My son and daughter-in-law's wonderful farm. (My grandson's are 6th Generation farmers!) Top notch beef. Pasture raised, winter barn grain and hay finished for just enough marbling/fat to make the meat not dry or strong. You can find them at the Chelsea Farmer's Market each Wednesday and Saturday or reach out to order any cuts you might want, a 1/4, a side or a whole for your freezer.
Stock up. Great beef!

Here are a few articles (in the comments) that will help you understand why sourdough is healthier, easier to digest, and more gentle on your digestive system, including blood glucose levels.

There is bread: White enriched bleached flour bread, that serves as a soft medium for other foods.
And then... there is Bread baked with carefully chosen hard red wheat flour grown in the heartland of America, stone ground, unbleached, no additives, that is hand shaped, coaxed with wild yeasts, and baked to a crunchy chewy soulful perfection.
When you eat white store bread, you can fill your hunger.
But when you eat bread that is baked with the nuances of crust, crumb, soul, and song in it, you will discover that you are not only feeding your hunger, but your mind and spirit as well.
You'll become interested in Davinci's sketches, Bach cello concertos, all while learning another language and considering a second career as a sommelier.
If you'd like to try a loaf of soulful bread, stop by the Chelsea Farmers Market tomorrow and procure a loaf before they are gone. I sell out fast!
Here's to the inspiration that slow food feeds!

Due to a scheduling issue, Merida, my number one barn cat, did not make it to get spayed this spring in time before she decided to welcome an ‘orange gentleman’ to the barn. 🧡
As a result, I have some beautiful orange Creamsicle kittens for adoption. These cats are tame, friendly, healthy, and would make wonderful pets and/or barn cats. If you are looking for barn cats, I will be vetting if you have a good barn for them that is warm and protected. Send me a message if you would like to interview for one or 5.
5 available. 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈
(Please, no comments or opinions about spaying as that has already been addressed- thank you.)

Squirrel's Nest Bakery, the baked goods joy of Wild Apple Farms, has fresh chewy crunchy sourdough loaves available today at the Chelsea Farmers Market from 10 am till 3:00 pm.
Sourdough bread since 2013. Come try what the fuss is all about before we sell out (breads tend to sell out several hours before end of market, so come by early!)
And, watch for autumn offerings coming soon! (:
