http://canyoncreekfarms.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
The good life, unplugged. Sunday, March 10, 2013. Update on distillery license process. In late January, while I was in the thick of finishing the first draft of my soon-to-be published book (Pure Poultry), I received an e-mail from an inspector at the WA State Liquor Control Board. The gist of the message was that the WSLCB is ready to grant me a Craft Distillery License, on one condition: That I submit a copy of my Federal Basic Permit. That's about it for now. I will probably be using a week's wor...

Pot Pies and Egg Money: Pure Poultry is going to press!
http://potpiesandeggmoney.blogspot.com/2013/08/pure-poultry-is-going-to-press.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Pure Poultry is going to press! Endorsement from Hank Will, Editor-in-Chief, Grit magazine. Big news, Pure Poultry fans! It took me several months to get it done. Partly this was because I had periodic spells of completely losing confidence in myself. Eventually I did send it in, though, complete with sample photos. Shortly after my first presentation I met Pamela Art, the president of Storey Publishing. She let me pitch my idea to her and then asked me to send her my propo...

Pot Pies and Egg Money: December 2013
http://potpiesandeggmoney.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Okay, so it's now December 15, and we are still collecting between 6 and 10 eggs per day from our laying ducks. What's the big deal about that, you ask? Well, normally at this time of year we expect anywhere from very few to zero eggs. So what's the explanation for the continued egg production this late in the year? If you have laying ducks, are you still getting eggs? I'd like to hear abo...

Pot Pies and Egg Money: April 2013
http://potpiesandeggmoney.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 7, 2013. Equal time for ducks: More on washing farm-fresh eggs. As you know, we raise laying ducks as well as chickens. Right now we're collecting an average of 28 duck eggs every day. The ducks have let me know, in no uncertain terms, that they want their moment of Internet fame; their eggs are not the same as chicken eggs, and washing them is also somewhat different from washing chicken eggs. Our organic duck eggs are sold in the Sequim area at Sunny Farms, Nash's Organic Produce, The Red...
