Briden Farm Gardens at The Barn Property

Barn Property Gardens 2023

The following photos will give you an idea of the size of our Briden Farm Gardens at The Barn Property. I haven’t exactly measured it, but a rough measurement and guesstimate would be about 7000-7500 Sq ft. Plus, we have about 1000-1200 Sq Ft of Garden at Briden Farm. Combined it’s about 1/5 of an acre. All on ground that was worked up by our Pigs and Goats. Then tilled with a rear tine tiller, and planted by hand. 

Now the real work begins! Removing Rocks, Weeding, and Tilling and Hilling over 300’ of Potatoes. Then, later, it’ll be steaming the peas, and maybe the tomatoes. Although I’m thinking about replanting the tomatoes! I originally planted seeds, and should have used Seedlings. 

There are definitely some things that could be doing better! The cucumbers haven’t come up yet, so thinking I may have to replant those too! 

The things that seem to be coming along the best are, Potatoes, Onions, and Corn. Hopefully they continue to thrive. 

Any way you look at it, it’s a lot of work!

Smothered Steak, Rice, and Stewed Onions

Part of the fun at the farm is in the food we eat, it often comes from our farm, or garden, or one nearby and often has been harvested by us, or with friends, and isn’t that what fun is really all about!?

Recently we made, Fried Potatoes, Wild Field Mushrooms, and Steaks, and wrote about that, and now here we are showing off our Smothered Steak, Rice, and Stewed Onions! 

To make it we started with a frying pan on our wood stove and sprayed it with Cooking Spray, from Watkins, so it wouldn’t stick. Then we added the steak, and cut up onions over it, and added in a little water and a couple tablespoons of Watkins Chicken Soup and Gravy mix! Then simmered it, covered, till done.
