With this being our first attempt to do any gardening since we've moved back to my family farm, we are learning quite a lot. One of those things is, there are a lot more rocks in the old garden than I remember as a kid! I had broken up some of the hillier parts that … Continue reading Garden stuff update, and shortened term plans

Gathering Data: future cheese cave?
Among the many things we are interested in doing in the future is making cheese. We already make yogurt cheese (see here and here) whenever we make yogurt, which can be used right away, but we're interested in making cheeses that need to be aged. Which requires a place to age them. Like a cheese … Continue reading Gathering Data: future cheese cave?

Now that we've been here for a couple of months, I've looked back at some things. Now I want to look forward. I had some idea of what would need to be done here before we moved in, and not a lot has changed. Ultimately, what this house really needs is a top to bottom … Continue reading Looking Forward
