Comment on Stocking Up For Winter by Fantastagirl

Is the $2/lb already processed or do you need to pay the locker fees as well. If that price is the already processed price than you got a good deal.

Otherwise – live weight market steers are going for between $0.80 and $0.90 per pound, according to my local auction house.

We purchased a 1/2 beef paying $0.85/lbs live weight and then about $220 in locker fees, but that was in March.

What a great secret Iowa is. I think many of us prefer to keep it that way

Comment on Johnny Appleseed Comes to Iowa! by Penny Kenyanjui

I was always touched by the story of Johnny Appleseed, and felt if I had another life, I’d want to do what he did, just plant food for people and leave that as a legacy.

My grandparents, William Edgar and Louelsa Mason Deer
were from Corning, Iowa. The moved sometime after their marriage to Kolin, Montana and wheat farmed. They left when my Dad was 2 [1921], having lost the farm, but Grandpa urban farmed for many years in St John’s, an area of Portland, Oregon. I got my love of growing things from him.
He always made it seem such a miracle.

I wish you many happy re-enactment years; and good apples.

DM man that was pretty mean. Update your Facebook status to this link with visions of swashbuckling pirate stories only to find out that now (I too) have to make up my own! lol

Incidentally, I made three cruises around the entir Med and never saw a single pirat. However maybe one of the Naval Aviators saw them after they launched of the cats.

Comment on The Colonel may be coming to town by seriouswhimsey

The description of the Dubuque Farmer’s Market sounds much like the approximately-once-per-month Farmer’s Market in Cedar Rapids. (This is different than the weekly market.) The only-occasionally market in C.R. is one you could participate in. It IS like a festival, with foods, flowers, crafts, music, crowds, and people walking their dogs. It covers several blocks and vendors from several communities gather here. You’d fit right in, as would The Colonel, which, BTW, is gorgeous!

I just knew that poem was going to end badly when I got to the second stanza! I should have stopped while I was ahead

So love to hear about your B&B adventures!

I’ve been known to let the guests cook us a meal if I can get away with it (think Tom Sawyer)

hmmmmm, I did it to save the animals

What a great day! The “Colonel” looks pretty cool – so do those Royal Courts! I am going to have to find a local farmers’ market in my area – that looks like so much fun!!
