Ruminations

Just a quick update on life here.

By William Cross

Not a whole lot going on, an employment change, and a few mishaps is about it. The company I worked fulltime for the past few years just shut down, so Steve Gerencser and I have decided to hang our own shingle out again. You can see the new business website at http://www.seo-shop.com.

I’m an Uncle?!?

By William Cross

Ok, I had the bomb of a lifetime dropped on me last night. My brother Chris called to let me know he had JUST found out he has a 19 year old son. I am still in the “WOW” stage of comprehension.

More on Thanksgiving and Chris’s visit.

By William Cross
Chris just before trying to catch a chicken.

My younger brother Chris came to the farm this thanksgiving season and learned he will always be a city boy at heart. He did love some of the activities we have here at times such as getting new livestock and having to catch it to load it, chasing and catching chickens while singing the Rocky… » read more

Food, Inc. The movie

By William Cross

Personally, I think this video should be on every agrarians blog, website, or whatever you have available. The word should be spread.

Big Ag surely is not going to tell people the truth about their products, so why not do it… » read more

New Beginnings 2009

Well, all the corn we planted this past week is sprouting quite well already, both the sweet corn and the feed corn. We should have a pretty decent harvest from all that this year.

City Life vs Country Life

By Jaime Cross

I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia (the ESVA or the Shore to us natives), a rural area. I always said things like “I can’t wait to get away from here”, “Gosh this has to be the most boring place on Earth” growing up. I mean, you had to drive to another state… » read more

Garden of the Gods

By Jaime Cross

Ok, maybe not of the gods, but close! I started planting today & only got half finished. I thought I’d breeze right through. I didn’t realize what a chore it would be, especially considering how big our garden is. We do have 9 mouths in this household, more at times, so we figured-the bigger the… » read more

Of Earth, Wind, and Fire

For the past few weeks or so, I have probably spent 15-20 hours researching methods of getting “off the grid”, and powering our own electricity needs via numerous sustainable methods.
