Hi, the health ingredient I will introduce today is water parsley.
Water parsley is a food ingredient characterized by its unique aroma and soft texture.
Water parsley, which is rich in various nutrients, is particularly effective in detoxifying heavy metals and various toxins in the body.
Recently, a movie titled Minari(water parsley in Korean) was released, becoming popular.
From now on, we will learn about water parsley with me.
Water parsley is largely divided into two types: water parsley and stone water parsley.
Water parsley is also known as rice paddy water parsley because it is cultivated in rice paddies, and has long stems, soft leaves, and high marketability.
On the other hand, stone water parsley is wild in wetlands or waterside, has short stems, many leaves, and smells stronger than stone water parsley.
Unlike ordinary water parsley, Hanjae water parsley is characterized by a full stem, soft texture, subtle scent, and purple lower part of the stem.
Effects of Water Parsley
Then let’s find out the effects of water parsley.
Water parsley is an alkaline food rich in vitamins and minerals and is effective in neutralizing the constitution that has turned acidic due to a high-fat diet.
It also contains a lot of potassium, which helps to release harmful ingredients such as heavy metals and sodium in the body.
Isoramnetin and persicarine, the ingredients of water parsley, are also effective in suppressing inflammation and breaking down alcohol to relieve hangovers.
Even in oriental medicine, water parsley is known to clear the head, work well in the intestine, and be effective in jaundice women’s disease.
On the other hand, water parsley stimulates the stomach with a strong scent, so it can be harmful to patients with peptic ulcers, so be careful.
It is recommended to choose a water parsley with clear green leaves and a constant length.
If the stem is thick, the texture can be tough, so you should choose the right thickness.
It is recommended that the base of the stem is light reddish brown and has little fine hair.
Also, it is fresh water parsley that breaks easily when the stem is bent and has moisture in its cross section.
Dry or yellow discolored ends are not good because the distribution process is long.
Water parsley may have leech because it grows in wetlands like snow.
The leech is mainly in an empty space in the stem, and if you soak it in cold water with a leak tank or soak it in a tablespoon of vinegar, the leech escapes.
After that, cut the end of the stem by about 1cm and wash it gently under running water.
Water parsley often removes leaves and eats only stems, but in fact, it is better to eat them together because leaves contain about six times more antioxidants than stems.
When storing water parsley, you should first remove the washed leaves, wrap the bottom with a wet towel, and seal it in a plastic pack and refrigerate it.
If you put it up and store it at this time, you can maintain freshness longer.
For long-term storage, blanch water parsley in boiling water, cool it in cold water, squeeze out water, subdivide it into a plastic pack, and store it frozen.
Frozen water parsley is good for eating later with soup or stew.
So far, we’ve learned about water parsley, a healthy ingredient.

Yesterday, I harvested some Romaine lettuce that I planted back in late spring. I am very much a newbie to gardening but after much debate I decided to give it a go this year. Honestly I didn’t have to do as much work as I expected.
My garden bed is an old bookshelf filled with part-composted dirt and store-bought garden soil. I planted the “already started plants” from Home Depot….and watered when it wasn’t raining. No more than two small weeds grew, so for a first garden, it was pretty stress-free.
We ate the lettuce in a salad last night for dinner. It was pretty cool to go pick the lettuce and be eating it from my plate less than an hour later. Overall it tasted great …. One bunch was picked later than it should have been, so it was on the bitter side, but still tasty.. Already planning for Fall planting now 😀

Northern Crop Driers Graze On Pellets/Grass Nuts - Horse Feed (Size: 20 kg)
Northern Crop Driers have been producing GRAZE-ON Grass Pellets for use in horse rations and general animal feeds for over 30 years.
Our 6mm diameter grass pellet is made from 100% natural, home grown grass that is flash dried then pelleted to lock in the important nutrients and preserve the fresh green colour and aroma.
A unique blend of grasses is used by Northern Crop Driers to produce their grass nuts. This blend is made up of the following grass types:
In order to prevent too rapid a consumption, we recommend that grass pellets should be fed with at least an equal volume of a bulky feed. Alternatively, they should be soaked well before feeding.
Light work: 10%-15% of bulk feed may be replaced with grass pellets, ie. 1 to 1.5kg
(This is only a guide to feeding and will vary with the size, type and habits of the horse or pony.)


