My grandma always had a garden, more modest in size than her own mothers and a beautiful strawberry patch, if you asked me back then I could have sworn that we put up more sweet corn than anyone in the county and she had probably thee best garlic dill pickle recipe! [READ MORE…]
I want to give you a little glimpse into the rear view mirror of Karina Jones so you can see why I am so passionate about this way of life.

It has taken me a lot of chocolate to get through this week, which means I have a lot to recap for you!
First of all, Texas A&M submitted a book, literally a book to the House Ag Committee last week that was entered in to testimony for the hearing on the state of the livestock industry.
