If you've never had pasture raised beef and pork just do it. You won't believe the taste. If you love bacon....you'll hit the Fort Knox of flavor. It's out-of-control delicious. Tricia Park, her husband (both military veterans), and son run Creekside Meadows Farm, a small farm in upstate New York. Started 20+ years ago it has been a learning experience for all of them. On the arrival of their first small heard of cattle she said, "It has to be profitable or it we don't do it." Listening to her it sounds like they figured it out with some help along the way and a lot of perseverance. Tricia tells us about her farm and its offerings as a CSA and how the farm grew and became a viable business allowing them to do what they love and have a life as well. Make no mistake about it, Tricia made sure the financial and business ends were in place for the farm while her husband and son managed multiple farm operations....and I've seen her in the fields as well. It should come as no surprise the farm is run well as both Tricia and Matt are military veterans. They know how to get things done...and they are always smiling. I think they like what they do. Tricia shared some resources for Military Vets and women who wish to farm. "Farm-ops" is the veteran focused part of Cornell Small Farms. Dean Koyanagi is the head and veterans interested in farming can look them up at: smallfarms.cornell.edu/projects/farm-ops/ If you are a veteran and looking for help starting a farm visit Farmer Veteran Coalition. www.farmvetco.org Tricia's main farm business training came from www.holisticmanagement.org The program was Whole farm planning for Beginning Women farmers.

Same thing. Build a pizza oven? DoneBryony and I agree that the only limitations are the ones we impose upon ourselves.

Thinking way outside the take out box with Provisions by Pure restaurant
It's no secret that restaurants, notoriously low profit businesses, have been closed to all but take out food service during this pandemic. Restaurant owners are taking a major economic hit, cooks are facing reduced or no hours, servers are facing no hours at all. In addition, banquets are being cancelled removing another form of income for restaurants. Many aren't closing completely so they can at least keep the doors open for when this is over. 15.3 million people work in the restaurant business. Many more in the companies who supply them. This is an industry hard hit.
What's one restaurant doing to stay open during this crisis? Thinking way outside of the box...the take out box. Listen as Chef Luke Houghton and Chef Sarah Hassler talk about what they are doing and how they are responding with a virtual four course dinner....take out style...in three cities!

Making Maple Syrup - Dutch Hill Maple with Nate Williams
You may not be thinking about maple syrup in January but Nate Williams of Dutch Hill Maple is. Long before spring Nate is in the woods string tubing and hanging taps getting ready for the flow of maple sap. Dutch Hill has won Grand Champion Maple Syrup three consecutive years at the New York State Fair.
In this episode I sat down with Nate to talk about how he taps the tree, hangs the lines, and makes maple syrup. Learn how he reduces the water content and boils the sap into different grades of syrup. There is a lot to know about maple syrup and how it is made and Nate tells all.
Dutch Hill began when Dave Williams tapped 15 trees in Tully, New York. Nate now taps over 7500 trees to bring us incredible tasting syrup. So good we use it in our Clean Slate Farm maple-balsamic vinegar available at our web site or in selected retail outlets in central New York.
