Deer season is in and I thought I'd try to make some freezer space so I made a 30 lb batch of snack sticks and delivered about half to the Boy's Ranch which I try and support since they do so much good for boys and girls. I figured this might be a nice snack they could enjoy after school.

I gave...

After over 100 years this iconic establishment may be nearing its end. I can't see penciling out a profit because you'd have to sell a lot of sausage. Shame to see places like this go.

Does anyone have any experience overcoming the issues of getting raw materials by having a business license? It seems everywhere that I turn no one has jowls, or back fat, or even whole belly. Why because Johnny Q Public doesnât buy these items regularly. So when I go to the bigger meat packers...

Last post

3 things. Wholesalers don't want to deal with individual people coming in to buy small quantities. There's a cost involved when dealing with that. Secondly, if a butcher found out that a wholesaler was chopping his nuts off by selling direct, there would be a real good chance the butcher would...

First post

Mushroom season is here! Although the picking is getting harder due to logging, more people picking and the dry summers, I managed to gather a few. Yesterday I spent all day in a thick forest and managed to find only about 3 lbs of chanterelles. But I also had a few good days in the past couple of...

Last post

That is a nice collection Jason! I love the colour of your chanterelles and it would be great to compare the taste with our Pacific variety. You are lucky that you have no competition in the forest. It used to be like that here but in the last several years more and more people are stomping around...

I have a fair amount of things in the works and the weather has been perfect up until this week as the highs on the ambient temps are bumping 67F for a high. I'm a little concerned things may not dry properly but what gives me hope is the humidity has increased to 82% during these highs. I could...

Last post

Thanks. I was hoping this would be the case. Its supposed to cool down at the end of the week so things should get back to normal. This should work out good because I have some coppa and hams curing in the cooler and they should be ready to start drying by the 9th

Hi Everyone, no I'm not dead, however, I have had some health issues with my heart for quite sometime now, but I'm on the right track and feeling much better.
Just in time, as the my curing season has started.

Someone I know would like some information on it.
He knows it is cognac. He assume it was distilled in Russia, or assuredly part of the former Soviet Union. He can't seem to find anything on this particular brand.
Any further information any of you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Last post

I'd be hard pressed to break the seal on that piece of history but then again there is a curious side to me that would encourage me to do so. Don't know what I'd do.

I believe this will be a good year for wine. A load of blueberries was turned down by a grocery chain because they claimed they were too sweet. Too sweet? Taste fine to me but whatever they say I guess. Being one to help out I agreed to dispose of these foul berries. I wish I could have helped more...

Last post

Sounds like you are going to be busy. I'd like to get a barrel and give barrel that a try. I racked the blueberry the other day and tested a little of it. I think its going to be really good if something doesn't go wrong. Its straddling the fence between semi-sweet and dry. I don't really like dry...

Has anyone done one of these workshops?

Looks like a dream learning experience for me, and I`m due a big vacation right around when they have their March session (or at least I am very close to convincing myself of that).

Last post

I was a vegetarian for 15 years and I am still reconciling myself to eating meat again. One of my goals is to use all of the hog with no waste, out of respect for the loss of life, so I really should be doing my own butchering from at least half a hog. The workshop you found would get me started...
