Trimmed some of the overgrowth of sweet potato vines today. Woo! It's incredible how long and wild these vines get! 🌿
Here is a small portion of the harvest from today. Grow homegrown food! Bonus points if it has biceps and quads LoL! 🍠🍠

Yesterday, we joined our homeschool co-op group and went apple picking at a lovely family farm.
Generally a lot of these “family” farms are highly commercialized, charge expensive entree fees, and spray pesticides. This one was a little hidden gem with none of that to be found.
Normally this one is not open to the public to u-pick because their residence is on the property and they are a homeschooling family, but they made an exception for our group since they support homeschooling. All we were charged for was what we picked, which they also gave a discount for in support of families.
It was so refreshing to see a 3rd generation family carry on the legacy of the farm. A lot of these “family farms” you visit have a bunch of migrants and nonwhites working in the background, which I find to be a huge black pill. This one was just the whole family pitching in. Their 16-year old son gave a demonstration on beekeeping and said the bees were his favorite. He had started beekeeping at age 5 and started building the hives when he got closer to 10. The other son preferred tending to the picking and enjoyed cross breeding some variants of apples to create his own.
I happily bought a bushel of apples and can’t wait to can and make all the apple things. Stay tuned for some sourdough apple pie.

Starting to work through all these apples today. Getting some applesauce going to can and will let some go overnight in the crock pot to make apple butter. The other half of bushel I will make some apple pie filling, dehydrate some, and leave some for snacking and use in other recipes. Saving all the apple cores to make apple cider vinegar!
