Woodworking Wednesday — Farm Stand — Part 1

IMG_8659 2.JPG

I am about to build a farm stand for all our excess eggs and produce. I have been searching the internet and Pinterest to find some plans that we like.

These are my favorites…

We really need a cooler or a specific spot for eggs. We have duck and chicken eggs. It would be nice to have a spot for both. We tried delivering them once a week but that got away from us.

We need a top and some shelves underneath. I would really like the shelves to be slanted so you can see what’s in the baskets. We have a ton of baskets already.

I would also like it to be covered and portable. I want a big sign that says WEEKEND FARM STAND and/or EMORY FARM.

Here are some actual plans we have found so far…

If y’all have any ideas or have any experience in this area please leave a comment!  How did your produce stand go?  Do you have plans for one?

Natural Night — Fermented Foods —

Fermented foods are all the rage these days. If you haven’t noticed them yet, after reading this blog post you’ll be noticing them everywhere. In fact, food bloggers predicted that fermented foods would be the number one food trend for 2018. Funny- because when I think of ‘trends’ I often think of new, fresh ideas […]

Woodworking Wednesday — DIY Benchwright coffee table with double-sided drawers — Home on 129 acres

The Benchwright coffee table from Ana White (originally by Pottery Barn) has been on my wishlist ever since we moved to the farm.
