  • March!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi March proclaims the beginning of Spring. So, lettuce rejoice. Yes, I did that on purpose. Now is the time to prepare those beds and get busy planting some early crops. With the help of the Farmer’s Almanac and a few old wives tales I have put together a great little guide for

  • It Ain’t Over Yet!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi The other day a friend was complaining to me that it’s August and summer is over. Someone else chimed “Oh yes, back to school now”! Now wait just a minute here, Summer is not over! We still have 4 weeks of lazy days at the pool, backyard barbeques, spending Saturday nights in

  • Finding the Farmer in You

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Imagine this: The sun is rising on a hot, beautiful morning. You head out the door where you faintly hear the roosters making their morning calls. The air smells of hay, freshly mowed grass, and yes, a little manure. You grab your hat, your sunscreen, and a bottle of water and

  • Linvilla’s Own Bee Story

    Sixty Seconds with Judi I overheard a conversation the other day; a man was asking where to buy Raw Honey and someone suggested Linvilla Orchards. Strangely enough another man chimes in and says “Linvilla Orchards?” “They don’t keep their own bees and they certainly don’t make their own honey!” “Nothing could be further from the

    Sixty Seconds with Judi This week just before the snow landed in my yard, I happened across a dandelion in my garden. I know most people would not be happy to see a dandelion anywhere in their yard, but for me it was a promise of Spring. I understand this is a fake spring, a

  • Eat Your Vegetables!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Here we are at the end of January and I have to wonder – How many of you have already given up on your resolutions? They say that is takes at least 21 days to make a change in your routine to stick. 21 days, now that doesn’t seem that long.

  • A Healthier Me

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Recently I have been consulting with a nutrition specialist. I am (Ugh Umm) at a certain age where I need to be more conscious of my eating habits. Long gone are those days where I can eat whatever I want and not see an immediate impact on my weight, blood sugar

  • Dancing to the Beet

    Sixty Seconds with Judi When I was a kid I hated beets. I mean I “really” hated them! We didn’t eat them much at my house and when they were around, they were poured from a can. I always thought they smelled funny; like dirty socks. Obviously because of this memory, I was always afraid

  • Let’s Talk about Parsnips

    Sixty Seconds with Judi In honor of the Linvilla Orchard’s Winter Vegetable Sale, I have decided to feature a vegetable in my next few blogs. This week I wanted to start with Parsnips. So why start with Parsnips? My family and I were out to dinner at our family’s favorite restaurant. My son and I