Anyone who acquires a garden, should be aware of one fact: If one’s own plot of land is to look beautiful and reap rich harvests, the owner or tenant must be prepared for a lot of work. Indispensable for this is a repertoire of gardening tools with which the soil, plants and trees can be nurtured and cared for. But what does the new gardener absolutely need to be able to do everything in his garden? We reveal it to you in this article!
Before buying equipment: check the condition and stock of the garden.
The decision to take action and turn the garden into a vegetable plantation, an oasis of well-being, or a little of both, is the first step. The realization that this requires certain equipment and knowledge is the insight that should immediately follow. But in order to get the right equipment and not to be annoyed afterwards about having to exchange everything again or having purchased it for nothing, it is above all important to take a close look at the garden and its characteristics. Only in this way can deductions be made about suitable equipment.
The garden soil: Check the condition and derive measures
A good and nutrient-rich soil is elementary for the growth of plants – that much is clear. Here, too, there are, of course, more and less frugal plant varieties. But the condition of the soil also plays a not insignificant role in the choice of tools and garden equipment. After all, the material from which spades, rakes and co. should be made, depends largely on the nature of the soil that is to be worked with them.
Basic gardening equipment: useful helpers for the garden
The following tools and accessories are indispensable for gardening, or at least perform well. Depending on how you answered the questions above and what your other gardening plans are, you may want to take a closer look at some of the following gardening tools.
Also called a wheelbarrow or wheelbarrow, depending on its origin and region. Essential for gardening as it helps you carry larger and bulky loads – whether it’s bags of leaves, firewood, soil, other gardening paraphernalia or even your children can use it to transport them over longer distances with ease.
Also known as a fork in northern Germany, but also known as a rake in central and southern Germany. Indispensable for raking leaves, branches and plant parts. Sometimes also does a good job of removing smaller roots and weeds.
Also called a shovel, not to be confused with a spade. Used primarily for moving larger amounts of soil when digging planting holes, ponds, pits, etc.
In turn, is often equated with a shovel, but is something else. Due to its smaller surface and relatively sharp edge, the spade is a “digging tool for the rough”, with which even unruly soils can be made docile, smaller roots can be cut and furrows can be made.
Sounds strange, but it is not: A hoe or a chopper is used to loosen the soil and is therefore indispensable for the creation of new beds. Because only crust-free soil absorbs seeds optimally and ensures optimal water-air exchange in the bed.
The leaf broom is often mistaken for a rake, but its name says it all. Unlike the rake, it specializes in leaves and is able to sweep up leaves much more efficiently and gently, especially from lawns, due to its closely spaced “bristles”.
The classic broom should not be missing in the garden as well as at home. Whether the porch in front of your gazebo, in the gazebo itself or the stone paths in your garden – a broom will always serve you well.
You can see and hear the leaf blower more and more in gardens and green spaces in recent years. You can get rid of annoying leaves in no time and your garden will be in top shape again. The black and decker leaf blower offers a particularly strong performance here and supports you in the fight against unwanted leaves.
If you the foliage can be used also prima as fertilizer, in addition collect you blow it simply to the desired place, for example under bushes.
Allowing trees, hedges and shrubs to grow wild and unchecked in the garden is a nice thought, but usually not feasible due to legal regulations, safety precautions and other plants. Loppers come in a variety of styles and sizes. Their special sharpness and good leverage allow for clean trimming of branches.
Cherries and plums or damsons refuse the fruit picker because of their rather small size. Therefore, if you need to manually bring in the harvest, a ladder is definitely worth it. This is also good for reaching places of a particularly high hedge, for example, or making repairs on the roof of the arbor.
Pruning shears/rose shears
What pruning shears can do on a large scale, rose shears or secateurs can do on a small scale. This garden utensil is indispensable for cutting back smaller plants, for further shredding of green cuttings and for manual re-trimming of bushes and hedges.
Almost everyone is happy to have a more or less large lawn in his garden. After all, when the weather is nice, you also want to have a place in your green refuge to relax, barbecue and picnic (more on this below). Since the lawn also needs to be trimmed every now and then, a lawn mower is a must. Since the gasoline-powered devices are now banned, it should be an electric lawn mower.
Care of garden tools: preventing wear and tear
Basically, what has already been said in the last section applies: Since these are utensils that are used to perform rough work, wear and tear is inevitable in the long run. Sooner or later, you won’t be able to avoid sharpening the blades of your lawn mower (or replacing them after too much wear), buying a new handle for your rake and cultivator, or replacing rusted metal parts. However, with proper care, you can delay or avoid this in the long run.
- Clean your equipment regularly. Remove soil and leaf debris from metal parts from gaps and crevices.
- Protect equipment that is susceptible to rust. This includes transferring them back to the shelter after use (don’t leave them lying around outside), but treatment with rust remover, etc. may also be necessary.
- Oil equipment parts (for example, lawn mowers or wheelbarrows regularly), check the strength and wear of bolts, nuts and tires.

Types of Sukkary of Al-Qassim
We offer four types of Sukkary to satisfy all customers’ needs.
First: Royal Sukkary of Al-Qassim. It is large dates selected from crop during harvest. It is the best quality type for wholesale that is known among traders in the area. The royal type is the bestseller product.
Second: Kinky Sukkary of Al-Qassim. It is three grades of dates in accordance with size. It is selected from crop during harvest. It is the best quality type for wholesale that is known among traders in the area. It is the bestseller product.
We shall mention that traders use the term “excellent Sukkary carton”. It is a carton of sukkary dates of Al-Qassim that husk is very little and approximate size. It attributes to hand harvest. It depends on estimation of collector as husk and size may vary from farmer to another in accordance with collector.
We took some practical steps in this field. We depended on continuous supervision to ensure that sukkary carton is collected with high levels in accordance with specifications. It makes us on the top of producers of sukkary in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The commercial value of Sukkary
The kinky Sukkary is one of the best dates in the world, not only for its international features, but also that it combine beautiful color with about 0% husk and large size, in addition to its special taste. Therefore, it scores 100% of world standards of quality of dates.
These facts are clear to most of factories and traders in the gulf in particular and the world in general. Therefore, no dates shop does not include sukkary dates of Al-Qassim. Some factories markets for Saudi dates around the world search for best quality types of Sukkary. Kinky Sukkary, Khodary, excellent Mabroom and Ajwa is the way to go through world markets in field of hard dates (fola) with world standards.


watch our garden grow. Well hopefully. This is what we started a month or two ago and this is the "fruits of our labor". This is our first year to start one. We decided to go small just it case it doesn't grow.
So far it is doing pretty good and we will be excited if it actually produces some vegetables. If we can only keep the pesky dog out of it. We have put up a "fence" to block off the area and she keeps digging under it or jumps on it to go over. I finally caught her and "scolded" her. Like that is going to help. Any suggestions on how to keep a stubborn dog out of your garden?

