Apple Butter at Goat Lady Dairy
My son Tristan and I were invited over to Goat Lady Dairy by our neighbors Steve and Lee Tate on Sunday for their annual CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) picnic. Steve and Lee set up and made a pot of apple butter, an old family tradition of theirs, assisted by the members of the CSA. We took our cider mill with us and made a few gallons of apple cider for the picnic. It was an enjoyable afternoon; food, music, great company and a little work.

Sawing Poplar
Neighbor Gary McMasters and his crew saw lumber on his vintage circular sawmill earlier this week. Gary custom saws for folks in and around Grays Chapel, North Carolina. Monday, they were sawing poplar for a local farmer for use as a floor in his barn loft. Scenes like this take me back to my childhood, when my Grandfather and my uncle ran a sawmill business with a mill very much like the one Gary uses.

The world is is a constant state of change, but some things remain the same on our farm in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. My Grandfather’s plow still sits under a tree near his barn where he last unhooked it from his Super M Farmall sometime before 1960.
