Dear friends of grassfood. We have decided to sell our beloved farm in Colorado. As I know many of you homestead and love this type of life, I ask that you might think of someone who would love this place as much as we do. This property does not have to be run as a … Continue reading
Last night, Kalon invited us to attend a Feast in the Field, a fundraiser for The Mountain Roots Food Project in Crested Butte. He was cooking the entire meal, including two of our lambs, over open fire. Spectacular does not describe the experience. Kalon is truly a master, and his team, superb. Kalon is the … Continue reading
The man spent a lot of this and last month haying in Paonia, having mowed and baled three places, with one more cutting to go. The last three days were perfect haying weather for here, with the rains to begin next week, so we wanted to get it done. We have never cut our hay … Continue reading

It is still used as a community building for teaching and functions, and of course the oven. Susan was our lovely guide and baking teacher, and served us wonderful fresh mint … Continue reading

but the man wanted me to be. He is a real lumberjack and yes, all you Monte Python fans, that song is stuck in your head now as well. 😉 Our stack of wood from last year is getting frighteningly small. The man usually gets wood after we hay in the summer, and I go … Continue reading
Reality? hmmm. I usually feel like I am in a parallel universe. I am grateful for the life I live, and most grateful for the gift that I can change, even if I never thought change possible. I am most grateful for those whom I share this life with, you. Nahko Bear says it well: … Continue reading
Today I went with the man to Paonia, so he could cut out dead wood from very neglected fruit trees before all of their leaves fall off, which would make it hard to tell what was dead until next spring. No, the trees are not the only things neglected there. Most of the trees seem … Continue reading
Elias called and said that they have moved him out of the high country and he is on a ranch in Cimarron for two weeks before they move him again. Yesterday we went to visit him for lunch, and it was a spectacular day. Before we left, we had our second ewe of the season … Continue reading
