About Me
Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few. In 1994, at 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed up 200 boxes of books & antiques, & waved goodbye to my native California. Armed with a basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure & lots of naivete, I ended up on a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, midwife & undertaker. My prep school education & graphic design background were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Seven years ago I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 2 dogs, 7 cats, 4 very entertaining donkeys & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food. I write food & garden articles & have taught cooking classes & contributed to cookbooks. I'm a passionate bread baker, and we're slowly building a small wholesale artisan bread bakery here on the farm.

when is the art gallery open?
At night, when no one is looking, we do intricate hammered metal work with our beaks. Chickens do not care about recognition, we care only for our art.
The only thing better than your charming and inspiring content is the hysterical feedback. Lindy's comment is the best.
Hi Sha,
Oh, it's one of those 24/7 kinda galleries--art is everywhere you look! : )
Hi Lindy Chicken,
Well, that's certainly a much more interesting explanation for what that is than the one Joe gave me (any guesses?). And this piece is hanging fairly close to your henhouse. Fabulous work. But don't you think it would be even more fabulous if you two laid an egg once in a while?
Hi Amy,
I live for the feedback.
We're working on it. Would you like something in a nice brown tone, or do you prefer the more ordinary white?
(We aim to please, but all this multitasking is rough on sensitive, artistic type poultry. Sometimes we may experience intermittant delays.)
Oh my god. This is ridiculous. It's been so long since either one of you laid an egg that you can't even remember what color they are when they come out!?
Whitey, you (used to) lay cute little white eggs. Lindy, you (used to) lay lovely large dark brown eggs. Think back, girls!
Sometimes I can't believe what I am up against around this place.
And on top of that, I think somebody has compromised my Blogger password again.
My husband thinks I'm nuts for loving stuff like this.
