Living Green on Cloverleaf Farm

Fabric Explosion

2011-03-05T03:15:00.001-08:00

I sew a lot during the winter. Mostly clothes for my Victorian collection of clothes. This leaves me with several bags of scraps. I divide them up by colors, and put them aside for something. I never know what, but I know they'll come in handy for something. For some reason, I have the Depression Era mentality.
I was going through my fabric stash, and realized I could make a nice blanket as a gift for one of our neighbors. She is older, and is always cold. A nice warm lap quilt should do the trick. The best part of it is, she is my sewing buddy. She has taught me more things about sewing than I could ever learn elsewhere. She went to school for sewing back in the 1920's. Her knowledge is something I cherish.
The scraps are divided, and now I will cut them into squares to make the quilt. I know she will love it.

Cabin Fever

2011-03-05T03:01:00.001-08:00

Cabin fever has long set in. We are tired of snow. We are tired of white. We are elated on days where it warms up to the 40's because the snow starts to melt. Dripping can be a beautiful sound.
During the next few weeks, we will begin looking at the seed catalogs again, and actually get down to ordering them. Even though we save seeds, we still wind up buying some.
This year, we are trying a couple of new varities of tomatoes from Johnny's Selected Seeds. We like the looks and the description of the Striped Cavern, and the Japanese Black Trifele. With the Japanese Black Trifele, you can hollow them out like a bell pepper and make stuffed tomatotes. My mouth is watering as I think of all the delicious dishes, sauces and salsas that I can make using these tomatoes.

Herbal Baby Products

2011-02-25T08:25:00.000-08:00

Our products are natural, pure, and organic. We like it that way, and so do our customers.
We now have a line of all natural organic herbal baby products.

Autumn's Baby Products were created for our little granddaughter and your baby will love them too.

We use organic herbs, oils and essential oils and formulate them into the best natural baby products on Earth.

Natural Products With Vaseline?

2011-02-05T03:54:00.000-08:00

I have said this before, but I will say it again. Every product that says it is all natural, is not always completely natural.

Natural products are NOT created equal.
We are proud to formulate genuinely pure, 100 % all natural and organic products.

There are however, other companies and websites out there that are claiming to be all natural, and clearly aren't when it gets down to ALL the ingredients.

I am always surfing the internet for one thing or another. It bothers me when I come across a site that uses fragrance oils. Fragrance oils are not the least bit natural! Fragrance oils of any kind are chemically produced in a laboratory somewhere. There is no such thing as strawberry or lilac essential oil. If you find those in a "natural product", then the product isn't truly natural.

While doing research and keeping up to date with current herbal information, I an on the internet more often than I would like. Today, I came across a site, that was suppose to be selling a 100 % all natural acne cream. As I was reading down through the list of ingredients, I was horrified to see Vaseline at the bottom of the list. They actually use Vaseline as the base for their acne cream. Does this company actually believe that because crude oil comes from the Earth, that Vaseline is all natural? Vaseline is petroleum. Petroleum does not occur in nature! It is manufactured from crude oil! Do you really want to put that on your skin? Petroleum is not healthy for your skin.

It also gets my goat when people put the ingredients in their botanical name. I happen to know them, but the average person does not. It looks to me that they are trying to make their products look more mysterious than they really are. Example; the herbs apis cera, calendula officinalis, passiflora incarnarta, and rosa damascena. Those are the Latin botanical names for beeswax, calendula, passion flower, and rose. Why not just use the common names along with the Latin names, so people understand what they are putting on their skin?

When you buy from Cloverleaf Farm, you can be assured that all our products are 100% natural and organic!

We don't hide behind Latin,botanical names; we publish all ingredients in English.

We use only 100% pure organic essential oils to scent our products...no fragrance oils ever.

We are proud to be pure!

Winter Wonderland

2011-02-02T08:15:00.000-08:00

They are already calling it the Groundhog Day Blizzard. It is a white out of day...outside.
Inside, we are baking bread, and making home made soups. We still have fresh squash and pumpkins in our root cellar, so I decided to make a 3 squash soup for lunch. We eat soup a lot in the winter. We stock up on dried beans and peas in December for all sorts of wonderful bean soups...Five Bean (jacobs cattle, northern, lentil, black eyed, red, and white beans) and Triple Berry(spelt berry, wheat berry, and rye berry) are two of our favorites. Cooked on low in our own home made chicken stock makes a yummy, yummy soup.

