperatures and beautiful colors.  We welcome your juicy apples and tantalizing cider.

  • Choosing the Perfect Apple

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Okay I must admit it, I am an apple snob! Yup, that’s right- I have said it out loud for all to hear “I am an apple Snob”!  With so many fresh apple varieties to choose from here on the farm, I can honestly say I will snub the generic bagged

  • A Corny Tale

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Why can’t you tell secrets in a field of corn? There are too many ears! Okay, I know this is a pretty corny way to start my blog. Haha, I am crackin’ me up but I can’t help it- I love corn season! Botanically known as Maize, corn has been around

  • Small Space Gardens

    Sixty Seconds with Judi When I think about the quintessential gardener, I visualize a sprawling acre or so of a perfectly placed mix of perennials and annuals that you would see in a magazine. But, we all know that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, there are those who appreciate the plan. They

  • Om

    Sixty Seconds with Judi I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time turning my brain off. A million thoughts go through my head like cars on a highway.