Hey all my fans out there! man- its been a couple months since i posted anything! i guess the feeling struck me today, when i started reading about tomatoes.
Those who know me know that i am food obsessed and every summer I get giddy at the smell of tomato flowers/vines. For those of you who know that smell- know that there is nothing else like it in the world.
As a kid, my mom planted a ton of tomatoes, squash, zucchini, peppers and various beans every year. In addition to our seasonal garden, we had peach trees (3) for making homemade peach ice cream and collecting bee stings, an apple tree, an enormous blackberry bush where our foster box turtles always escaped to, a giant mulberry bush that continuously dotted the yard, the roof and my face with purple spots, wild strawberries and some “volunteers” as my mom called them—or things that started growing from the compost- melons and the like. Mom was dedicated to this urban hippy garden, and I recall once when the neighborhood kids started stealing our crop- mostly our favorite, ripe blackberries- which she usually saved to make jam. Mom was livid when she noticed that things started going missing. I remember that she and I walked down to the creek, gloves in hand, and retrieved poison ivy, which she planted on the outside of the fence to ward off unwanted guests.
Yes, reader- I know this sounds like I grew up deep in the country, far down a dirt road, and you’re probably imagining me as a little girl wearing denim overalls and my fuzzy tangled hair up in pig tales and covered in dirt like a little rascal. But I’m talking about Southside Richmond- near George Wythe high school. In a not so nice area back then, where gun shots were common, and poverty even more so. We were poor, and we knew it, but until I was in college- I thought everyone grew up this way, and ate vegetables all the time. As an adult, I started meeting friends who had never tasted asparagus, snapped fresh green beans, or knew the pleasures of a really truly fresh tomato- not the water logged, pre refrigerated forced ripened tomatoes anyone can get from any store.
Because we grew a lot of our own food, I ate so much squash and zucchini, I can’t stand to look at the stuff, and the taste still sort of revolts me. But Unlike Zucchini/ Squash, i did not have a tomato overdose as a child- even though they were probably as abundant, if not more so at least in variety.
There is just something so right about a perfectly perky red cherry tomato plucked right off the vine and popped into your mouth, exploding with flavor and texture... a beefy Hanover tomato dusted with a little salt and pepper on a BLT or just T sandwich, a zesty roma sliced thick and placed on top of cream cheese and bread, or my all time favorite- ultimate grilled cheese (recipe below).
While I only wrote one of these recipes the rest made me think of my childhood, and everything that I’ve become and love because of the food we grew, and the dishes I learned to make as a result. Never underestimate the power of a ripe tomato.
Maya’s Ultimate Grilled Cheese (makes one)The special ingredient in this is the honey- sounds odd, but it works. Balanced and sweet- it really pulls together that licorice-y flavor of the basil, cuts some of the sharpness of the cheddar and pulls in the sour flavors from the bread. 2 slices sour dough bread2 slices fontina cheese2 slices cheddar cheese2 basil leaves2 slices Hanover tomato- dusted lightly w salt and pepperDijon mustardhoney2 tablespoons butter

Melt butter in pan, and grill on both sides on medium until cheese is melted. Cut in quarters and serve with carrot sticks.

Asparagus has been gaining popularity once again as people are discovering the fascinating process of how these little green stalks actually grow. There are actually 300 varieties in the asparagus family, but the most well-known and widely consumed is garden asparagus. Besides making a delicious addition to meals, asparagus is a nutritional powerhouse — rich in vitamins like K, essential for blood clotting, as well as vitamin C and folate.
The Mysterious Growth of Asparagus
Asparagus is an herbaceous perennial vegetable that can be cultivated as a long-term crop, with a lifespan of up to 20 years. There are two primary methods of growing asparagus: from dormant plants called crowns or from seeds. For optimal results, it’s advisable to refrain from harvesting asparagus during the first couple of years, allowing the plant to establish its root system.
Once established, you can enjoy homegrown asparagus each spring for many years. The harvesting process is simple — cut individual spears when they’ve reached about 6 to 10 inches tall.
From Seed to Spear
Asparagus plants can be either male or female, with male plants generally producing more spears of better quality. After the harvest, the plants develop fern-like leaves and go through a dormant phase during winter, only to emerge during springtime, ready to be harvested again.
Female asparagus plants have an added visual appeal, as they can produce red berries in the fall. As of 2021, China is the world’s largest producer of asparagus. Peru, Mexico, and Germany rank second, third and fourth, respectively.
Closer Look at Its Growth Process
While some species of asparagus are poisonous if consumed, they’re still used for decoration and floristry due to their appealing green foliage. In some parts of the world, white asparagus is grown by keeping the spears away from sunlight, resulting in their characteristic color.
These spears are either grown entirely in the shade or remain underground, preventing the development of chlorophyll and the green color associated with traditional asparagus.
Fans of The Hunger Games trilogy have waited for a very long time and it seems that the time to decide which district they belong to is back again. The teaser trailer for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes may finally be out, but the questions remain! Let’s dive deep into the games again to see what we can expect from this one.
The Story of the Prequel
The prequel provides the fans with the backstory of Coriolanus Snow, the power-hungry president of the original trilogy. Suzanne Collins’ novel showcases Snow during the 10th annual Hunger Games wherein the young Snow will mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a girl from District 12. Lucy Gray sings, attracting the attention of everyone, and it makes Snow think that he might be able to guide and train her to make things work in their favor. They both love showmanship, which they combine with the newly found political astuteness and run the race against time to survive.
The ominous 2-minute teaser doesn’t show any film footage. Instead, it offers a golden snake creeping toward a gold songbird as they come to life from their frozen state with the Snow falling off their bodies. Though the teaser doesn’t give much information, the graphic imagery of the snake and the songbird is sure to stick in your mind.
The film will be directed by Francis Lawrence, who has previously directed three Hunger Games movies. Tony Blyth of Billy the Kid fame is all set to play young Snow while Rachel Zegler, who won hearts as Maria in the new West Side Story will play Lucy. The expectations are high after the first teaser and the wait till November 17, 2023, is about to become more exciting. As for watching Coriolanus Snow turn into his later self on the big screen, we definitely volunteer!


