Camping @ Possum Tail Farm

I don't think it's possible for my camp stay at Possum Tail Farm to have been any better. When I first arrived, Brian, their son and their puppy welcomed me and kindly showed me several camping spots tucked around their property that I could choose from. They were all so picturesque, there's no…

Meeting Challenges with Flexibility

  As I write this, I’m finishing up my last day working on Possum Tail Farm with the Kahly’s. Looking out the window, I can see the skies today are clear and the sun is shining brilliantly on the hills, and I can already tell today will be a typical hot summers day, a departure from some of the…

Katherine's Farm Experience

Sabbatical

     Sabbatical   Whew!  We are taking some deep breaths in as we navigate having more time for our children and our hobbies outside of our farm.  It seems almost impossible to be a farmer and avoid being a workaholic and we succumb to the ever present demand of the animals for whom we care.…

Egg CSA Chicken CSA and 14 year-olds saving the world

Crazy Emails Our online shop host Barn2Door recently had a bug in their system.  It ended up triggering many errant e-mails to customers.  It was really annoying for everybody.  The upside is that customers who received those pesky e-mails can use the coupon code SORRY5 to save $5 off your next…

Spring?

Spring Is Spring around the corner?  We’ve had a few good snows and melts.  That means we do our best to manage the amazing amount of water that comes down from the road and into our front field.  Our first year back in Grandma and Grandpa's house that water ended up flooding our basement.  Brian…
