Join Us

The Kitchens Garden and its farm and its blog have combined to become more than a blog  and a farm and a garden. We have become a community. We call that community the Fellowship of the Farmy and I would love you to join us and become part of our daily conversation.

In the age of social media and “sharing” there are a couple of ways you can join our movement towards clean food and strong bodies.

You can join the blog. I post every day at dawn telling you all about yesterday, then I return after milking the cow and doing the chores to talk to The Fellowship in the Lounge of Comments with my morning cup of coffee. This is my treat before I go back outside to get busy on the work of the day. So you, my dear reader, are very important to me and my day.

 

If you would like to join the Facebook page go here: FACEBOOK

If you would like to join me on Twitter (mostly I Tweet the blog) go here: TWITTER

If you would like to join me on Pinterest (where I try to post my favourite picture of the day  – and other weird stuff) go here: PINTEREST.

And now The Farmy is on INSTAGRAM – find me at cecilia_thekitchensgarden.

And most recently I have another INSTAGRAM page for my AirBnB studio apartment called Kitchens Garden Retreat. The instagram page is called kitchensgardenretreat. The retreat is open so if you would like a break on the farm just go ahead and find a date that suits.

Find The Kitchens Garden Retreat on airbnb – HERE.

Thank you so very much for joining me on my quest to grow good clean food and spread the word on how easy it really is to lead the best life you can lead and grow and eat the best food we can afford. Creating our own tiny food revolution.  The epitome of grass roots!

Take care.

Your friend on the farmy,

celi

PS. When you sign up (or even if you have been signed up for ages) it might be fun for you to introduce yourself in the comments below. Only if you feel like it though… there is NO PRESSURE in the blog world. I would especially love to know where you come from (just the state or country) we have such a gorgeous range of peoples from different places.

  1. My hubby and I live on 10 acres a mile from the city limits of a small town in southeast Kansas, tornado alley. I’ve been reading your blog for a long time though only chime in occasionally. It is the first blog I read every day – love seeing pictures of and reading about your animals. I grew up on a farm with cows and chickens but we only have cats and a dog now. I do most of the yard work including flower gardens and a few vegetables so enjoy that part of your blog too. It’s interesting to see where others in the fellowship live/work and to see that I am not the only one from Kansas.

  2. Hello from Carlinville, Illinois…….I’m practically your neighbor, Celi. 🙂 I’ve been reading your blog for several years after I found you on the “Octoberfarm” blogsite. My day isn’t complete until I’ve virtually visited The Farmy!!

  3. My morning ritual is a cup of coffee and reading TheKitchensGarden. I grew up in rural southern Ohio and the weather and the farm is in my blood, even though I now live in the arid regions of central Australia. Many a tear has reached the rim of my eye, and heart has lept with joy from this blog. xxx

  4. I’m a retired New Mexico State employee living in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of Santa Fe. I’ve been a lurker for quite a while and enjoy reading about the farm and the comments from the neighborhood. I’m an Army brat and have lived all over so some of the comments bring back fond memories from those places. Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Germany, Arizona, Florida, Virginia, Texas and New Mexico.

  5. Greetings from Gig Harbor, Washington~state! I too am a long time follower of the Farmy and the one who calls Cecilia (Cinders) because of one of her blog posts a very long time ago that reminded me of Cinderella…the way she raced back to the Farmy from a wedding in all of her fancy clothes to check on everyone, changing, then racing back!…Cinders, I think you should re-post that one! 🙂
    I am originally from the great state of Michigan but migrated here to the beautiful Northwest in 1978. I have 2 wiener dogs, 2 cats, 2 goats, 2 sons and one husband! 🙂
    And I also can’t start my day without reading The Kitchens Garden blog! I feel as if I know Cinders like an old, longtime, beloved friend!

  6. I’ve been following and enjoying your blog for years…and making your bangles! I am a farmer/jewelry artist living in Rowley Massachusetts, a small town on the East Coast, north of Boston. In the summer I farm, and in the cold months I teach metalsmithing and stone setting, and sell my work at local galleries. I am fortunate to live on a large piece of land that was my husband’s family farm. Formerly 300 acres, we now have about 90, mostly woodlands. Our three grandchildren are the 7th generation of this family. About 5 years ago, my two sons, their wives and my husband began restoring the farm, growing and selling vegetables anything else we can produce on our farm, and trying to keep this farm a real working farm in an area where real estate gets snapped up and developed quickly. We are right in the middle of our busy season right now, planting and working in the greenhouses. That is why you don’t hear from me very much, but I’m always peeking in on what’s happening on the Farmy. Thanks for your faithful persistence and your wonderful way with words! You are my hero!

  7. Hi Celi, I’ve been following you for about a year. I believe it was a recipe search that brought me to your site and I fell in love with your stories and photos! Chiming in from Bend, in beautiful Central Oregon.

  8. Like many others, reading your blog is an important part of my day. Your world is so different to mine. No snow, milking of cows, raising pigs or capturing minks in my little garden in inner suburban Melbourne, Australia. So that is one aspect that I love to read about, and you write so beautifully. But I also love to read about your love of your land, your care of your animals, and your friendship and support for everyone, both viral and in your real world.

  9. Hello Celi, another devoted follower as well as a resting blogger. Yours is my first stop in the day, and I read it not just for Boo and Tima and Marmalade and Sheila and all the rest of the creatures, but for the love in it… thank you.
    I love in a tiny fishing village of just over four hundred people an hour from Auckland, NZ’s main city. Our weather is temperate and changeable, but never too cold not to do an hour’s walk around our tiny beautiful harbour where the fishing boats anchor.

  10. I’m a backyard gardener (who knows, maybe someday the front yard will get my treatment, too!) in Raleigh, NC. I have two dogs and foster others for the local shelter on occasion. I love your blog!

  11. I’m a novelist and writing teacher in Portland, Oregon. Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I read your daily post before I do my daily writing! Love reading about your life on the farmy.

  12. Hi Celi, I live in Levin, Horowhenua, New Zealand. I found your wonderful blog just this year and I read it everyday. It’s really choice! I love the kiwiness you bring to your farmy, makes me smile 🙂 So now I’m a follower, cheers bro!

  13. Greetings from the Heart of Iowa (Marshalltown) where my family’s Century farm still produces (alas, not with the help of my own family any more). I love hearing about all the natural, sustainable methods you use, Celi, and your philosophy of nurturing and health. I also love the cant your New Zealander viewpoint brings. Fresh, passionate, real. I’m a fan.