Our Senior year at Sewanee has arrived. Last week we had Quiet Day and Matriculation followed by the Dean's dinner. Saturday was the Picnic at Lake Cheston.
The kids had a blast in the water as usual and I'm not sure they ate anything except cookies and brownies while we were there.
One of the new seminarians brought her kayaks and all the kids had fun taking turns on those.
Yesterday was a taste of Fall with temps in the high 70s and lots of breeze. We went to church at All Saint's and then had a playdate and then went blueberry picking at a friend's house. They also own a horse farm with 23 horses, and have a large and random selection of other animals: a llama, parrots, a miniature goat, a pig, 5 dogs, etc. The kids were in heaven and I kinda was too. Watching them (especially *A*) run around this farm so naturally and totally happy was awesome. After visiting and petting all the animals many times, the kids rode the "gator" over to the garden area where we picked a bucketful of blueberries. Apparently this is very late in the season and they were just over-run with berries this year. The berries were growing in huge clumps on the branches like grapes, all we had to do was put our bucket underneath and kind of pull the berries down and off the branch. ^J^ said he felt like he was milking a cow. There was also a pear tree and the kids decided they needed to eat it right then and there warm from the tree. There was an apple tree as well so we got a bucket full of those too. Oh and they had a few watermelons leftover too so we each took 2. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I only have a picture of our loot after we returned home. Time to start freezing, canning, and baking!


Hydroponics, Part II...
If you remember way back when, I had started a hydroponics experiment for my Plant Physiology and Anatomy course. I grew a bean plant in a hydroponic environment with all the nutrients except nitrogen, to see how that would affect the plant and its growth.
Today was the last day of the experiment, and I'm happy to report that my plant looks pathetic. I'm happy, because that's what's supposed to happen, as nitrogen is essential for plant growth (it's in DNA, protein, lipids, etc.).
The best part though was that the lab was supposed to be a formal write up (i.e. lots of researching through journals to find an obscure piece of data), but instead the prof decided to give us a 2% bonus quiz testing on our ability to tell one type of deficiency from another (nitrogen, sulphur, potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium). Then we talked about the plants. No formal write up!!


The pecan tree's scientific name is Carya illioensis. It is a native to North America. The pecan tree is a member of the walnut family and in the hickory group.
An important crop tree, it is grown for its fruit, the pecan nut, in orchards in the South and Southeast United States . Pecan trees are also useful as shade or ornamental trees. They grow well all over the South.
The pecan is the state tree of Texas. It was adopted by Texas in 1919.
The flowering trees are angiosperms. Those with naked seeds are gymnosperms. Angiosperms make up the largest class in the plant kingdom. They are successful because of their type of seed. A tough seed coat protects the seed and the stored food feeds the embryo until it is ready to grow on its own.
There are two branches of angiosperms: one with two seed leaves and one with one seed leaf. The pecan tree has two seed leaves. Most two seed leaf trees are called broadleaf trees and they lose their leaves each year.
The gymnosperm are divided into four groups. The biggest group is the conifers or cone-bearing trees. Most of these plants are evergreens. They keep their leaves during the winter.
The varieties recommnercial use are: Cheyenne, Sioux, Cape Fear, Caddo, Wichita, Choctaw, Pawnee, Maramac, Melroses, Desirable, Eliot and Western. Farmers choose varieties depending on their location and desired crop size. Varieties to avoid are Stuart, Mahan, Burkett and especially success. Success has a serious disease which is untreatable.
The nuts ripen from mid-September until December. They are harvested after they fall to the ground. Pecans vary in size, from 30 to 90 nuts per pound. No nuts are produced until trees are five or six years old. Pecans can last up to six months in their shells if refrigerated.
Pecan trees are used in landscaping because they are attractive and they provide shade. Their wood is brittle and has fewer uses than similar species. However pecan wood is valuable for flooring, furniture and paneling.

Duncan Family nominated for YF&R Achievement Award
By Lacey Dodson, Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation
Robert and Rachel Duncan, along with their 9-month old daughter Wrigley, embody the spirit of a young farm family.
They farm soybeans, grow and sell their own hay and have around 200 head of cattle. Something that sets this family apart is the custom beef they recently started raising and selling.
The young couple from Boyce, La. has been named one of three finalists that have been nominated for the Young Farmer and Rancher Achievement Award for their in dedication in the agriculture industry.
“We really enjoy the aspect of being able to sell to the neighbors and getting local meat to local people,” Duncan said.
With the demand for this product steadily rising, it caused the Duncans to increase the number of custom cattle they were producing.
“I think there’s definitely growth,” he said. “You know, the first year we did it, we fed three, the second year we we did it we fed 13. So there’s definitely a demand, you know people want it.”
Not only does Rachel Duncan stay busy on the farm, but she also has her own photography business that keeps her busy, not to mention taking care of their daughter. Although she doesn’t work full time on the farm because of her photography business, she is always there to lend a helping hand when she’s needed.
“He thinks that being home with the baby and running a photography business isn’t as enduring as his job on the farm, and he definitely likes to joke about it,” Rachel Duncan said with a laugh. He appreciates everything I do though, and he always knows I’m a phone call away if he ever needs some help.”
Robert Duncan knows just how helpful it is to have his wife there for him during the long days farming. Without having Rachel there, the farm would not function as smoothly.
“Last week before it started raining we were working 16, 17, 18 hour days trying to get the ground ready,” he said. “She’d bring us lunch, she brought supper, snacks and everything else, I gave her grief about it but I literally could not do it without her.”
Although farming sometimes has stressful days the Duncans are hopeful that raising their daughter on the farm will have a lasting impact on their family.
“Especially now to be raising a daughter in it, it’s to be able to see her go out with us,” Duncan said. “I hope her first word other than mama and daddy is “cow.” That’d be great. It’s nice to just be able to be with family.”
The 2019 winner of the Young Farmer and Rancher will be announced at the 97th Annual Louisiana Farm Bureau convention, held June 20 through the 23 at the New Orleans Marriott on Canal St. For more information, visit https://lfbfconvention.org/


