Here’s a fun craft to do with the kiddos during the Easter holiday! Make several to decorate the house for holiday festivities.

You’ll need:
Colorful paper (kiddos can pick their favorites)
Ruler
Pencil
Scissors/children-safe scissors
Easter Egg template

To make:
Use the template to cut out your egg shape. Using the ruler, mark lines an inch apart. Using the scissors, cut along the lines. Next, cut several 1/2 inch wide strips of colorful paper. Weave the strips of paper into the egg shape.

We look forward to seeing y’all here at the farm for loads of Easter fun!

This recipe will come in handy during our summer season when blueberries are plentiful! These delicious muffins are great for easy breakfasts on school days or a quick pick-me-up during the work day.

You’ll need:

• Jumbo muffin tin or regular muffin tin
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/14 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups fresh blackberries (if you’re using frozen, make sure you defrost them)

To make:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
• Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and milk.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Stir into the wet mixture.
• In a small bowl, lightly mush half your berries and stir them into the batter.
• Fold in remaining berries. The batter will be thick so you don’t have to worry about the berries sinking to the bottom during baking.
• You can use liners or simply spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
• Fill muffin tins leaving 1/3 room in the cups so muffins can rise.
• Reduce oven heat to 375 and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes (starting the oven at higher heat gives you a higher muffin top and lowering the heat will prevent your muffins from drying out).
• Remove muffins and allow to cool for about 20 minutes.

The holidays are a great time to gather up the kiddos and make fun Christmas crafts. The great thing about this particular project is that one of the supplies is abundant in most households: empty toilet paper tubes.

You’ll need:
Scissors
Pencil
Paint and brushes
Glitter, puffballs, sequins, or whatever glitzy doodads your heart desires
Empty toilet paper tubes

To make:
Using the pencil, draw out the shape of tree you’d like, make sure that the points of your tree meet at the side. Leave enough room at the bottom for a base.

Carefully cut along the lines (parents can do this for the real little ones). Once your tree is cut out, paint the trees whatever color you or your little ones like. Washable acrylic paint is great for clothes and table tops. 

Once the pain dries, decorate your trees with pain, glitter, stickers, etc. The kids can even stick a photo of themselves on the tree as a cute gift to the grandparents!

Strawberry season is short, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy these farm-fresh fruits all year long. Follow these steps to properly freeze strawberries!

You’ll need:
4-6 lbs fresh strawberries
Half baker sheets (fit best in most freezers)
Parchment paper
Paring knife

To freeze:
Gently wash berries under tap water. If berries are mushy or damaged, remove them.
Spread your berries out on a towel and allow them to air dry.
Using your paring knife, hull the berries by removing the stem and the bit underneath. You can also just slice the top of the berry off, but you get more of the fruit with hulling.
Line baker sheets with parchment paper and freeze the berries overnight.
When completely frozen, put berries in heavy duty freezer bags and label with the date.
Frozen strawberries will last up to one year.
