But somehow, at some point in my life I developed self doubt, and I think it started with tiny little, seemingly…

You find all kinds of wonderful families in unlikely places. I was lucky enough to be able to buy a horse about a year and half ago. I never would have imagined that this horse would lead me to a wonderful family I never knew I could have. This is my barn family! Many of us go to the barn for many reasons, including exercise, therapy, stress relief, and companionship. I go to the barn for all of…
“No hour of life that is spent in the saddle is wasted.” ~Winston S. Churchill Yesterday I spent some quality time with Ace getting over a large hurtle for me. In a series of unfortunate events I have not been able to ride Ace consistently this fall and winter. I spent all of last winter and this past summer working with Ace at least 5 times a week to build our relationship and improve his behavior. We were…
Written by Kate Morrison Nestled in the hills of Pennsylvania is a small farm owned and operated solely by a landscaping, fiddle-playing pig farmer. Dylan Whitehill, like me, is managing his farm by himself. He was drawn to farming at a young age and spent summers at his aunt’s house neighboring his grandfather’s dairy farm. During his time there he rode horses, baled hay, pulled weeds and raised chickens. They even had a petting zoo for some time…

I have successfully (by no means perfectly) made cheesecakes in the past but never chocolate. I found a recipe online that looked fairly easy. The recipe started with crush 20 oreos. First I pondered 20 how did they decide on 20…. not 21 not 19, 20 oreos. Secondly do I leave the filling in or out?…
When I moved to upstate NY I wanted a healthy and sustainable option for meat. I chgives you beneficial vitamins and minerals such as B12, B3, selenium and phosphorus. While being nutritious rabbits also produce poop, a lot of poop. Rabbit poop is different from other manure that it does not need to age before being added to your garden. In the summer all the rabbits waste (urine, feces, and any extra food scraps) falls into worm bins. We mix…
