Some of you have suggested that we start a blog about Quillisascut to keep you updated on what is going on around here and to help keep us all in touch. My hope is that this blog will be more then just my ramblings about goings on around the farm and the Pampered Pets of Pleasant Valley. This is a place for all of us to meet and share our discoveries about our local food communities and new insights or revelations about things that matter. My dream is that this will be a safe place to continue to share our stories.
Fall always surprises me, in that there is still so many projects to tend. The garden has been harvested and now we need to prepare everything for storage. Today carrots will go into bags and be buried in our barrel root cellar (a galvanized garbage can that is buried in the ground) the carrots are put in bags of around 3 pounds each and then layered in the can. The lid fits on nice and snug to keep out unwanted visitors, then the whole thing is mulched with a layer of straw and covered with plastic. On a brisk sunny winter day we can uncover the pile, take off the lid and pull out a bag or two of fresh crisp carrots. Oh such wonderful memories of spring they will reveal, when Jackie Freeman was planting her first garden and we photographed her putting in the line of seeds. She was wearing a great big smile!
