https://hegerfamilyfarms.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/a-bag-of-beans-and-more
Honoring the Past, Working Today, Preparing for the Future. A Bag of Beans and More…. As I started making chili the other night, I wish I had taken a few minutes to soak some our farm raised Pinto Beans before heading off to work. I didn’t, so I used canned beans.

Trends have made the idea of homemade and rustic fashionable. Beans h...

Honoring the Past, Working Today, Preparing for the Future. I am a farm wife and mom of five that married into rural farm life in central North Dakota. I grew up in the big city of Minneapolis. I enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city, access to all that I could imagine, but have transitioned to farm life; loving every minute!

https://hegerfamilyfarms.wordpress.com/2016/10/09/family-visits-to-the-farm
Honoring the Past, Working Today, Preparing for the Future. Family Visits to the Farm. Our summer is always busy. The farm is very demanding as machinery always needs repair or fine tuning, crops checked and cared for, hay is cut, baked and hauled, and animals like to be fed too! 😊 We plant some crops into early June and begin harvest of others in late July. This summer was a lot fun! The best part was having family visit and hosting family and friends out at the farm for a Farm-B-Q! My life has gone fr...

Oh… Christmas Cookie – Heger Family Farms
https://hegerfamilyfarms.wordpress.com/2016/12/14/oh-christmas-cookie
Honoring the Past, Working Today, Preparing for the Future. Oh… Christmas Cookie. I LOVE to cook and despise cleaning up! Sometimes I get a wild hair and start cooking and baking away, not knowing if anything I end up with in the end will be good or if anyone will be around to eat it. So what do I do in the cooking department for holiday baking? But I didn’t have any other holiday “baking” done. I hadn’t even made chocolate covered pretzels- boy was I behind! It was quiet and I had a little helper, so I ...