Meticulously produced wines from Emilio Valerio’s self-sufficient, biodynamic farm.
On the edge of the town of Dicastillo, on the south-facing slopes of the Montejurra mountain, lies the farm of Emilio Valerio.
Emilio’s homestead has always been more than a winery, although vines are at the heart of what they do. There are bee hives to help with pollination, livestock to provide manure, fields of lavender, chestnuts trees, almonds, olives and crops of grain. A microbrewery is up and running and there’s a bakery in the works as well. It’s an attempt at a completely self-sufficient, biodynamic farm.
Emilio Valerio wines are made in the meticulous manner one would expect from such an intensive project. They’re produced in what Emilio refers to as “warm, natural” materials: clay, stone and wood. No plastic or steel containers are used for ageing or fermentation. At every stage, the winemaking and viticulture here seeks to replicate the patterns of pre-Civil War days when the town’s agricultural industry was a vibrant hub for artisanal produce.
Navarra is the dry, continental part of the Basque Country that runs along the north-east edge of Rioja and just short of Pampalona to the north. The region includes a wide range of soil types, from river pebbles to alluvial to granite.
At its best, Navarra makes powerful wines with indigenous varietals like Garnacha, Graciano and Tempranillo, but there’s also a huge amount of wine grown here from international varietals like Cabernet and Shiraz, of variable quality.
The flats along Navarra’s southern edges also provide some of Spain’s best vegetable farming land. Piquillos, white asparagus and artichokes from Navarra are among the most prized agricultural products in the country.

Peru, along with being the home to Paddington Bear is the ninth largest coffee producer in the world. Most of Peru’s coffee farms are less than 2-3 hectares in size and spread across three main growing areas – North (Amazonas, Cajamarca, San Martin), Central (Junin) and South (Cusco, Ayacucho and Puno).
These regions all lie on the eastern slopes of the Andes, where they benefit most from elevation and favourable climatic conditions at altitudes between 900-1800 masl.
Whilst conditions are optimal for the production of good quality coffee, there are significant challenges in relation to farm’s geographic isolation.
It's a bit hilly over there!
Smallholders use hand pulpers at micro-milling stations before transporting their coffee, often on foot over difficult terrain, for anywhere between thirty minutes and eight hours to reach their nearest town plaza, where the coffee is then transported onwards.
For this reason, we don't see as many quality Peruvian coffees as we should and, when a special micro-lot becomes available, we grab it.

We’ve tracked down a more efficient caulking compound — one that does not contain toxic VOCs (volatile organic compounds) such as toluene and hexane.

Hemp sheets — they’re soft, durable, chemical-free and sustainable. But why choose hemp over organic cotton? Hemp is twice as strong and requires less processing.

All hail the Incas, for they gave the world spuds
Potatoes were first domesticated and cultivated 7,000 years ago in what is now South America. Credit the ancient Incas for figuring out that the underground part of the potato plant is edible and even highly nutritious, while the leafy green part is actually poisonous.
The potato plant, after all, is part of the nightshade family, and that includes such killers as belladonna, the species that supposedly felled the Roman legion led by Marcus Arelius in the Parthian war.
Spaniards entering what is now Colombia in the late 1530s first came across potatoes, and they made their way back to Europe by 1570. Now, of course, they are a worldwide staple, as recognized as rice and wheat.
That's a good thing, because it is going to be part of this week's competency exam.
Other potato dishes that Chef Dan demonstrated today: potato salad; pommes Anna (thin slices sautéed in an attractive pattern, then baked); pomme gratin (baked with cheese); pomme roesti (grated and formed into a six-inch cylinder, sautéfollowed by oven baking until golden brown); potato pancakes or latkes.


In medieval Belgium, ogres were excellent farmers, and were the first to discover a wild, cabbage-like plant sprouting up on their property. One particular ogre farmed the sprouts and sold them at the human market in Brussels, where they were very popular.
That is, until his young son, Sog, cooked up a sly plot. Sog didn’t want to share his beloved sprouts with the undeserving humans. His plot succeeded, but it had unexpected consequences.
So if you don’t like Brussels sprouts, here’s a fun, fractured fairy tale explaining why–it’s all Sog’s fault.

As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, we planted our seeds inside in various pieces of trash. Chinese food containers, egg cartons a plastic lid, they all worked great.
Once our sugar snap peas sprouted, there was no stopping them. They seemed to grow several inches a day and eventually we had to string them up. My husband created a sort of lattice out of twine and few spare boards.
The peas were happy once more.
But as the cold temperatures continued and weathermen/women continued predicting night frost, we hesitated to put them outside, even when it became obvious they were past the “seedling” stage.
Unfortunately, we’ve lost those beans. They outgrew their planter within days and dried up without deep enough soil and space to reach upwards.
According to the University of Maine Cooperative Extension publication about starting seeds at home, you can harvest flowers and veggies four to six earlier if you start seeds inside.
But there’s a caveat.
Like my beans, plants need space to grow. Many mature quickly, including beans, carrots, corn, peas, spinach, turnips and zucchini making them easy to direct seed despite Maine’s short growing season.
Lesson learned. Getting ahead isn’t always the right thing to do.
Have you ever started seeds too soon? What did you do? Is there anyway to save my poor snap peas?

， Types of PTO Shafts / 2010-11-10
PTO shafts are used in a wide variety of farming applications.Power takeoff, or PTO, shafts are extremely important parts of any tractor system. They are the element that transfers power from the tractor to whatever implement may be connected to the tractor. The devices that may be powered by a PTO shaft include rotary mowers, feed grinders, balers and grain bin augers. PTO shafts were one of the major factors in revolutionizing agriculture in North America in the 1930s and they are still widely used. PTO shafts come in several major types.

