If you're growing cucumbers, you know how quickly they can produce from, what seems like a few hours, to overnight!  And before you know it, you have way more cukes than you know what to do with! What DO you do with them all?  A person can only eat so many! Have every ever made pickles?  Sweet, dill, bread and butter...? We love them here!  I have made them by waterbath canning and in a huge crock, but my favorite and easiest way to make them is in the refrigerator. They come out crisp, crunchy, and of course, cold.

Frustrated by dietary dairy restrictions?  Do you have digestive problems so bad that you can't even enjoy a simple glass of milk?  Have you been told you are lactose intolerant or maybe you have severe allergies that keep you from enjoying a meal with your family!You've probably heard a lot of talk about raw milk lately.  It's a popular subject around my farm.  But just like anything else, buzz words and labeling can be very confusing. Maybe you've heard rumors that raw milk is unsafe?  Or that it's illegal?  Or you don't even know what it is!  So what are...
