The Common-Tater
Marion Thompson was a prolific writer. I want to share her wise and humorous words about being a mother that she penned in 1987:
No one is quite like a Mother Neither Father, nor Sister, not Brother She’s been there, forever, For support, or whatever When she’s gone, from our midst There will never be another. Through childhood You often were chided, Through problems, You, also were guided. Sometimes, it was rough And she’d had quite enough But, above all, In her family, she prided. Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mothers!
Yes you can eat your dishes! In my newest recipe, each individual serving bowl is made of herbed mashed potatoes. The potato bowls are easy and fun to prepare. Each potato bowl is filled with a mildly spicy beef & tomato mixture, topped with a homemade sweet sauce and garnished with mozzarella cheese. Add a side of veggies and wow your family and friends with delicious food!

And they’re off! This short video shows our seed potatoes tumbling along the cutting line into the bulk truck. They’ll be transported to the field where John is planting our crop. The truck doesn’t leave the farm until it’s full, so clearly there is a lot of cutting to do yet! You can visit “Little Seed Potatoes” to learn more about seed potatoes.
A farmer’s most important business partner is the Earth (unknown) As green spaces slowly disappear around the world, we are proud to maintain this one small patch of earth that we call our own. Every year we learn more about how to care for our land and how to protect the ecosystems and micro ecosystems that abound at our farm. We want to leave this piece of land in even better shape than we got it in. And this means that every day is Earth Day for us and for all farmers globally. You can visit “Tractors For Every Season (Turn! Turn! Turn!)” to see a slideshow of our tractors in work during all four seasons.
