Buhl, Idaho sits on the rim of the Snake River Canyon, planted in the volcanic soil that covers the surrounding farmland. Cloverleaf Creamery sits in the middle of Buhl, churning the best ice cream in the state. In a recent blog post, while loving the ice cream, I dissed Buhl. I am sorry, I now … Continue reading

A Visit to Upper Rogue Organics
Every great once and a while, a farmer gets off the farm. About as far off the farm as I dare get is onto to someone else’s farm. So when Katie and I took off out of town, in early November, we headed straight for Upper Rogue Organics. Upper Rogue is a small 10 acre … Continue reading
Farmer Marty Visits Pig Village
During the blazing glory of summer, the veggie farmer is as busy as a wild dog. Free from the confines of the fence, the dog sniffs as much of the outside world as possible, knowing that freedom is only fleeting and adventure must be seized before capture and imminent imprisonment!

It was actually better the first time, burned a bit on the bottom this time, so be sure not … Continue reading

You missed out, but … Continue reading

The Eagle scouts have really out done themselves on the picnic area around the vistor’s center. The big attraction at Celebration Park is the atlatl range and the petroglyphs. Highly recommend calling the park to find out when the … Continue reading
Cloverleaf Creamery
I can’t say as I would recommend a trip to Buhl, Idaho. So much first class farmland wasted on feed corn makes a vegetable farmer shake his head in disgust. All this to feed cows confined to shit filled pens waiting for slaughter or heifers (udders in the shit) needing to be milked. No wonder … Continue reading
Road Food
We love road trips. Mountains, desert, hot springs, or canyon, we love exploring the great state of Idaho. Experience has taught us, though, that a good meal can be hard to come by in some of Idaho’s more rural areas. After searching for quality restaurant meals in locations such as Cascade, Mountain Home, and Idaho … Continue reading
