Fresh This Week Tips, June 6, 2010
Orange Honeydew image from www.specialtyproduce.com STORE: Store your honeydew melon on the countertop for 2-4 days until ripe. A perfectly ripe honeydew will yield just a bit to pressure at the blossom end and smell sweet like honey. Once ripe, store it whole in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. PREP: Wash your honeydew melon before […]
Know Your Food: Sweet Creek Albacore Tuna
You are probably concerned or maybe just curious about the tuna we have begun offering. Wondering why is it different from any other “canned tuna” you would buy in the grocery store? And right you are to wonder! More and more, consumers are beginning to show interest, or even concern about where their food comes […]
Acid and Alkaline Diet
Spring is here, the weather is warmer and probably the most asked question I get is, “How can I lose weight?” or “Which diet works?” When thinking about losing weight, it’s not always the decreased number on the scale that we are looking for. It is the way it makes us feel: the increased energy, […]
Know Your Farmer
As a farmer, I need to be a full-time lobbyist for common sense. The USDA and folks in Washington D.C. can create a lot of extra work for us small farmers! One seemingly little law or rule change can seriously impact our lives, farms, and future. Currently, there is one such proposed bill going through […]
Spring!
This time of year is filled with such eagerness and new beginnings. The cold, gray winter is fading fast and we welcome the sunny, cool days of spring. With each coming season new joy and excitement emerges. For me, spring is marked with the planting of seeds. Our windowsills are lined with little pots studded […]
You Gotta Start Early!
Stephen, the now big brother to our little Joanna Prayse, is my farm helper. (Now, I really think he is helping mom by helping me, but nonetheless, I enjoy spending time with him!) Stephen, like most of my children, and probably like many of your children, loves to work with his daddy. The other day, […]
Shhh… Quiet please. The symphony is about to begin!
We have been tuning our stringed instruments, the brass and woodwinds are warming up, and the percussionists are readying themselves! Now, the lights dim and all is quiet. In moments, the orchestra will erupt into an awe-inspiring symphonic masterpiece. Don’t you just love a good piece of music? I do. At this moment, I have […]
Of Springtime, Boys . . . and Tractors!
I can remember one year, when we had a great February and March, but then April was horrible and May wasn’t much better. That year I didn’t act on the early weather, and was waiting for the normal spring start in April. What a mistake! This year we have tentatively opened up about 3 acres […]
"Soil"
I overheard my daughter Maddy (8) correcting her younger sister Maleah (5) last week. Maleah was using the word “dirt” as they were playing with BRIO train tracks, a Lincoln log house and a few little people. Maddy, in the casual course of conversation, responded to the word “dirt” by saying that it is actually “soil.” […]

Cows Need Greens Too
by Ashley Rodriguez Last April, I was invited by the director, Robert Kenner, to attend a screening of Food, Inc. in Los Angeles. This invitation was all thanks for my brother who filmed much of the movie. I jumped at the opportunity to see the film. Food, Inc. “lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, […]
What a Great Spring!
We are tentatively firing up the tractors and getting ready for spring. I have called the lime spreader and hopefully he will be ready to lime our fields this week. In farming, timing can be critical and for the Klesick Family Farm, with all of our diversity, we need to lime as early as possible. […]

How are Your New Year's Resolutions Coming?
I have been trying to stay on track myself, spend more time with my family, lose a few pounds, get a little more sleep and exercise daily. I have been measuring my goals using an excel spreadsheet. It is amazing the accountability that comes from journaling your successes and, need I say it, yes, setbacks. […]
