Wednesday: The BEST day to live in Clarion!

You don't mind a nip in the air and a drip at the end of your nose, right? Sign up in the Beef Barn. We're not anywhere close to sold out, so if you've been waiting to see if there is room, rest assured. We'll eat beef, talk, and look at cows. That, friends, is a good evening.

Here is where to eat this week: It's Take-Out Tuesday!!

Prohibition Pastries is located at 7105 Reynolds St in Pittsburgh, and the shop is on my ‘absolutely worth the trip’ list for the city.

There are the cows. Where is the beef?

This rather dreary February Monday has me dreaming about steak, and when I’m in la-la land these days the steak I’m picturing is grassfed. Call me a product of the times, I don’t care.

Farm Dog Friday!!!

The storage space, you see, is the Hound's favorite place in the house, so it was business as usual during a recent decluttering extravaganza when I hauled the little dog up the ladder with me.

Winter Farm Tour: Get out of the house and live a little!

I've been talking with a few people who are getting cabin fever. The winter hasn't been too bad thus far, but early evenings and a lack of activities are really starting to be a drag for everyone who enjoys an active lifestyle.

Take hope, friends, because we're hosting a farm tour that will engage your mind, increase your network of local food fanatics, and get you outside!

Happy Wednesday! The BEST day to live in Clarion.

This midweek food rejuvenation is no random accident - it coincides perfectly with customers' shopping preference to fill the refrigerator before Friday night kicks off a glorious weekend. Face it: when you have some time off, you don't want to spend it shopping. Visit us today, eat well tomorrow.

A Case for Cows

A good method to stir up gatherings lacking edifying conversation is to casually drop the comment that eating beef is a good thing for our environment. Before you utter the words, though, make sure you’ve located the exit. The mob will attack.

Take-Out Tuesday! Zack's, New Bethlehem

This morning I logged in to my email and was surprised to see the following headline in Pittsburgh Magazine's daily update: 'Why is this food worth a drive to New Bethlehem?'

The Effort of Being Alive

Maybe the world could use a little less scientific convenience and a little more meaningful work.

Farm Dog Friday!!

People regularly ask me if all of the dog's adventures are staged for his weekly spotlight, and the answer is no, Oscar's stories are real.
