Farm life:
I go 45 mph everywhere I go. As a side benefit, I save gas. But the truth is that I am hunting puffball mushrooms on the roadside. I found 6 this week. Pulled over and picked up 3 and gave 1 to Gregori's babysitter. Thursday, I was looking so hard to find some more, but was covering the same trails going to and from the babysitters, home and farm. The farm has surged in production of tomatoes and we have been spending every possible moment taking care of it all. Home late Thursday night - I left the dehydrator in the back of my truck bed thinking that I could get it out in the morning. Friday morning, running late, I put Gregori into his seat and threw open the truck gate and sat there for a moment figuring out how to wrap my arms around the large dehydrator so I could lug it without dropping it. I looked down and cried out "OH NO!" Trampled under my feet was the biggest, most perfect puffball mushroom - all white and in pieces! Haste makes waste indeed!!
Ann - Daddy's Girl Goat Dairy
Those in Davidson and those who go to the Tuesday Tailgate Market get to experience a rare treat in Ann, owner of Daddy's Girl Goat Dairy. She raises truly organic, 98% non GMO fed goats and uses their milk to make flavored goat cheese. It is truly lovely. She is a true homestead farm. Which, as I faintly understand it, means that most everything she sells comes off of her farm as the labor of her own hand. Because she is so strict in her interpretation of organic, her goats sometimes will produce less milk than the state average. Only recently, she has been getting some other organic curds to create her cheese - but she let's you know honestly which cheese came from where. She makes a blend that is wonderful.
She forages. She is a true mushroom hunter and will come to market with a variety of neat looking mushroom edibles if it has rained earlier in the week. She picks of persimmons to sell. She picks up the hazel-nuts from trees. She will very occasionally rob her all natural bees for purely organic honey. She brings all kinds of neat herbs she finds in her fields and uses them as decoration at her stand.
Shy at her core, but outspoken in nature, Ann loves good conversation and nice wine. I like having my stand near hers and consider her one of my most treasured friends. I think she is a brilliant woman, who lives her beliefs, treats her animals extremely well (she is a trained masseur and massages the goats), and she knows more about the land and living off of it than any other person I have met. Every time I talk with Ann for any length of time, I learn something I never knew before. Like how to hunt for wild puffball mushrooms in unexpected places...
