Holly Noonan My New Going Gluten Free Program

Hey foodies- I just wanted to let you know that I have just put the finishing touches on a program I have worked hard to create. It's a teleclass recording that accompanies a workbook, so you follow along in the workbook while you listen. It also comes with a 28 page ebook called "How to Go Gluten Free Without Losing Your Mind." Have you long-suspected wheat might pose a problem for you? Is that true for other people in your family? Well giving up wheat (and ALL gluten) can seem like a monument… Continue

Darren Allen Prepping the garden for next year and more

Well that is what I started out to do, prep the garden for next year. But alas my age old equipment didnt exactly work with me. I purchased a bag of winter rye which I use as a cover crop on the two parcels of garden area. The rye does two things, 1) is a green manure so when I roto till the garden in the spring it adds natural nutrients to the soil 2) covers the ground so the earthworms (yes worms) can do their magic just beneath the surface, earthworm activity is very helpful by adding natural… Continue

Holly Noonan Trick or Flu? Is the Sugar Worth it?

The time is here when we give ourselves permission to go to town with those mini candy bars "just for a few days." It just happens to be coinciding H1N1 hitting our state. Yet we know that sugar is one of the triggers for lowering our immune system, along with alcohol, stress and lack of sleep. While this "swine flu" doesn't seem to be more severe than a regular, seasonal flu (with some unpredictable exceptions) it is way, way more contagious than a regular flu. Watch this… Continue

Made In Maine ... The Best Tempeh Evah! I was very excited to read about Jamie and Andy Berhenu’s Organic Tempeh in Avery Kamila’s article (I love Avery’s new column, but that’s another post!) in the Portland Press Herald’s Food & Dining section last week. Jamie and Andy, along with their two children (and sometimes Jamie’s parents!) sell their produce on Saturdays at the Deering Oaks Farmers Market (Portland, Maine). This is where we met a few years back. Jamie and Andy own and work Lalib… Continue

Nicole Ouellette Stuff To Make With Blueberries?

So I bought a quart of blueberries, just thinking I live in Downeast Maine and they are fresh and good. Problem is it's been so hot, I'm not sure of what I can make with them that doesn't involve steaming up my kitchen. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do with a ton of delicious blueberries without making my kitchen an inferno? Continue

Meadowsweet Lamb and Herb Farm Proud of country and garden

This morning out in the garden, the birds were singing, and the brood ewes were wandered around the pasture, lazily looking for a few last mouthfuls of grass before settling down for their afternoon nap to chew their cuds. Basket in hand I was harvesting and thinning lettuce, whistling to the mourning doves calling happily from the trees. Letting my imagination go back in time thinking about past generations of farmers who had performed this same task. The silence was broken as in the distance… Continue

Lisa V. Blake, Be A Good Apple Mindful observations in India lead to deep appreciation of Maine's natural intention

As I prepare to head off for a month of teaching in India, I am reminded of many blessings here in Maine. We are able to choose eating healthy, conscientiously grown organic produce, to support a farmer's labor of love and invest in our good health. Even with our short growing season, we have the benefits of fertile soil, reasonable growing climate, usually with the right mix of rain and sunshine to pull off and up some amazing earth offerings. The last time I was in India, staying at a hotel o… Continue

Holly Noonan How to Grow While Overwhelmed

I have a renewed respect for single parents after the week I just had. My husband was just away for a week on an incredibly-well-deserved vacation (solo kayaking at Moosehead Lake.) I got everything done. I fed the dog and gave her her meds. I emptied the dishwasher and the dehumidifiers under the house. I fed, bathed and nuzzled my son to sleep every night. The I got up and cleaned the kitchen and finished all my domestic work by about 9:15pm, at which time I would start my other work. I defin… Continue
