Ah Nuts!

Briden Farm Peanuts

While we weren’t sure they’d grow, or that we’d get any harvest, We have Nuts!

Peanuts that is!

Certainly no big crop, but as they grew and as I studied more about growing them, I do believe we can double our yields next year! So, we may plant more next year.

These ones, all from one plant, I dug by hand after pulling the plant. Actually, they should be dug out and dried with plant attached. This time, this one plant, I just pulled to see what was under it.

We probably have about 20 or so plants and We’ll likely save them for next year’s seed. Not likely We’ll make our fortune, probably just peanuts! 😉

Corny Dolls at Briden Farm

Corn Dolls

This is sort of a takeoff of something I’ve wondered about for a long time! Did the Wampanoag or Pequot or perhaps the Pilgrims (All Ancestors) ever make Dolls like this from the corn they grew? These are made from the Dent Corn we planted and we’ll dry them to use for next year’s seed. Dent Corn is used for both making Corn Meal and Livestock Feed.

A little research shows that many of the Tribes, and others, have made Corn Dolls, and many of them make mine look primitive!

Cherry Carnival 2023

For 130 Years, The People of Bear River, Nova Scotia, have invited people to come celebrate the Bear River Cherry Carnival. This year we at #BridenFarm have been so busy trying to work around the ongoing rains that we unfortunately won’t have a Float! However, the Bear River Cherry Carnival will go ahead as planned on 22 July 2023. Remember you can have the opportunity to walk the Greased Pole and grab the $100 Prize! 

Here’s a list of Activities at the 130th Bear River Cherry Carnival…
