Today I found myself crisscrossing a neighbor’s farm, looking over cows. Birds sang. Squirrels foraged. And while we went along ponds, around sinkholes, and along wood and fence lines we found… elderberry! It was once said that you couldn’t go more than a hundred feet in most of the US without running into one. Now, this important plant is far harder to find. But why is the elder so valuable?

In fact, Moody doesn’t consider himself typical in anything. The author of five books on the subject of farming and homesteading, Moody and his wife Jessica are determined to spread the news about the merits of real, honest food and the health benefits that result. (“One fun fact,” he adds. “I am a green belt in judo and performed multiple times in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.”) Continue reading → Share: Tweet Email More Share on Tumblr Pocket Print Like this: Like Loading...

Posted on May 14, 2020 by AllisonErvin Reply In these strange times, we’re all trying to find ways to fill our days and find joy in how we spend them. It’s more difficult now than ever with our options being so limited for how we can spend our time. It’s no wonder that so many people are choosing to take up baking during quarantine!

Putting on an apron and getting to work in the kitchen is something the whole family can get involved in.

One path is well-trod, the other path is overgrown. Which path should he take? The final stanza of the poem reads: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Nearly 30 years ago, my husband and I stood at that metaphorical fork in our lives, and we took the road less t...
