    Turkey tussle, anyone?

    Note: I wrote this post last Sunday but didn’t have a chance to post it when I arrived in Florida. The picture below is of Joe and his cousin, Audree, not too long after we checked into our resort. 🙂 As I write this, I am traveling to the Florida…

    Easter Egg Traditions and Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

    March 25, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Are you ready for spring? I am – with a double exclamation point!! The calendar certainly indicates it is spring but in Minnesota, this always takes a little longer than we’d like here in the North Country. In the meantime, I’ve been getting into a spring mood by ordering from…

    A silly selfie before we all go to bed … another Wednesday done and in the books, another step closer to the things we’re looking forward to: Me – My convention (the Midwest Poultry Federation Convention) and, immediately following, recovery and relaxation on our spring break vacation in the Florida…

    Don’t Fear Your Food: Antibiotic Use on the Farm

    February 25, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been a while since I’ve shared/written a post strictly about poultry farming – I have many agriculture-related blog posts floating around in my head but not as much time right now to get them all written. Some day. In the meantime, my farm blogger friend, Katie, from On the…
