Farm Life

Rediscover your

love for County Living 

Summer is an exciting season for farmers. We have the opportunity to watch our crops grow in the warm summer sun and rejoice at the timely rains. Hay-making is a memory of every farm kid and we are busy ‘making memories’ for John-Scott and Katie. We’ve also included a number of cousins and friends in this season’s hay adventures. The farmers markets are in full swing and friendships are developed with the other vendors and our customers in the various communities. Meadow flowers are blooming and the butterflies and grasshoppers thrive in the fields around the farm. Family members return to the farm for leisurely visits and to enjoy recipes like “Huckleberry Scones” and “Zucchini Pie”.

As the crickets begin their late summer songs, we know it is time for the sweet corn to be enjoyed with Beef Barn burgers and steaks. For almost two decades, John-Scott and Katie Port have had a roadside stand selling sweet corn. In days gone by, it was heart warming to drive to the farm and see John-Scott and his friend Jake with our faithful golden retriever along with Katie Port with her Tweety Bird umbrella sitting at the end of the driveway with a pile of fresh sweet corn for sale. We now sell our sweet corn from the Beef Barn, so watch for the signs in mid-to-late August to see when it is ready.

howling winds, driving sleet and bone-chilling temperatures are tempered with the knowledge that the barns are snug and dry. The land is being renewed under the blanket of snow, there is a fire in the hearth at home, and all is well under a clear, bright, star-studded sky. And seed catalogs arrive in the late January mail…
