Hello & welcome to the farm!
I always love hearing from readers, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. You're welcome to e-mail me at farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com, but please bear in mind that it is currently taking me up to four to six weeks to reply to messages.
You are welcome to link to Farmgirl Fare from your own blog or website (thank you!); asking my permission isn't necessary. Sorry, but I don't do link exchanges.
If you have a comment or question about one of my recipes, please consider leaving it in a comment on the specific recipe post so others will be able to read and benefit from what you have to say. I receive all blog comments via e-mail, so even if you leave a comment on a very old post, I'll receive it and will do my best to reply.
If you've written about one of my recipes on your own blog (thank you!) I ask that you please link back to my site in your post. And you're welcome to leave the permalink to your post in the comments section of my post so other Farmgirl Fare readers can find it.
I do my best to reply to all of my e-mail, but some messages do fall through the cracks, and for that I apologize.
I also regret that I'm no longer able to answer messages that are full of general questions about moving to the country or living on a farm. After spending countless hours over the past few years answering these types of messages and then never hearing back from 99% of the senders, I've realized that my limited time is better spent sharing more recipes and stories about my crazy country life, posting more photos, and of course maintaining the farm. However, I'm working on a page of Frequently Asked Farmgirl Questions that I hope to have ready one of these days.
Thanks so much for visiting Farmgirl Fare. I know there are a zillion places you can go online, and I'm thrilled that you've chosen to spend some of your time here with us.
All the best to you,
Farmgirl Susan

Susan,
GREETINGS MY NEW HERO! YOU ROCK! While very slooooow here at work in an engineering office in New Jersey (slow due to the real estate and economic slump)I have discovered your awesome blog! I am an early 30's girl who dreams of living "in the country"... I do,sort of,well compared to East Jersey (where I grew up) I now live in west Jersey (yes, there are still farms here) but tis also suburban (as I sit at my desk, in an office located on a noisy highway)... I discovered your blog while looking up beer bread recipies and I have been reading it for the past 3 days! I ENVY YOU AND MAY SHOW UP ON YOUR DOOR STEP ONE NIGHT! If I ever follow through with my threats of getting the hell out of this corrupt "garden" state!
I swear its like all of the many many daydreams I've had for many years have been lived out by you!You're even an artist (I have a BFA, but of course, I'm an adminitrative assistant)
So I shall continue to live vicariously thorugh your blog!
THANK YOU for the inspiration and virtual getaway!
Ciao,
Cara (a Jerzey Gyrl)
Oh I love your blog and I can relate to your life on the farm. I am a former girl who grew up on Long Island, went to Colorado and lived for nearly 18 yrs. in the mountains and now live on a 20 acre non-working farm in Wisconsin. I even have a my old girl beagle that looks like your picture - how funny. She is 14 and I call here the best darn beagle in the whole wide world ( I am biased ). I blog about my life her on the farm trying to mangage that along with kids, dogs, hubby and a stay at home business. Your blog is just lovely and I am so glad I found it keep up the good work! If you get a chance please visit my blog - I have a picture of my beagle on there too.
Thanks,

I found your recipe for spinach soup which sounds great. Tried to print it, but it won't let me do it without printing 17 pages. Help!
bassin2125@sbcglobal.net Thanks
Hi Susan, I really love your site. Have recently started raising chickens (small scale) for eggs and have gone chicken crazy. Live in Old Chatham, NY and have grown up on a farm so I most certainly appreciate all the farm pics and stories. I want to get the Comfort Food book you mentioned, sounds great! I think my favorite comfort foods are chili and soups. I love trying new recipes out so I'll check out some of yours. Thanks so much for this very entertaining site. It's now added to my favorites. Thanks again!

