8/1/2015 (MBA Jane) For this week’s Garden Gate/Rootin’ Tootin’ Intermediate Level Merit Badge, I was excited to learn more about new my newfound buddies, the unassuming and oh-so-humble root vegetable. Not just learn more, but eat more, too (sorry, friends) … http://bit.ly/1hcbMEv

8/2/2015 This post is extremely hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian. (In other words, it’s all about really, really long words.)
So what’s the longest word in the English language? Let’s explore on Raising Jane: http://bit.ly/1IE6pbt

8/5/2015 Can food get TOO cheap? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
While we might all like a bargain at the checkout, remember that behind all food, there is a farmer, and that farmer needs to make a living.
In Belgium, farmers recently took to the streets to protest low prices for milk, pork, and more … http://bit.ly/1KR4lPv

8/8/2015 (MBA Jane) To help my sweetie-pie neighbor, Piper, earn her Beginner Level Garden Gate/Get Buggy Merit Badge, I devised a sneaky plan.
Well, maybe it wasn’t sneaky, but it sure was clever (if I do say so myself … and I do).
You see, like a lot of little ones—especially the female ones—Piper wasn’t overly fond of insects … http://bit.ly/1gmz8qe

8/9/2015 If I say, “Sarcasm is a reflection of a person’s creativity,” and you reply, “Oh, really? I didn’t know that from years of personal experience,” then you’ll appreciate this entry.
If, however, you’re more inclined to dismiss this statement as flapdoodle (stay tuned tomorrow to see what that’s all about),
then you’ll probably just want to stop reading … here: http://bit.ly/1WaAyF3

While frolicking in this wonderful world of whimsy, I’ve happened upon some gleefully green pastures, and here’s one I wanted to share: http://bit.ly/1hw3Wpk

8/22/2015 This post is for Winnie, who asked recently for an update on the status of our little store that moved home to my farm.
As it turns out, there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work we’re doing before we get to the store. The store will eventually have a new roof that includes two cute little carports on each end (farm truck in one, Shasta trailer parked in the other, fully hooked up to power/water/electric) and a rocking-chair front porch. Inside will be a community bathroom, retro kitchen, and washer/dryer for farmstay guests … http://bit.ly/1NC8Z3Q

8/23/2015 (MBA JaneFor this week’s Farm Kitchen/Know Your Food Intermediate
Level Merit Badge, I cultivated a few of my favorite recipes, revamped them so they’d be completely organic, and then packed all the ingredients up in my charming (if I do say so myself) reusable and homemade shopping bags. Why, you may ask? To take to my friend’s home and to make them dinner with, of course.
We farmgirls are a gregarious and generous bunch: http://bit.ly/1MGVkI3

8/25/2015 In the last two pages of our children’s book, Moo-n Over Main Street Metropolis, we created a project for kids so they can have their very own Jersey cow. All they have to do is make a color copy of the cow, Sally O’Mally, in the book onto cardstock, write their cow’s name on her pinafore, cut her out, take a photo of the two of them together, and mail or e-mail it to us. We’ve posted some of the photos on our HeritageJersey.org website.
Here’s a glimpse of Dolly Anna and Gladys Pippi on their first trip with us … http://bit.ly/1JWT40v