Later this afternoon, we will be working on getting orders packaged up. We also have two new products that will be coming out soon. Elderflower Rose Day Cream will be available on Monday, and our 3 C's Herbal Healing Salve will be ready for delivery by the end of the month. Just a couple more weeks of the herbs steeping in the oils.

A Blend of Herbal Oils

2011-02-01T07:09:00.000-08:00

Winter is a bit slower here on the farm. Slower is good. Gives us time to develop new herbal healing products.
This winter, we have been working on Herbal Infused Oils. I took the left over dribbles and put them into a bottle. Carrier oils are a bit pricey, and not to be wasted. Here at Cloverleaf Farm, we waste nothing!
This time, we had a bit of Rose and Jasmine Herbal Infused Oil, a tad of Calendula Herbal infused Oil, and just a smidgen of the Lavender Infused oil left over. I put them into a small jar, and Michael has been using it on a rash on his face. Miraculously, the rash seems to be fading. I have been using it on the dry skin on my legs, and it is making them soft and smooth.
Our Herbal Infused Oils are marvellous. Give them a try.

Waste Not, Want Not

2011-01-26T11:18:00.000-08:00

Have you ever thought about how much you waste on a daily basis? How much trash do you have by the end of the day? How much electricity do you waste?
We have thought long and hard about these questions and so many more.
For example:

When you leave for work, what is your thermometer set at? It only needs to be set about 50. I know, you are thinking "Wow, that is way to cold". Actually, you only need enough heat to keep pipes from freezing. Why would you heat an empty house? Even with pets, they will snuggle up on the couch or bed, and be plenty warm enough. They do have fur coats.
When you go to bed at night, what do you set your thermometer at? Us, we set ours at 55, and put on an extra blanket. It is actually healthier to sleep in a cooler room than in a hot one.
How big is your fridge? Is it full, or is there alot of space? We have a 5 cubic foot fridge. That is basically the size of dorm fridge. We also have a chest freezer for meats, and veggies. We cook everything from scratch. An empty fridge makes that electric meter run wild.
On many evenings, we use candles and oil lamps. It is soft lighting, and makes for a nice, relaxing evening.
We have a "no electricity day". Usually on Sunday, our no electricity days means just that. No use of electricity, other than what is necessary. In our home, the only necessary electricity that is needed for fridge, freezer and well pump. It makes for a nice quiet day with family too.

We may not have it all perfect, but we save thousands of dollars a year on electric and heating bills.

Organic Heirloom Veggies Are The Best

2011-01-26T05:50:00.000-08:00

Cloverleaf Farm specializes in organic heirloom veggies.
Heirloom vegetables taste better, and are better for you. They are higher in vitamins and minerals than there hybrid counterparts in the grocery store. Heirlooms are not a hybrid, and retain their genetic make-up year after year.
Heirloom veggies are what our grandparents, and great grandparents grew. Our ancestors were of course seed savers, saving their seeds from season to season. This was a way to save money, and ensure that the seeds would live on for generations. With heirlooms, you can do this. With hybrids you can not.
If you take a seed from a Black Prince tomato and dry it out for next season, you will get more Black Prince tomatoes. If you were to do the same thing with the seeds from a grocery store tomato, you'll be lucky to get anything. They are not made to reproduce at all. If something does grow, it will not be the same variety as you ate last year.
Heirloom veggies are open air pollunated. This keeps the little neighborhood bees busy all summer long. They are much more eco friendly for the environment.
Heirloom veggies and fruits are a bit different looking than the "normal" veggies you see in the store, but their tastes far outway any odd looking character differences.
During the season, stop by and taste one of our tomatoes, or visit your local farmers market and ask for heirloom veggies. Once you taste an heirloom, there will be no going back.

Promote Organic Only

2009-06-24T05:04:00.001-07:00

I will not, and can not accept the Paul Parent Garden Club promoting the use of RoundUp.
I emailed him, Genesis Communications, and I will be calling the local radio station that airs his show. These "garden experts" have to stop pushing poisons to the general public. There are plenty of alternatives.
The following is the conversations I had with both Paul Parent and his wife Christine. I found them both to be both arrogant, and totally unprofessional. In my opinion, they need to go back to customer service 101 to learn how to deal with an unhappy customer. It is also my opininon, that given the fact that they had to defend themselves so strongly, they must know deep down that they are wrong in promoting RoundUp.

This is the response I receive back from Mrs. Christine Parent:How dare you want to boycott my husband’s radio show. How would you like it if I put on our web site that the entire gardening world should boycott your products. Most of the products that we have for sponsors are completely organic. Only a few are not. You can not teach the world over night to go organic, it takes time and we have been working on it for the last 5 years. Round up is the safest weed killer for the homeowner and breaks down in the soils in 7 to 10 days by the microbs in the soil, no other weed killer works this way. If you know of an organic week killer that will do the job let us know and we will promote it.

