Barren Creek Farm : Getting started with the daunting task of getting started
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/10/getting-started-with-daunting-task-of.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. Getting started with the daunting task of getting started. While we understand fully that it is healthy for forests to burn on occasion and to allow nature to take it's course to some extent, the fact remains that thinning and selective harvesting are important for maintaining a healthy forest. I could digress into an entire explanation of this, but there is a lot of info out there from the US Forest Service. Obviously, this task is bigger than we are and we need some financial a...

Barren Creek Farm : Hillbilly Junk = Hipster Treasures
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/09/hillbilly-junk-hipster-treasures.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Hillbilly Junk = Hipster Treasures. If you've ever driven through rural America, you've noticed junk heaps near homes. Decades of rusted metal and stuff piled about in various areas. We have our requisite piles here at Barren Creek Farm. Over the years, every barn or shed no longer in use for agriculture production has been filled with junk. or treasure. Depends on how you look at things. For his first task, he cleaned out and sorted through the old dairy barn. Which dev...

Barren Creek Farm : Monday, Monday...
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/09/monday-monday.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. It's definitely a Monday. Things aren't going badly. But, everyone's energy is low and there have been distractions to getting the work rolling today. This is when it's good to set your own pace; take a moment to re-group. We were all a bit disappointed with the $150 payout for our trailer full of cedar that represented several hours of work and half a day just getting it delivered and unloaded. We need to re-think how we are going to approach this.

Barren Creek Farm : Historic Preservation, Traditional Building Techniques and the Hillbilly Way
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/10/historic-preservation-traditional.html
Thursday, October 23, 2014. Historic Preservation, Traditional Building Techniques and the Hillbilly Way. Over the years we have evolved to love and embrace our hillbilly heritage. What once look liked the rundown housing of poverty, now represents a stubborn strength and determination to survive on one's own terms. The log cabins, split rail fences and rock work of the Ozarks represent this strongly to my brother, my husband and me. Barn at Farmstead Exhibit - Historic Arkansas Museum. Please, contact us.

http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/10/cleaning-up-messes-and-salvaging.html
Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Cleaning up the messes and salvaging treasures. We didn't find a very much salvageable, unfortunately the damage was too great on almost anything but glass or ceramic. But, we did find a few of those hidden treasures among the rubble. Some glass and ceramic pieces survived and are now listed on our Etsy site. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Barren Creek Farm : Getting started with NRCS...
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/11/we-finally-met-with-arkansas-forestry.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Getting started with NRCS. At this point, we still have not been able to find a forest land manager willing to come work our area, but we now have the time to address this ourselves. The forestry guys did leave us four contact names and we will reach out to them. In the meantime, they told us the deadline for the NRCS applications for ranking period consideration was coming up on us quickly (11/21/14). And what about the land deed?

Barren Creek Farm : Made in the USA
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014/10/made-in-usa.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Made in the USA. Much of the USA manufacturing has shut down and been shipped out to other countries. We simply cannot compete with the prices of the cheap labor available in other countries. However, the craftsmanship, quality and creativity have suffered with large-scale mass production. Unfortunately, there are few willing to pay the cost for quality, crafted pieces. As we have Arkansas Pride, here are a few we recommend:. Juanita's Candy Kitchen -. Made in the USA. Cleani...

Barren Creek Farm : June 2014
http://barrencreek.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. Chanterelle mushrooms are delicious! These bright orange fungi pop up on the forest floor after a moist period (like now) throughout the Ozarks. Here at Barren Creek Farm, I stumbled upon some in my back yard and within a short walk in our private forest. I collected about 10 oz of fresh smooth chanterelle mushrooms between two locations. I took care to leave over half of the mushrooms unpicked to encourage future generations. What is Barren Creek Farm? My brother, Eric, and I are ...
