Wow.


Where Did All These People Come From? *

I'm thrilled, flattered, and still in a bit of a daze. Farmgirl Fare was chosen by the Blogger.com Team to be the June 15, 2006 Blog Of Note. So we've had a few more visitors than usual lately. Like about 12,000 more. Welcome new readers (please click here for a brief intro to this site) and many, many thanks to the Blogger Team for bestowing this honor on Farmgirl Fare. Like I said, Wow.

  7. what a beautiful picture. The kitty seems to be "ruling the roost" as it were. Your linked on my blog as well. As your blog reminds me so much of where I grew up (central rural Illinois)-I tend to visit often for a taste of my roots.

    Feel free to visit my blog anytime!

  8. Awesome site, Farmgirl! I discovered you through Blogs of Note and would like to add you to my Links list, if it's OK with you.

    I grew up with my grandparents in west central Georgia, and my granddad raised hogs and cattle; Grandma usually had chickens running around the back yard. I've long been away from the rural life, though, even though my sister and I still own land across the road from the old farmhouse. One day I hope to move back there, build a small house, and start an organic peach orchard. I currently live and teach in a small town and have acquired my first chicken, a Rhode Island Red who averages an egg a day.

    Your site's awesome, and your story's really interesting. It tells me that people like us (I'm a college English prof) really can make a living and a life in the country, and leaving the city/academic/artsy life can be a beautiful thing. Keep up the great work.

  15. I have subscribed to your blog so I won't miss anything, and I am looking forward to going back and reading your story from the beginning. And hopefully I will learn something in the process. I only have 6 acres but I would really like to try growing something. Unfortunately, the green thumb in my family skips a generation and I'm the generation it skipped! I also have to figure out how to quit my day job. Great blog-- keep the adorable pictures of Cary coming!

  20. Funny we both left CA for God's country. MO is the nicest place I have ever lived. My wife and I live near Branson in Reeds Spring with two cat inside and one WILD cat outside.
    Yes food becomes a love down in these parts if you have lived anywhere else. Why do you think the food down here, overall, is so bad?

  21. Your blog is unlike any other I read and is well written...the well written part is hard to come by these days ! :)

    I have a kitten that looks a lot like yours. I think I've seen a glimpse of what Abby will look like when she grows up :)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
