Little things excite us here at the farm. Can’t wait to peruse my Amazon Prime day cookbook purchase. Anyone for an Asian cooking class???? Thinking September for wonderful Asian soups and dumplings. Let us know what YOU think. Blessings from Mrs. Lynn and Farmer Larry . ❤️

Best zucchini bread recipe EVER! So… we were remiss in checking the garden while we were gone and ended up with huge zucchini. I just cut the seeds out and peeled and shredded it and voila! Truly, this is one of the best recipes I’ve ever tried with zucchini bread …. if you’re interested in the recipe, just comment below. We tried it without nuts, with nuts, and with cranberries and nuts and it’s all super delicious. Blessings from Mrs. Lynn and Farmer Larry . ❤️ ( the bread pan is a silicone Temu purchase. Love it!).

Need your help. Larry and I are headed to the Nashville area for the FIRST time in two weeks. We’re staying at Cages Bend Campsite east of Hendersonville and would love to get your thoughts on what to visit while we’re there. We will head into Nashville for a few days, but always love visiting the surrounding areas as well. your thoughts?

So this is what you look like when you spend three hours in the garden and it’s super hot. And you forgot to harvest your zucchini. Oh well. Zucchini bread here we come.

Today I made this ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS Blueberry Galette. ( a fancy French word that means flat cake). I had no idea it would be this simple and this delicious. Easy to make crust and fresh blueberries mixed with sugar and corn starch. Tonight we’re going to top it off with vanilla ice cream. If you’d like this incredibly easy recipe, just let us know in the comments below. Blessings from the Fern Valley Farm kitchen. ♥️

So …. farmer Larry cooked tonight. I made the pizza dough and he made the pizza. Italian sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, ricotta cheese, extra sharp cheddar in the crust. Best pizza ever. Anyone want our Italian pizza dough recipe?? Takes 5 minutes to make. Blessings from Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ♥️

Our last day in Tampa. Enjoyed a relaxing morning then met friends/family for dinner. Who said it doesn't rain in Florida??? Huge rainstorm as we got to o7r meeting spot. Cheesecake Factory at the International Mall in Tampa. Great food. Fabulous company. Tommow is a travel day. Headed to Savannah for an overnight stop. Blessings fromrs Lynn & Farmer Larry

Having fun in Florida. Got up early to drive 30 minutes into Tampa to visit the Thai Temple. Sunday mornings they have a Thai food market that serves as a charity for the temple. We arrived early and had time to relax and walk around the beautiful temple area right on the Palm River. It was absolutely the calmest place I’ve ever been. We got to watch several monks help set up in their beautiful Saffron robes. Lots and lots of volunteers making fabulous food. Larry and I tried fresh pad Thai noodles, beef noodle soup, shrimp rice paper rolls, egg rolls, delicious Thai tea, and coconut Jell-O, pumpkin custard for dessert eating outside in their beautiful garden. Afterwards we visited the temple.
Stunningly beautiful. What a wonderful experience! Blessings from Mrs. Lynn and Farmer Larry.

Another Fun day in Florida...spent the day in Sarasota with family seeing the sights. Visited Columbia restaurant ( yes, second time, different location!) In St. armonds Circle, a great restaurant and shopping area. Bought a wonderful recipe book, mango Balsamic vinegar for future dinner, and their famous 1905 salad dressing. Can't wait to try it out on our farm friends. Then headed to Salty Dog for seafood dinner. Both great places. Blessings from Lymn & Farmer Larry.

Another exciting day in Tampa. Beach in the morning then an incredible evening with Lee Asher from the Asher house. Purchased tickets to listen to him speak in Clearwater. If you’re not familiar with Lee Asher, check him out at the Asher house. Incredible guy that is on a mission to rescue animals worldwide. www.theasherhouse.com
Super fun night with my date, Larry Met some wonderful people while we were standing in line. Can’t wait to share our picture with him in a few days. So much fun. Blessings from Mrs. Lynn and Farmer Larry. ♥️

Great day in Tampa, Florida. Had a delicious lunch at the Columbia restaurant, a famous tradition in Tampa. Beautiful outdoor and indoor decorations. Blessings from Mrs. Lynn and Farmer Larry. ♥️

Super fun time this weekend with our farm friends at Fern Valley and our adult cooking classes. We made homemade mozzarella cheese, cooked pizza on the Italian pizza oven, made marinara sauce, Italian vinaigrette, and a lemon ricotta cake that was to die for.

Happy Mother’s Day! Best Mother’s Day ever here on the farm. Don’t you just love those “do whatever you want to do” days! Talked with my greatest treasures, my two wonderful sons, played in the garden, and harvested fresh oregano. What could be better than that! Blessings from Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ❤️

Fun times on our trip to Asheville starting with Yoders on the way (love!) then the incredible Farmers Market, golf for Larry, shopping for me, visit to the Wheels through Time museum ( a must-see for motorcycle fans-over 400 rare and incredible motorcycles and more), good food, downtown Waynesville shopping ( can you say Kelwins ice cream and chocolates) and today we’re headed downtown to French Broad Chocolate lounge and Asheville downtown shopping. Celebrating Fun times together! Headed back tomorrow to our sweet farm! Blessings from Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ❤️
