Despite the groundhog’s promise of early spring, March stormed in like a lion with bitter cold. I certainly hope this is Old Man Winter’s “last hurrah.” Here’s one more video of winter scenes, weather and animals over the years. Next up…signs of spring! You can visit The Winter Category of my Common-Tater blog to see many more videos and photos of life on the farm in the winter.
 Happy Frosty Friday! We remain open to the general public, even on Friday the 13th! You can check out our hours of operation as well as our product pricing and availability at “What We Offer At The Door.”
Life goes on regardless of the winter weather we endure here at the farm. The snow and cold don’t stop us whether we are trying to get “just one more” tractor job done or heading out on the snow covered roads to deliver to our customers. And winter definitely adds a great element of fun when we’re busy blazing new trails in deep snow in the back 40 with my trusty Defender! You can visit “Historic Snow Banks” to see the massive snow banks at the farm last winter.
Old Man Winter has shown many different faces at the farm over the years. We’ve had record snowfall and massive ice storms. We’ve lived through extreme cold and winds that truly chilled us to our bones. Some winters there is no snow at all, and other years we have a beautiful, snow covered landscape around us. But the best winter days are when the brilliant sun shines and the fields sparkle with snow while we enjoy the view from the inside! You can visit “And We Have Snow!” to see some of our snow moving equipment here at the farm.
A picture really is worth a thousand words. So here is my 10,000 word summary of 2025 at our farm. This is a quick glance at the farming work we do as the seasons turn, the different crops we grow and the people that we are. The recipes for “Breakfast Twice Baked Potato II”, “Creamy Herbed New Potato Salad” and “Curry Sweet Corn Soup” featured in the photos are available for free on our website, as is my “Feed Your Brain!” cookbook for anyone who is learning how to cook. For more photos and videos I invite you to explore my Common-Tater blog.