Now, if this is the way she handles dissatisfied customers, then she needs to go back to cutomer relations 101 . This only incited me to blog more about it.

I then received an email from Paul Parent himself:
Apparently, you do not listen very often to the program! Most of my sponsors are natural or organic and we work very hard to find companies who have earth friendly products for the garden. Many companies have both and that is the gardener choice, NOT YOURS. A company like Scotts works very hard to make sure that there product are used wisely. The chemical industry spends many years of testing before products are released to the public. You may not know this but Scotts has many organic products for the homeowner.
Like you, some people take the extreme and want changes overnight, It’s not possible. If you were a Farmer living on the soil, you would know that without chemicals the world would not exist without them. There is not enough Manure to feed the soil for every farm in the world.
The situation you heard part of ‘only’, was in reference to a man whose field was being overtaken by Multiflora roses. This plant is very aggressive and each plant can cover a 6 by 6 foot area of ground in just one year. Thousands of seed are made yearly that are ejected in to the air and the wind can carry them several yards from the mother. In addition, seedpods are eaten by the birds in the fall and dispensed everywhere they land with their package of Manure. Perfect for seed germination. Farmers who have this problem will lose their field to animal grazing in just a few years if not controlled. The average Farmer does not have time to hand dig problem weed growth by hand, as you do.

If you want to keep your farm organic, that is wonderful but do not tell people how they must garden. Not everyone has so much spare time as you, to pull weed from the garden by hand. To pick insects that find there way to the plants on your property and control disease by removing the infested foliage or removing the plant, As you do. With proper management of garden chemicals, everyone can lessened there use. But not everyone has your time available.

Now, of all weed killers Round up is one of the safest as it only affects plants when entering from the foliage. It cannot kill plants from the roots/soil. Also Round up will die in the soil from the bacteria and the rays of the sun hitting it in as quickly as 14 days. Used according to directions it is as safe to this planet as the soap YOU use to wash your clothing and dishes. The products You use to clean your house and the gas you ask your clients to use to come see what you grow, “gas fumes”. The packaging used for your product and the shipping to deliver them, You pollute with your business even if you know it or not. We all do the best we can for this planet. Some more than others.

I have been working in Agriculture for over 25 years and have 2 degrees from University of Massachusetts. I know the problems better that you ever will. I do the best to keep gardening safe for all gardeners as my listeners are like family to me. Every year I work HARD to find a better product for my Family. Believe it or not I am here to stay and educate gardeners about products Organic, Natural and YES chemical! There is a place for them whether you like it or not. So get off your High horse, get your head out of the ground and learn to do the best for Mother Nature and that means with chemicals when needed.

If you think I am wrong call me. Do not let you feelings about the planet be the right way and the only way. In this country we are all allowed to have our opinion, right or wrong. We both try to do the right thing for the gardener.

All the best to stay organic. The more power to you if you can. But do not force your beliefs to others, give them a choice as I do.
My response:
Mr. Parent,

After reading both your email, and the one sent by your wife, I realize I have made the right decision in boycotting your show. You are both unprofessional, and arrogant to say the least. Instead of putting out the fire, you have fanned the flames.
You both will obviously never understand. Perhaps because you are getting funding from Scotts, or maybe you just can’t open your eyes. It is just common sense to know that if you put a chemical in the soil, you will at some point wind up putting it into your mouth. Doesn’t take a degree to figure that one out.
Please take the time to watch “The Future of Food” http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food and possibly you may understand.

Boycott Paul Parent Garden Club

2009-06-22T19:45:00.001-07:00

Garden “experts” such as Paul Parent Garden Club, should NOT be promoting poisonous products to the public. On his radio show, The Paul Parent Garden Club, he promotes using Round Up. Round Up is made by Monsanto, a company who has is trying to take over the seed industry. If Monsanto has their way, we will not be able to seed save and grow our own food. Monsanto wants to own it all. Please watch http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food for more information on Monsanto, and how they are poisoning our planet.
The point being is that Paul Parent, and other “gardening experts”, should know how important it is to grow organically. Everything is best grow organic. From our lawn to our veggies. This earth does not need poisons spread on it like Round Up.
As long as Paul Parent Garden Club promotes the use of poisons such as Round Up, I say we should stop listening to him and his radio show. Boycott the poison pushers, just like you would a drug pusher.For more information, please visit www.hulu.com, and watch The Future of Food http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food.