J.R. Simplot Company Announces Sustainability Targets
Goals will showcase efforts to reduce energy, water, waste and carbon
Boise, Idaho (October 29, 2020) - Today, the J.R. Simplot Company announced a collection of global sustainability targets in four areas aimed at major reductions over a 10-year period. The Company’s global 4Sight 2030 goals are the latest effort in the global food and agriculture company’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship while planting seeds for the future.
Simplot’s 4Sight 2030 goals will:
- Reduce energy use 15% per ton of product
- Reduce freshwater intake 15% per ton of product
- Achieve zero waste to landfill in our food processing plants, globally
- Reduce carbon emissions 20% per ton of product through operational reductions and soil carbon sequestration, and invest in climate-smart innovations that will help farmers and ranchers adapt to climate change
“Sustainability is woven into the J.R. Simplot Company’s Purpose and Core Values and we view it as a vital responsibility across our Business Groups and international operations,” said Simplot President and CEO Garrett Lofto. “We believe that as a Company, and in our communities, our future relies on finding new, sustainable ways to produce more with less and doing it in ways that will meet the environmental and social needs of today and for generations to come.”
While Simplot employees have always focused on sustainability at their sites and in communities, this is the first time the Company has cultivated common sustainability goals across its global organization. The combined efforts will align those goals and the collective effort across the Company can have a tremendously positive impact.
“For Simplot, embracing our shared sustainability platform is to live our values with integrity; to put the data and numbers behind the work we do every day to be more efficient and support our communities,” said Brandy Wilson, Simplot’s Global Sustainability Director. “We want to create a better world tomorrow while driving toward smarter practices in the work we do today. These goals will help us contribute to feeding our world more sustainably.”
This work is not only aligned with Simplot’s core values and helping to build a more efficient, resilient business model, it’s important to the company’s customers and the communities where it operates.
“The work we do in these sustainability goals builds trust and creates the opportunity for partnership throughout our value chain,” Wilson said. “These targets let our customers know that we are laser-focused on making agriculture better at every step along the way, from mine to plate.”

This year’s higher global wheat prices (mainly because of the drought in the US) and poorer harvest in Russia YoY mean that we could see more severe inflation risks and a weaker trade balance. According to our base case scenario for 2012, Russia’s harvest is at a normal level (down from last year’s above normal), except for grain.
Unlike 2010, when a drought seriously affected the Russian harvest across the board, the vegetable harvest in Russia this year is unlikely to be influenced much by the weather. We see it returning to normal levels and not leading to a repeat of the depressed prices in 2H11. The base effect coupled with the impact of higher prices of meat, oils, cereals and bread pose extra inflation risks for 2H12. We are increasing our year-end CPI forecast to 7.3%, from 7.0%, on the back of the stronger growth in food prices which we now expect (food CPI YoY growth rates to reach 8.8% by yearend).
We do not believe that stronger food CPI growth this year will have a significant effect on the CBR’s behaviour in 2H12 and we stick to our 50bp rate hikes forecast (25bp in each of September and October). However, in order to limit the impact of food price increases on inflation expectations, the rate cuts that we expect next year might be postponed into late 2Q13.
The key food items in Russia’s external trade are wheat (on the export side) and meat, oils and sugar (on the import side). Due to the poorer harvest, we expect grain exports from Russia of 12-15mnt, as opposed to the 28mnt exported in the 2011-12 grain season. At the same time, the combined effect from increased imports of sugar (volumes) and meat and oils (prices) will likely reach USD 0.5bn in 2H12 and USD 1.5bn in 1H13. The total effect on external balances (a negative impact of USD 1.0bn in 2H12 and USD 2.9bn in 1H13) will be marginal, but nevertheless supports our cautious view on RUB later this year.


BADOG – Bakewell & District Organic Gardeners was a Garden organic local group which met monthly from 2007-2014. The aim of the group was simple, to encourage and support organic gardening in the Derbyshire Dales.
When the Covod-19 pandemic started it became obvious that food supplies would be disrupted with supermarket shelves stripped bare and shortages of fresh produce within a few days of lock down.
The result was an enormous increase in people growing their own food. What it showed was the realisation that we must get back to being more self-sufficient as individuals and as a nation. We need to learn, or re-learn, the skills of previous generations.
It’s time to relaunch BADOG to help and support those wanting to grow their own whatever their previous experience. You do not need an allotment; a garden can provide a lot of food if you use the right techniques. If you have only a small space, we will show you how to make container gardens.
We will only be online for now but if there is enough interest there will be local meetings and workshops when it is safe.
Although based in Derbyshire anybody anywhere can join us online.

