We've added a search feature that's available at the top of each page. This search box will allow you to find products, photos, articles and links on our website. Enjoy!

We've updated the Articles section with a sort feature. By default all of the articles are sorted into categories. With a simple click of the mouse, you can sort the articles alphabetically or by date, with the newest article on top. If you can think of another way you'd like to be able to sort the articles, or have a comment about the new system feel free to contact us.
I have started adding 'Related Links' and 'Related Articles' sections to the bottom of all the Article pages. I am making descriptive titles, so you have a good idea of what you can find at each link, but there is usually far more to see.
If the link is to a company that sells products, I will identify it with the word 'Retail' at the beginning of my title. Many retail sites have huge amounts of information, and are worth looking at, even if you don't need to buy the product.
I usually give a link directly to a particular page which goes with the article above it. Other articles may have links to a different page on the same web site. Sometimes the exact same web link page is used, and when I do that, I use the exact same title, so you can tell if you have seen it from another article. For example, Grain Mills are used for each kind of grain, so the same 'Related Links' for Retailers of grain mills will be listed with corn, spelt and wheat articles.
At the end of the short title I write, I give the source, which is often abbreviated to save space. All of these links are ones I chose as useful, not just a collection of all I could find with a search engine. Some are written with political or religious comments, so don't blame me if you don't like something they say. If I find information which could be useful, I include the link with the article it goes with.
I do welcome readers to forward links to me anytime. They may not appear right away, but I will save them, and use them if I can. Just click on the 'Contact Us' button at the top or bottom of every page.
We have just put the finishing touches on the products section. We currently offer one product, a collection of vegetable seeds. We've also added some links to important parts of the website on the homepage. Let us know what you think here. Enjoy!

Twelve new pictures with captions are up in the fruit photos section. They are about making apple juice with a steam canner. Go to the Articles section to read all about it.
We've been working hard to improve the photo gallery's navigation system. Now, in addition to being able to view photos by category, photos can be scanned through using the [<< previous] and [next >>] buttons right below each full size photo. The photo itself also acts as a link to the next photo in the series. The title bar of your browser will display the name of the photo as well as in which category it falls. As always, if you have any suggestions or comments on the new system feel free to use the Contact Us section.
