🍄🍂 NEW BLOG ALERT! The Woods Are Calling… and They Have MUSHROOMS! 🌿🍁

You never know what Mother Nature is going to surprise you with when you wander into the woods! One minute you’re enjoying a peaceful fall walk, and the next you’re hauling out a giant mushroom like you’ve just won the woodland lottery! 😂🍄

Fall mushroom foraging here in New England is one of my favorite adventures! From beautiful Maitake (Hen of the Woods) to fascinating boletes, the forest floor is full of hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered.

And sometimes the best part isn’t even bringing something home. It’s slowing down, getting a little dirt on your boots, and appreciating the incredible things growing wild around us. 🌲❤️

Our newest blog post is LIVE! Come see what we’ve been finding in the woods, check out our mushroom photos, and learn a little about the magic of fall foraging!

💚 Now tell me… are you a mushroom hunter, or are you the person who walks right past a giant mushroom without even noticing it? 😂🍄

Happy foraging from The Hippie Farmer! 🌻✌️

Fall Mushroom Foraging: You Never Know What the Woods Will Give You 🍄‍ There’s something about fall that makes you want to get outside and see what the woods are doing. The air is cooler, everything smells different, and if you slow down and actually look around, there is so much growing right under your feet. Lately, that has meant mushrooms. A Good Day in the Woods...

🌿☀️ A Productive Sunday on the Homestead! 🐮🍂

What a beautiful Sunday here at The Hippie Farmer! This holiday weekend has been all about getting things done, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying the simple pleasures of homestead life. ❤️

Today was spent tackling the front of the house, clearing out the overgrown Rosa rugosa and hydrangeas, and giving everything a much-needed cleanup. 🌿✂️

And because there’s never just ONE project happening around here, I also managed to get some homemade French onion soup canned and added to our pantry shelves! 🧅🥣 There’s just something so satisfying about putting up food for the colder months ahead.

Meanwhile, the cows enjoyed themselves grazing around the yard, living their best lives while we worked. 🐮🌾

It was one of those beautiful New England fall days that makes you grateful for this life we’ve built. A little dirt on our hands, food in the pantry, happy animals, and a whole lot accomplished.

And the best part? There’s still plenty more to do tomorrow! 😂🌻

That’s homestead life. The work never ends, but neither do the rewards. ❤️

🌿🔥 FIRE C***R SEASON IS HERE! 🍎🍋🌶️

There’s something about fall on the homestead that makes me want to start filling jars with all of nature’s goodness!

Our newest blog post is LIVE, and this time we’re talking about FIRE C***R! 🔥

This traditional herbal tonic is packed with bold ingredients like fresh ginger, turmeric, garlic, onions, citrus, and hot peppers, all steeped in apple c***r vinegar. It’s a spicy, tangy way to bring a little old-fashioned herbal tradition into your kitchen!

Around here, we believe in getting back to our roots, using what nature provides, and keeping those homesteading traditions alive. 🌿

Whether you’ve been making fire c***r for years or you’re curious about trying your first batch, I’m sharing how we make ours right here on the farm!

A little heads up, friends! 🌿

Tomorrow, Wednesday, we’ll be closing the barn store a little early at 4 PM so we can attend to some family business.

We’ll be back to our regular hours on Thursday from 12–5 PM.

Thank you so much for understanding and for always supporting our little family farm. 🤎

See you at the barn! 🐐🌻

It’s cranberry season here in Massachusetts ❤️🍂

This morning, Vinnie and I took a walk through the bogs after feeding the cows, and the cranberries are being picked. The morning started with that crisp fall air we love, but this afternoon has turned surprisingly warm. That’s October in New England for you. 😂🍁

Fun cranberry fact: Cranberries are one of only a few fruits native to North America, and Massachusetts has been growing them commercially for more than 200 years!

Come stop by the barn store tomorrow from 10–4 and grab some of our New England-inspired scents to make your home feel like fall. 🍁 It’s also a great time to start your Thanksgiving and holiday gift giving!

From protecting your plants to preparing your animals and stocking up on essentials, our New England fall checklist will help you tackle winter prep before you’re doing it in 20-degree weather with numb fingers.

See you at the farm! ✌️🌻

Farm. Family. Food. Creating. Canning. Growing. Repeat.
Wouldn’t trade this crazy, beautiful life for anything. 🧡

How’s your Friday night going?! 🌙🌾

It’s been a PRODUCTIVE day here on the farm! 🙌

🍑 Peach salsa is made and canned.
🍗 7 GALLONS of homemade chicken stock is prepped and ready for tomorrow’s canning adventure — Ham & Potato Soup! 🥔🥣

That stock was made from 12 chicken carcasses from birds we raised right here on the farm, along with organic carrots and onions from Azure Standard. There’s just something about making food from what you’ve raised yourself that never gets old. ❤️

And after being in the kitchen all day, I was NOT making a complicated dinner. 😂 So I stole some of that fresh chicken stock and made rice ramen for everyone. Simple, warm, and exactly what we needed. 🍜

Now we’re topping off the night with the latest Hocus Pocus movie 🎃🧙‍♀️ while Dad is outside buttoning down the hatches for this storm! 💨🌧️

Farm chores, canning, homemade dinner, a cozy movie…and hopefully everything stays right where it belongs outside. 😂

Happy weekend, y’all! ✌️🌻

What are YOU up to this Friday night?
