I almost forgot! We made cinnamon pickles this summer in anticipation for the holidays. What are cinnamon pickles? They are cucumbers soaked in a food-grade lye and then soaked in a sugar solution with red-hot candies for several days before processing. They are crisp with a sweet cinnamon flavor. It has been years since having any. Who remembers having these when you were younger?
Cinnamon Pickles $9/pint

We are also starting to ramp up making cookie platters, rosettes and Krumkaka again this year.

How can it be the holiday season already? The fresh snow is a welcome sight as it changes the landscape (could do without the cold).
As you gather with friends and family, here are a few of our products that always make it to our table.

Are you looking to jazz up your sandwiches? Try our Stone Ground or Sweet/Hot Mustards. The sweet/hot mustard is not spicy unless you put lots on it, and then it has a kick, like wasabi. Something more sweet and festive is our Cranky Cranberry Jelly (Cranberry Jalapeño), a unique combination perfect for the holidays as a turkey condiment.

A new product this year is pepper butter. It’s a pepper-based spread that is great on sandwiches or as a pretzel dip.

Have a special breakfast? Add some strawberry/rhubarb jam, chokecherry jelly, or chokecherry syrup. It is always a hit.

Don’t forget some pickled watermelon.

Hey, 701 Homestead; are you still around?
Yes, last week, we returned from a six-week road trip to visit and hike several national parks and monuments. WOW, what a fantastic experience! Pictures of these places don't do justice to the scale and grandeur of such beautiful places. This was the first trip we took without reservations or a set itinerary, which is way outside the comfort zone for someone like Chris. Anyway, we are back in the kitchen, looking forward to the next trip, and work to find the balance of the business and retirement.

!!! Thank you !!!
We wanted to say thank you to everyone who supported us by purchasing pickling cucumbers this year. We hope your canning will be enjoyed well into winter.

Yesterday was sad as we cut down the vines. It feels so empty and final. It's crazy at the same time, but it's exciting as we start thinking about the next growing season and transitioning to the many other things we offer.

As the growing season winds down, the flowers are in full bloom. If you would like an arrangement, let us know. $20 +tax

Thanks again; we really appreciate the support.

We had a busy weekend extracting honey and getting started on salsa. This is a rewarding time of the year, as all the time spent caring for bees, the garden, and flowers starts to pay off when you see everything at its peak.

Adding bees to our property has been rewarding and educational. We feel more in tune with the plants and trees as they add another piece to the growing cycle. This year has been one of our better years. For several years, we tried to do cut comb, and we are excited that it worked out this year.

What is a cut comb? Most beekeepers provide a starting point for the bees to build a comb (the cells we typically think of) called the foundation. The foundation is a plastic sheet with a thin comb structure, which the bees use as a starting point to build out the comb quicker with a more consistent structure. We provide the bees with an empty frame with no foundation for cut comb, and they build everything. This takes much more work for the bees, but we can harvest once they fill the cells with nectar, dry, and cap it. Since there is no plastic foundation, we can cut out pieces of the comb. Eating raw comb is a real treat; taking a chunk, putting it in your mouth, and biting it down gives you an explosion of honey and flavor. Then chew on the wax, like gum, and spit out the chunk of wax at some point. We compare it to those wax bottle candies filled with liquid when we were kids (wow, wonder if they still make those).

If you need local raw honey, please consider helping support our bees.

What else are we working on? Filling orders from people on the waiting list for chokecherry jelly, chokecherry syrup, salsa, candied jalapenos, and tomato soup. We have also been enjoying putting together floral arrangements. If you would like some flowers, please reach out.

Good Morning! I love days like this. After a couple of cups of coffee, head out to pick some flowers and produce. It's always fun to find honey bees and big bumbles that had just a little too much fun the day before and find places to rest. Have a great day, and remember to slow down and enjoy it.

08/22/2024

Good Morning!
Remember us next time you need flowers. We make arrangements ranging from $15 to $20.

On days like today, we are thankful to spend the cool mornings in the garden and the hot afternoons in the house canning. 😁☀️

We were able to pick more cherry tomatoes and have 2 packs available.

Also checked on the hives this morning and the honey is looking beautiful. Just look at how clear the frame we are holding up is. We are going to make cut comb out of these frames. We are excited to be able to offer cut comb for the first time. It is something we have wanted to do for many years. 😁. We will be harvesting our honey in a couple of weeks.

Also just a quick reminder that we will buy back any empty canning jars. Each jar is worth $.25 which will be applied as a credit to your account.

Update ~ All the flowers have been spoken for. Thank you for all the help to spread some joy.
The Bis/Man area has had some interesting weather the past few weeks. It has impacted many people and businesses. We are looking for three people who are willing to brighten someone's day. We have three (now 9) smaller floral arrangements to share with someone who could use a pick-me-up. Just comment that you can help us out.

Have a great day.

Even the Arc had fresh produce. 😁

Had to put the Muck boots on before heading out to the garden this morning. We have some beautiful strawberries and cherry tomatoes available. The cherry tomatoes are a mix of Sun Sugar and Sweet 100.

We were also able to make some Pickled Beets. Our beets have struggled in past years so it was exciting to finally be able to offer them again and fill the orders for the people on the waiting list.

Strawberries - $5 for a 1 lb pack (2 available)
Cherry Tomatoes - $4.50 for a 1 lb pack (3 available)

Pickled Beets - $7/pint

It feels like fall. It's a chilly, peaceful morning. I'm spending it picking chokecherries and looking forward to holding a nice cup of hot coffee.

*** Give Away *** - The flowers all been spoken for.
It's kinda dreary out there, so we figured we would try to brighten the day. If you or someone you know could use a little pick me up, let us know. We have three small arrangements of flowers in quart jars we would love to share.

Just comment below to reserve one of the three available. Also, for fun, what are your favorite things to do on a day like this?

It would be best if you could pick them up today before 7.
