From the Cranberry Bog at Nest's Farm

Pechakucha and the Cranberry Bog



From the cranberry bog up the street at the Nest Farm and the puchakucha in Cape Porpoise last week come the cranberry wreaths for this year's Thanksgiving! Last week at the Pechakucha held in Cape Porpoise at Atlantic Hall someone described her cranberry wreath business. A quick trip to the cranberry bog up the hill at Nest's Farm and voila, cranberry wreaths for Thanksgiving. If you stop at Nest's Farm for cranberries get a gallon of the Maine Apple Cranberry juice-- you'll thank me!

In the Cellar

For Tomorrow's Table

Jars of preserves on a shelf

Green tomato relish, heirloom yellow pear tomato preserves, that are sweet and delish with goat cheese on a cracker, or right out of the jar by the spoonful, and grape juice concentrate from the concord grapes that grow by the side of the road, stored in the cellar for a snowy, blustery February day, when we will reflect on the garden and the warmer days of summer to come!

Weaving on the Farm

 Spinning Dreams


small table-sized weaving loom

This is what often happens on our farm weaving, the weaving of our dreams or perhaps the dreams of someone ease's that have been discarded or misplaced. We might weave with Angora wool sheep wool or simply the stuff of stories. There are many half-finished projects around here!

Fall Sun

On the Front Porch

Praying Mantis on the porch

It has been a glorious year for this praying Mantis who is enjoying the last days of warmth in the sun on the front porch. He or she has completed their part of life's cycle and is enjoying the last of the sune.

Thank you Steve for the great pic!