Herbal Healing with Calendula

2009-05-27T07:02:00.000-07:00

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is one of my favorite herbs. It can be used in so many ways.
I love it as a tea for digestive and stomach complaints, but my favorite use in in salves and balms. It has wonderful antifungal, antibacterial properites which makes it a great companion for the gardener.
Every year, I am bound and determined to get a rash of some sort or the other. When I do, I reach for calendula. I put some into a cheese cloth, add some oatmeal, lavender, plantain and other healing herbs and soak my skin back to health. After my bath, I put on some calendula skin ointment. My skin is now soft, smooth and itchy free.
I enjoy using natural ways to heal my body, mind and soul.

Using Lemon Balm For Herbal Healing

2009-05-17T07:49:00.001-07:00

Lemon Balm has been used medicinally since the Middle Ages. It is has been used to relieve anxiety, stress and tension since that time and is still used today for those same illnesses.Lemon Balm helps heal naturally.Lemon Balm is used most often as a medicinal herbal tea. It is also used in herbal and medicincal body care products. Lemon Balm can also be used in an extract or tincture form. Our biggest seller is Lemon Balm Ointment followed by Lemon Balm Oil.
Anxiety And Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is a wonderful nerve tonic. It is good on it's own for anxiety and stress, but can also be used in combination with other calming herbs such as valerian, catnip, lavender, or passionflower. When using valerian, you should not use any other sleep inducing medication such as valium.
For anxiety Lemon Balm is either given in tea or tincture. A tincture is a concentrated herbal medicine that is made with alcohol. The alcohol draws in the medicinal properties of the lemon balm as it is being made, and is a good way to take herbal medicine. You can easily dissipate the alcohol by letting it sit in warm water for a few minutes. This works well for people who have a sensitivity to alcohol, or don't want to use products with alcohol in them.
If a tincture does not suit you, you can certainly use lemon balm as a tea. The usual dosage for a cup of herbal tea is 1 tablespoon per one cup (coffee cup) of water. Pour hot water over the herb in the cup. Cover with plate to allow the essential oils of the lemon balm to stay in the cup. Strain after 10-15 minutes. Sit back, drink, and enjoy. It is best to take 3-4 cups per day for 2 weeks to allow the lemon balm to take effect.
Herpes / Cold Sores
In studies, lemon balm has been shown to have polyphenols. The polyphenols give lemon balm fantastic antiviral actions. In particular, they help to combat and heal cold sores due to the herpes simples virus (HSV). Applied to the affected area, lemon balm helps heal cold the sores in about 3-5 days. It also helps double the time between outbreaks.
Lemon balm that is used on herpes cold sores is usually found in either an oil or an ointment. The leaves of the plant are steeped in a carrier oil (such as almond, apricot, or olive) for 4-6 weeks. The oil absorbs the medicinal actions of the lemon balm. It is then strained and either used as lemon balm oil or ointment. It is a popular herbal ointment for herpes.
Lemon balm is also useful on chicken pox and shingles. Both chicken pox and shingles are the same virus as herpes. Used topically, lemon balm will help heal the sores of chicken pox and shingles much quicker than on their own.
Flu with Muscle Aches and Pains
Due to its antispasmodic and relaxant actions lemon balm can come in quite handy when a flu hits with muscle aches and pains. It will help relax the body, and the antispasmodic action will help with any muscular spasms. Lemon balm increases sweating, and could help in the case of a fever. By making the body sweat, the toxins are driven out of the body through the pores. It can be used at the first sign of flu for best results.

The Future of Food is NOT Genetically Altered

2009-05-07T08:29:00.000-07:00

The documentary I just watched sure showed me why we grow our own food. I know where my food comes from. After watching this, the little "groceries" that we do buy are now in question. When we do buy groceries, we choose organic and natural. I am hoping that this means that we are not getting Genetically Modified (GM) foods. Now, I am questioning this.
We buy all natural organic peanut butter. Does this mean that my peanut butter is safe from GM practices. We don't know because in the United States, it is not required to be put on the label. In Europe, it is the law. In Europe, food companies are required to put the list of ingredients on their packaging. If any of the ingredients are GM, they are required by law to say so.
So, why doesn't the United States take up the same practice? This has been a question in my mine since watching the documentary The Future of Food on hulu.com.
It would be in everyone's best interest to watch this documentary.
This is why Living Green is best!

