MAKE ELDERBERRY SYRUP AT HOME TO HELP NAVIGATE COLD-AND-FLU SEASON.
RACHAEL DUPREE
A Spoonful of Syrup

And just like that, winter overtakes the homestead. It seems like the trees just turned their beautiful golden hues, but now the leaves are in piles on the ground and  limbs are covered in snow and ice. The first snowfall has hit Kentucky, where I live, and now things can officially slow down and turn inward.

I have to admit, life in the country has turned me into a cold-weather lover. There's nothing cozier than hunkering down in cuddly PJs in the evening or more fulfilling than taking a brisk hike through a shower of sparkly snowflakes. Plus, it gives me an excuse to do more of what I love most: play around in the kitchen.

Soil Conservation

Often, outside of having a specific problem that needs to be addressed, soil conservation isn't something every farmer readily thinks about. Yet conserving the soil should be at or near the top of every farmer owner or manager's list of concerns because absent the prevention of soil erosion, we have the opportunity for another dust bowl.
