Looks Like We’re Growing Again

April 26, 2020April 24, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

Back in midwinter I did my usual inventory of leftover seeds, garden planning and ordering of new seeds. I had a bunch of seeds that were 3-4 years old so I wanted to check their viability. To do this, I moistened some paper towels and laid out about 5-10 of each pack, folded the towels … Continue reading Looks Like We’re Growing Again

Nesting Duck Mamma Inspires a Walk Down Memory Lane

April 24, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 3 Comments

When I was out looking for duck eggs around the pond a few days ago, I spied this lady tucked under a honeysuckle bush. She’s pulled hay off the nearby compost pile, made a nest there and appears to be sitting on it. How exciting would it be if she hatches some babies??! We’ve only … Continue reading Nesting Duck Mamma Inspires a Walk Down Memory Lane

A New Generation of Chicks Arrive at the Farm

April 23, 2020April 23, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 4 Comments

Last summer we parted ways with the majority of our flock, keeping just enough birds for our family and a few occasional customers here at the farm. That has been the perfect decision for our family. We are back to enjoying interacting with our birds as more of a hobby without the stress of washing … Continue reading A New Generation of Chicks Arrive at the Farm

Tepache: a Fermented Pineapple Drink

April 22, 2020April 23, 2020 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here to share with you. Boy hasn’t life gone a little crazy in the last couple months?! My neighbor Lisa sent me a video a couple days ago that got me inspired to try a new fermenting project. I wanted to share it with you because it … Continue reading Tepache: a Fermented Pineapple Drink

My Best Craigslist Find Ever

November 23, 2019November 23, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

I have been looking longingly at weaving looms for a while online but they are so darn expensive. A nice small table loom is easily $1000. Then by chance I found a listing on Craig’s list for a Weaver’s Delight floor loom for $100. I texted the owner and she said she still had it. … Continue reading My Best Craigslist Find Ever

I will have flower jellies, pear butters and a few other canned items and natural beauty products. This year I also made some journals to bring. They are 100% made by hand, from gluing … Continue reading Ohio River Artisans Fair today and tomorrow

Beer Bottling and Instapot Beef Stew

October 17, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I checked the potential alcohol on our beer today and found it to be at 1%. To find the alcohol by volume you subtract your final reading from your initial so ours is at 5% ABV. Witbier should fall between 4.5 and 5.5% so it's ready to bottle! First I needed to skim off some … Continue reading Beer Bottling and Instapot Beef Stew

Instapot Pumpkin Bundt Cake

October 15, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

Walking through Kroger today, I spied a whole wall of Instapot accessories. I've never seen cake pans for the Instapot before. I quickly looked up some recipes and decided I had to have the tiny bundt pan. The first recipe I decided to try was this Pumpkin Bundt Cake. I adapted the recipe some with … Continue reading Instapot Pumpkin Bundt Cake

A Birthday Brew

October 13, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

Oliver is always curious about what I'm brewing up in the kitchen. This has been a big wine making year for me. I've made nearly a dozen different types. He was dying to try out the process for himself, which then led to a lot of questions about how beer is made and if the … Continue reading A Birthday Brew

Sourdough Pancakes

October 6, 2019 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

I awoke this morning to a happy sourdough starter overflowing its jar. Look how bubbly and active it is! It inspired me to look for a breakfast recipe to use it in. Many of the breakfast recipes I found required prep the night before but then I found Quick Sourdough Pancakes on food.com. They were … Continue reading Sourdough Pancakes
