I do not do this kind of thing on any blog very often, but that means if I am plugging someone, especially for free you should take a note or two. Hillside Heritage Farm is a small farm over in Garrard County Kentucky, not far from the river the same name located out on some rolling hills with an appropriate enough name. It is owned by John and Dorothy Contini and I am proud to claim them, along with the three kids as friends.
Monsanto is pretty much right on the bottom of muck pile as a way of really expressing just how I feel about them. I have never been a very big fan of them anyway and you may recall my questioning of their Round Up product back some number of months ago in a blog. Over the summer I learned of something else and it explained a couple of things to me and made me pretty much as ticked off as I can be.
All around hero for farm and ranch folk is who he is. Baxter Black is best know probably known for his appearances on RFD-TV and NPR morning shows, but for those of you who do not know him, he is a cowboy poet these days by trade. In the past he has been cowboy, large animal vet, and a handful of other jobs here and there. His take on the cowboy life and even that of a rural America is not only genuine, but down to earth and so often presented with a humorous twist that will have you wrenching in laughter.
So it is November… Crisp cooler weather, frosts in the morning, great time for even more coffee consumption and taking it just a little bit easy. Enjoying life a bit more fully. It is also time the NaBloPoMo occurs. By combining the two thoughts above I have decided it is the perfect time to relaunch this blog and get it to being an active site again.
Spent some part of this weekend with a good friend of mine over in Garrard County. We did our usual of talking a lot over some tea as well as talking some more while one or the other of us helped out. It was my turn this time, as he was planting some stuff in the garden. He and his family have finally gotten it going toward selling for a couple of different farmers markets around the area. Some of things in regards they had to go through for that are kind of interesting though.Subscribe / Follow / Networks
