She's Definitely More of a Sheep Dog (or a Sleep Dog) than a Sleet Dog
We won! Marta may not be smiling, but the rest of us are jumping for joy because Farmgirl Fare was voted Best Rural Food Blog in the 2008 Food Blog Awards! Many thanks to the judges, the Well Fed Network, and to all of you who voted for us. And a big congratulations to the other four finalists in the rural category: Chez Lou Lou, Whiteley Creek, (not so) Urban Hennery, and Lucullian Delights.
You'll find links to all the 2008 Food Blog Award winners here, and if you haven't already, be sure to check out the finalists in each category, too. Some of my favorite blogs were finalists but didn't win, including Karina's Kitchen, Organic to Be, Food Blogga, Simply Recipes, The Perfect Pantry, and Andrea's Recipes, which is home to Grow Your Own, the twice-a-month food blogging event that celebrates the dishes we create from foods we’ve grown, raised, foraged, or hunted ourselves.'
Thanks again for taking the time to vote—we couldn't have done it without you.

The judges have made their decisions, and we're thrilled that Farmgirl Fare has been chosen as a finalist for Best Food Blog—Rural in the 2008 Food Blog Awards. Many thanks to those of you who nominated us.

And we love every minute. Okay, maybe not all the putting up hay minutes, but definitely the rest of them.
Or is that an upside down happy dance?

We won! Farmgirl Fare has been named Best Rural Food Blog in the Well Fed Network's 2007 Food Blog Awards. Many thanks to all of you who voted for us, and to the judges for their hard work. A big congratulations to the 13 other winners, and to the other finalists in the rural category - Nami-Nami (Estonia), Garlic Breath (France), and Lucullian Delights (Italy) are three of my favorite food blogs.
And now I have to go break it to the sheep that there isn't any actual food associated with winning a Food Blog Award. (It's hard to think about anything else when you're walking around with four stomachs.)

Has it been a year already? I was thrilled when Farmgirl Fare was voted Best Food Blog-Rural in 2006. Thanks again to all of you who voted for us. And now it's time for another round of awards! Nominations for the 2007 Food Blog Awards, which are hosted by the Well Fed Network, are now being accepted. Here's how it works:
There are 14 award categories this year. Between now and 11:59 pm EST on Wednesday, December 5th, everyone is invited to nominate their favorite food blogs in one or more categories. On Monday December 10th, the Top 5 nominations in each category will be announced. These spots are decided by the judging panel, based upon the nominations received the week before only.
Once the top 5 sites are announced for each category, the voting begins. Voting will be open from Monday, December 10th until 11:59 pm EST on Friday, December 14th. You'll have five full days to vote for your favorite sites, determining the winners. The winners will be announced on Monday, December 17th. The complete rules can be found here.
Thanks to J.P. at The Chef From Hell and Susan at Food Blogga for already nominating Farmgirl Fare in the Best Food Blog-Rural category. And many thanks, too, to all of you who have so kindly chosen Farmgirl Fare to receive the various awards that have been making their way around the blogosphere lately (Nice Matters Award, You Make Me Smile Award, etc). I've been keeping a list (I know it's around here somewhere), and one of these days I'll hopefully have a chance to publicly thank each of you individually.
Now, go forth and nominate your favorite food blogs if they haven't yet been nominated. And if you have your own blog, please help spread the word about the Food Blog Awards!