While soil may not sound like the most exciting and glamorous topic, our team at the farm has a different take. The rich nutrient dense tunbridge soil of the Champlain Valley nurtures the botanicals used in our Farm Beauty Complex, so we thought it was only right to share the excitement. Come follow along as we share the process of true farm to face skincare, starting with our soil. We will be updating this series throughout the summer as our garden transforms from seedlings to some of our favorite beauty botanicals.
Our certified organic skincare garden is located just around the corner from our headquarters on our farm in Vermont. At our headquarters, our products are ideated, formulated, batched, and packaged all under the same roof.
"A quick walk down a dirt road will take you from the offices to our skincare garden: where the magic truly begins."
The Farm Beauty Complex
Our organic skincare garden is where we grow our Farm Beauty Complex, a skin nutritive maceration of Vermont native herbs that is used in almost every formula. This complex features a concentrated blend of Arnica, Borage, Alfalfa, Meadowsweet, and Calendula.
This maceration is a skin superfood that provides a full spectrum of skin-essential nutrition for optimal skin health. The blend of Vermont native herbs features 2 essential fatty acids, 6 minerals, 11 vitamins, 9 antioxidants, and 18 phenolic compounds & nutrients.
The Process By Month
Our organic skincare garden has been run for over a decade by Doreen, the garden manager. She oversees the entire process to ensure every herb is given attention, and care.
In the winter, locally sourced seeds of these Vermont native plants are purchased by Doreen and her team. Then, the team anxiously awaits for the temperamental Vermont weather to turn warm enough to begin planting.
May: May is known as mud season in Vermont. But our team knows these rainy days are essential for a healthy harvest. The soil is raked, tilled, and tended to daily to ensure it is fully prepped for planting. By the end of the month, planting has begun. Seeds are placed in the nutritive soil by hand, and gently covered. Then, we wait.
June: In June, our skincare garden is tended to daily by our in-house team with the utmost love. Seedlings are watered and weeded daily. Each herb is tended to by the loving and nurturing hands of Doreen and her team. By June, all of the herbs in our Farm Beauty Complex have been planted are being watched with a careful eye to ensure a healthy harvest.
July: Excitement buzzes as summer on the farm is in full swing. There’s cows, chicken and sheep galore: summer barbeques, and new product launches. We invite friends of the brand to come witness the magic season themselves: and the most exciting? The garden is in full bloom. The team anxiously awaits August harvests, and guests are able to enjoy the beauty of our fully flourishing skincare garden.
August: In August, calendula, alfalfa, borage, meadowsweet, and arnica are all hand-picked one by one at their peak potency by the very team that planted them only a few short months back. They are carefully moved to the greenhouse and placed on drying racks, and then left out to dry for a few days to a week — depending on humidity levels. Luckily, Doreen’s an expert and has perfected the proper timing.
Once determined to be dry by Doreen and her team, the flowers are carefully garbled and cleaned to remove any non-nutritive stems and leaves. When deemed ready, the dried flowers are carted along the dirt road up to the office buildings (typically by golf cart — truly).
September: Once the herbs have been cleaned and brought up to our offices, they are then checked and approved by our Quality Team to ensure the harvests are up to our standards.
After passing through many loving hands, it’s finally time to create the magic potion. Our Batch Team takes the dried flowers and begins the maceration process. We weigh each of the garbled flowers individually. Our Farm Beauty Complex is made in a temperature controlled maceration process to capture the full spectrum of nutrition and extract the powerful phytonutrients from each flower.
When the maceration is complete, we have our Farm Beauty Complex: our proprietary skin superfood that elevates the nutritional capacity of all of our formulas.The maceration is then kept on hand to be used in all upcoming batches.
We put a little bit of this maceration into almost every formula. It’s our way of providing your skin with the phytonutrients it needs, while also giving you a drop of Vermont in every green glass bottle. Directly from our farm, to your doorstep — and made in Vermont by our passionate teams.


It may come as a surprise, but 2013 is the year of a very powerful grain! Pronounced “KEEN-wah,” quinoa is a grain that is mainly used for the seeds it produces. It was largely grown in South America around 3,000 years ago until it faded into obscurity behind other grains and corn (Source: The University of Chicago). We now know that quinoa seeds have some significant health benefits and are especially good for digestive health, explaining the growing popularity of this grain.
Quinoa seeds are high in dietary fiber, with just 200 grams giving you 21 percent of daily value. Dietary fiber is important for digestion and can help you in many ways. The insoluble fiber, also known as “roughage,” traps water in the stool, making it soft and bulky. This helps promote regularity and relieve constipation by making stools easier to pass and having water present to move digested materials through the bowels (Source: The University of Arizona). A few handfuls of quinoa a day is all you need to keep your digestion healthy and avoid problems that could lead to hemorrhoids.
That’s not all these miracle seeds are good for either! A wealth of health benefits lies in eating quinoa seeds. These seeds serve as a complete protein source, containing all of the amino acids that wheat lacks. You can also gain more of the heart-healthy fats you need and twice the amount of calcium you need from quinoas as opposed to traditional grains (Source: World’s Healthiest Foods). All things considered, quinoa seeds emerge as a great way to take care of your body and especially protect your digestive health.


Our adventure began in 2010 when we moved to our gorgeous orchard in Maungatapere, Whangarei. We took great pride in the beautiful flavourful fruit we grew and sent off to the wholesaler. Each time we walked into a supermarket we would check out the tamarillos and wonder if it was our fruit for sale.
However, over many cups of tea we soon realised two things were missing, we had no connection with the people enjoying our fruit, and it bugged us that our fruit was not enjoyed at it's best - straight off the tree.
We started going to local markets with our fresh fruit and products, and supplied some fruit to our friends who had set up Tasty Tamarillos. Customers returned week-after-week to the markets, we loved the connection with our customers and feedback that we had grown something special and full of flavour.
Our friends that were running Tasty Tamarillos embarked on a new adventure growing Seville Oranges (check out their Facebook page) and we jumped at the chance to take over the reins of Tasty Tams.
So here we are, living the dream.

Spring time is here at last. The days are starting to warm up and the sun is starting to shine. The days are getting longer, and people are starting to go outside to enjoy the weather. With that, farmers are getting ready for their planting season, which means that you might find yourself behind tractors and you need to keep an eye out when you are driving because farm equipment drives really slow.
Farming is a huge industry in this county. There are 160,125 soybeans acres, 100,774 acres of corn for grain, 17,951 acres of wheat for grain, 78 acres of vegetables and 92 acres of orchards in Fayette County. The total acres in Fayette County are 464,000 acres, and 5,696 acres are water. Sales in 2012 for crops were $83,836,000, and livestock sales were $13,530,000. Those numbers are just in Fayette County, Illinois. As you can see this is a huge industry for our community.
Again, beware of all farming equipment driving on the roads this season. These are the people who grow our food and help drive our local economy. Enjoy the beautiful weather and pay attention on the roads.