Hi -
I just tried one of your recipes -- the apple blueberry crumble bars -- and they were delicious! And my son and I had a great time making them. Thanks for posting it!
I am thrilled to have found this blog! I'm a former editor who has just given it all up to do what I've always wanted: go to culinary school and become a chef. I love using local and/or organic food when I cook and another item on my to-do list is to raise chickens of my own, so I'm loving your photos and entries. Keep 'em coming!
Susan,
I'm a long time reader, but recently I haven't been able to get the site to load up. (Apple iBook/Safari) On the rare ocassions it does load at all it takes f...o...r...e...v...e...r. I don't have this problem with other blogger.com sites.
SB (missing you)(and especially Dan!)
Currently I too am in a transition from clinical research to slowing life down. I am pursuing a new career in baking.
I would love to live away from the hussle and bussle city life delivers. The I idea of surrounding myself with nature, land, sky and fuzzy animal friends sounds amazing. One catch my husband is a city guy:)
Thank you for your amazing site, and stories. I truly have enjoyed reading them and seeing your pictures. In my previous life, I wanted to be a a large animal vet, live in rural Texas, but life sometimes does not work as planned.
Thank you for giving me a view into your life, maybe one day I can persuade my husband to give up city insanity and embrace rural life.
Hello! I just discovered your blog and I'm so excited! Like so many of these other readers, I too would like to leave my city live for a hobby farm with the possibility of a furniture refinishing business. But until my husband and I can get up the means and know-how, we're stuck for now. But thank you for the glimpse into your brave adventure. It gives me a new hope.
Ok, I posted on the book giveaway but after I sat back and read about your life, I am thrilled to meet you. I live on a farm too, with Hubby, 3 grown Daughters (Well they come and go) 5 horses, dairy cattle (Not ours) dogs, cats, fish, outside-tons of birds, squirrels, coyotes, turkey etc. LOVE IT HERE, wouldn't wanna be anywhere else. Check out my webshots and my blog. :) lots of farm pics. NICE TO MEET YOU!!!!!! Love your donkeys!!!!!! Jeanne
Thank god - then I'm not the only one. I'm sitting her 10.000 miles away in DK - and when I read your blog...I finally found a sister...after 20 years on this farm I'm the well fed farmgirl who use to be a totally citygirl...YAK
You made my day - THANK YOU says the fat wife to a skinny farmer with 300 cows and 12 cats in Denmark, Europe
I would love to win the copy of Cornbread Gospels because:
Having grown up in the South, I was raised on cornbread. . . cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner or wonderful warm cornbread slices with melted butter with fresh vegetables. I am also a fan of Crescent and own one of her big cookbooks. I enjoy reading it as much as I do trying her vegetarian recipes.
I've enjoyed following farmgirlfare for several years - even before the Cary era! Love your recipes, stories and pictures of farm life. Your Autumn Soup recipe (with red bell pepper and yellow squash) is a big favorite of mine.
Thanks!
Hello Susan,
I am actually in Missouri now staying with my parents. I currently live in Tucson ,AZ.
Cornbread, is nostagic for me, whether with chili, or with honey and butter, served warm of course. I also sometimes heat it up and pour milk on top.
When I am serving my foodie friends, I add fresh corn kernals and green chiles(fire roasted ont he stove first). This makes a cool texture and a yummy flavor without being to spicy. Blue corn is cool too...and bake them liek cupcakes with a white bean turkey chili :)
sooooo yummy.
anyway, I am dying to come and visit, any chance you want a plant nerd (landscape architect) from tucson to come by for a visit. I come with frozen homemade tamales straight from Mexico :)
Hi Susan!
I just discovered your blog and I love it! I also have a blog about my life in the country (south GA), gardening, cooking, painting, crafts, etc. www.tiffanyrichards.blogspot.com
Although I grew up here in the country, I've lived most of my adult life on a beach in Fla. But the country called me back to my roots and I couldn't resist!
David and I have only been in our log cabin for 1 year so we are slowly building our farm. He built me the most adorable garden shed (it looks like a small church!) at one end of the barn and we have chicken coups ready at the other end! Getting the field ready for cows and horses. Lot's to be done!
I also have a graphic design background. I have my own webdesign & photography biz.
Anyway, I just related to you and wanted to reach out and say hello!
I'd love to add your link to my bloglist! Thanks for putting so much thought into your blog!
Thanks again!
Hi susan, I just found your blog and bookmarked it. I love it. Spectacular! i want to walk in your shoes! Any swiss chard recipes?? I will take another look. I grow organic spicey peppers and heirloom tomatoes and have lots of pets. I am also an artist who uses nature as a point of reference. I am going to check out land in Missouri! thanks! Debra
I was in MO last week and fell in love with a little town in IL called Nashville. 3200 people and all farm land. I live in a rural area of the southeast, but am beginning to think I would love to live in IL or MO. 36 acres for $110,000; 29 of the acres are and can be leased in the future, and the rest of the property is wooded area and a creek. How great is that? Where are you in MO?
Did not read your whole site, just about freezing zucinni. Anyway,
if your zukes are turning yellow and dying, that is because the girl flowers are not getting fertilized by the boy flowers. You can tell which is which, and do the deed yourself.
Hello susan i love your blog

Hi, I'm made your green tomato salsa relish last year and it was awesome! I'm looking for it now on your site so I can make it again but it's not coming up! I'm so bummed, I wanted to share the recipe with some friends too.
Hi Anonymous Green Tomato Relish Lover!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my recipe - and want to spread the word about it. Not to worry - the recipe is alive and well and still up. I'm not sure why you were having trouble finding it (I typed in 'green tomato relish' in the google search bar at the top of the right sidebar just to check and it popped right up), but all you have to do is click right here. Enjoy! :)
Hi i just love the way u live.
Susan you are an inspiration to all! I was searching for a "roasted red pepper" recipe, or techniques on the "how to". When your site popped up, I read it, then read about your farm, then read about baby Carey...then kept reading!! You are an exceptional writer, let alone "farm girl"!! I've been sitting here for over an hour now going through your site, as my red peppers stay unroasted....Thank you for having such a fun blog, recipe and adventurous life!!! I'm hooked, and will be checking in on the farm everyday now! Thanks again!! Lynn Marie, Indiana
susan, i just used your pureed kohlrabi recipe. i was a bit leary about the leaf thin and the mushrooms. i received my perfect kohlabi in my lancaster county pa csa and didn't even know what it was! but alas, it was terrific. thank you! i now appreciate your special genius and why you have made the choices which you have. bon appetit!
Hello Farmgirl!
I just tried your beer bread recipe and had to make a couple adjustments due to the altitude in Wyoming.
But it turned out fantastic, I added 1/4 cup minced garlic, Tony Chacheri's creol cajun salt instead of regular salt and 3/4 sharp cheddar.
How quick easy, no mess. My brother and I share a home and he works late shift. I like to have a good hot meal for him, he works so hard. So, I can't wait for him to get home and have some vegetable stew and this wonderful crusty bread.
Thank you so much, can't wait to try some of your other bread recipes.
I love the idea too, of making bread baskets as gifts for the Holidays. (especially with our economy these days).
God bless you and yours.
Betty in Cheyenne.
Hi, I know you live in your overalls, so I just want to tell you that tomorrow, November 20, we have the first international overalls day celebrating the very best clothing item ever made, overalls, please join us and take a look on my blog, bibprofessor.wordpress.com