A response to the
the climate emergency
This project aims to fight against the climate emergency, deforestation, rural exodus and poverty by creating an international replicable pilot project, within the framework of a farm-school, a place of demonstration and training, knowledge and technology transfer including :
- a nourishing and medicinal forest for food and economic sovereignty via permaculture.
- a nursery to provide the beneficiaries, through women’s cooperatives and local associations, with the necessary plants to reproduce their own nourishing and medicinal forest. The nursery is realized in collaboration with the High Atlas Foundation to ensure the availability of plants (fruit trees, shrubs, aromatic and medicinal plants, market garden plants…..) and the multiplication of food and medicinal forests, making the plants available free of charge to the beneficiaries of the project for their food and medical care
With the objective:
- To sustainably improve the living conditions of the beneficiaries by increasing their income, food autonomy and disease prevention through a healthy and diversified diet.
- To support the beneficiaries, women’s cooperatives and local associations, in a sustainable way by safeguarding their know-how and in particular their traditions and the reactivation of ancestral preventive medicinal knowledge.
This farm-school trains people in permaculture, agroforestry, agroecology, and health sciences through plants, nature and ancestral knowledge. It also consists of training trainers who will in turn train others to ensure the sustainability of the project.
The N’Terractive Association
The project is initiated and coordinated by the Swiss N’Terractive Association
The N’Terractive association was created in November 2006 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It works for environmental awareness and rational management of natural resources at regional, national and international levels.
The founding members of N’Terractive are motivated and competent women, Dr. Es science, active in the fields of management, technology and knowledge transfer and in the coordination and management of scientific and interdisciplinary projects.
N’Terractive association develops interdisciplinary projects by creating networks between universities, polytechnics, universities of applied sciences, international organizations, NGOs and SMEs in Switzerland and abroad.
Its objective is to support the socio-economic development of populations dependent on natural resources, to develop and monitor socio-educational projects and to valorize natural resources.
Our sponsors are :
We would like to thank the ProTechhno foundation which supported us at the very beginning of our project by financing the preliminary study of the project “For the creation of a pilot project for the valorization of plant species adapted to the Moroccan semi-arid zones and to support the socio-economic development of disadvantaged regions”.
The project area is located near Douar Ben Haddi, about ten kilometers from the town of Sidi-Bennour on the axis El Jadida-Marrakech and Safi-Settat. Sidi Bennour is located in the Province of El-Jadida, Region of Doukkala Abda.
The climate is Mediterranean, semi-arid. The average rainfall is 300 mm / year. The temperature varies between 39 °F to 105 °F (4°C and 40°C).
Half a hectare is dedicated to the nourishing and medicinal forest and half a hectare to the nursery.
The beneficiaries are women and men, members of local associations close to the farm-school.
Their organization is done through a management group including in its committee a member of each of the beneficiary associations to manage the administrative, financial and planning aspects. This is done by considering local management practices.
The beneficiaries participate in the construction and transfer of knowledge of the medicinal forest and the nursery.
After the establishment of the medicinal and food forest, the beneficiaries exploit in a rotating way the products resulting from the medicinal and food forest for their own consumption and to increase their income.

ATI has in-depth expertise in developing technology for aquaponics systems, where water conservation and intensive food production combine for a sustainable production system.
Fish farming and aquaponics are the fastest growing segments of agriculture worldwide today. Aquaculture now accounts for approximately 50% of the world’s food fish and is growing more rapidly than all other animal food-producing sectors. In an aquaponics system, fish are reared in land-based RAS tanks where the nutrient-rich water from the fish effluent provides nutrients to feed a variety of produce, such as vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers. In turn, the plants recondition and clean the water for recirculation back to the fish.
- Sustainability: Fish and vegetables are produced without hormones, fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.
- Water Conservation: Systems use approximately 90% less water than conventional farming irrigation.
- Faster Growth Cycles: Fish and vegetables can have higher growth rates than conventional farming. RAS technology provides an optimal rearing environment which can be controlled, monitored and maintained.
- Costs: Two crops are produced from a single input source. Aquaponics is more efficient in terms of nutrient utilization than other farming systems.
- Low Environment Footprint: Aquaponics allows for year-round production either outdoors in suitable climates or in environmentally controlled greenhouses, therefore minimizing land requirements. As such, aquaponics systems can be located near urban markets, thereby reducing transportation costs and lowering ‘food miles’.
- Organic Marketing: Fish and vegetables may qualify for organic certification. As a chemical herbicide and pesticide-free product, crops can command a premium in the marketplace.
Recent growth in this sector has been directly attributed to concerns over water scarcity and food shortages. Aquaponics is integrated technology that delivers intensive organic food production in order to meet the growing demand for food products while using 90% less water than conventional farming.
The success of an aquaponics farm is directly associated with its fish rearing technology and fish husbandry, areas in which AgriMarine has proven expertise and know-how.


Last summer I planted a small garden. It was a round garden about 4 feet by 4 feet. I planted carrots, lettuce, chamomile, and chives. I did say small. Well, time went by. The lettuce sprouted. The carrots sprouted. The chamomile sprouted. And the chives were transplanted, so they were growing well.
Well, they seemed to be doing alright for a while. Then they started to get dry, so I watered them. But not often enough. Pretty soon, all I had was a pretty pot with crunchy, brown wisps sticking out of the dirt. So I trimmed the whole thing down, hoping that the chives might sprout up again. But to no avail. I killed it. :(
I am not a gardener. I really know nothing about plants. If you could see my thumb, it is not the sightest shade of green.
So I shrugged my shoulders, and just left it. I didn't have anywhere to dump a pot of dirt. I have a couple other hanging plants that I am trying to keep alive beside the pot of dead chives. I rescued them from my local grocery store. They were on sale for like $2 and looking pretty sad. I thought I'd be able to revive them with some water and give them a good home... They are hanging in there. ha. :) And when I do water my plants (I really am trying to keep them alive) I put some water in the dead chive pot. I don't know why.. keeping hope alive, maybe?