Recycling Plastic Plant Pots

2009-05-03T13:16:00.000-07:00

We here at Cloverleaf Farm grow all our crops from seeds. I have and need a gazillion pots. They are plastic pots, but I have not bought one of them. I take them from friends and neighbors who buy their annuals every year. I have been using the same pots now for years. Each year, I clean them up, and use them to start my seedlings.
Each year, they buy their annuals and I get new pots. The ones I don't use, I pass on to be recycled by someone who can use them.
Recycling is so important so that these plastic plant pots don't end up in the landfill before their time. Sooner or later they are bound to crack, break or rip apart, but until then, why not make good use of them.
You can use them for so may things. Out in the garden is only one area to use them. You can also use them to store paint brushes, markers, or crayons for kids. I use some in the house for odds and ends to keep track of.
There is endless possibilities. What ideas do you have to recycle plastic plant pots?

Cooking From Scratch

2009-04-24T05:29:00.000-07:00

Cooking from scratch doesn't sound very green, but it really is. If you are cooking from scratch, you are buying less packaged food.
Take for example baking bread. If you bake your own bread, instead of buying it in plastic wrapped packages, you are saving the environment one plastic bag a week from going into the landfill. I bake bread once or twice a week. I buy the organic flour and other organic ingredients in bulk so that there is less packaging going to our landfill.
By buying in bulk, and cooking meals from scratch it cuts down on the amount of garbage going into landfills across the country.
I know, you are reading this and saying "but I don't have time to cook from scratch". Yes you do. It really doesn't take that much longer to buy fresh, local produce and cook up a nice pot of hearty soup or stew. Think about how good that would taste over some canned soup in your cupboard.

Earth Day

2009-04-22T06:22:00.000-07:00

Today is the 39th anniversary of Earth Day. Earth Day was created to inspire awareness and appreciation our planet and Earth's environment. It was originally founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970.
Earth Day is an important day to our planet.
We at Cloverleaf Farm think that Earth Day should be practiced every day.
We are.
We made the decision along time ago to buy only products that are Earth Friendy. Now we are stepping it up a notch.
We already recycle, but realized this isn't enough. The plastic water bottles have long disappeared from our lives, but there are so many other products that are marketed in plastic. We don't want to be part of the problem, we want to be part of the solution. So, we have decided to stop buying products that are packaged in plastic as much as possible. This is a tough assignment, but if you look around, there are other options to many products. For example, you can buy lemon juice in a plastic bottle, or go to a natural food store and get it in a glass bottle. It may cost more in the bottle, and Cloverleaf Farm feels the future of our Earth is worth it.
Today in honor of Earth Day 2009, we will plant an Austrian Pine tree. It may be just a small step in making this a better planet, but it is a step just the same.

Recyling the Recycled

2009-04-20T13:31:00.000-07:00

What is better than recycling? Recycling the already recycled.
This is a practice that we started while living in Conway, and could frequent the Dump Store. The Dump Store is a shed that unwanted, but usable items get put for further use. We have saved many an item from that store. We also have saved many an antique from the wood pile. Imagine, throwing away a 1940's armoire onto a heap of wood like it was trash. I took it home, fixed it up, and used it as an entertainment unit. We have also gotten bureau's, tables, sewing machine, and lots more.
We have been know to stop by the road when a free sign is out too. We picked up a set of dinning room chairs from the late 1800's at one of these free for all. This too is where I got my eliptical machine. The chairs needed some TLC, but I cleaned them up and they now have a home.
You wouldn't believe the things people throw out. It is actually a shame. If you are done using it, pass it on to someone else.
Always remember to recyle the recyled.

Recycling

2009-04-05T05:10:00.000-07:00

The U.S has become a throw away society. If it breaks you throw it away. If it is outdated, it's tossed in the dump. How sad to think of all the things going into our landfills could be used by someone else.
Cloverleaf Farm recycles everything. We use and reuse everything. If something will have a purpose anywhere on the farm, it goes into the barn. Unless it will serve us no future purpose, it gets stored for a new life.
Jars store nails, screw, nuts and bolts.
Yogurt containers are saved to use as scoops in the animal feed.
Old clothes become rags for cleaning.
Old boards become fences for the pigs.
Now granted, there are some things that we can't recycle. Those go to the dump in the appropriate bin. For things that break that we can't fix, they go to the dump in the reuse pile for someone else to take.
We add less to the dump, which helps us all.

Composting

2009-03-15T07:21:00.000-07:00

We use composting in our gardens every year. It adds essential minerals and nutrients back into the soil. Growing food depletes the soil, and you have to add back to the earth what is taken out.
We compost all our kitchen scraps like onion peels, potato peels, coffee grounds, tea scraps among others. We keep an old speckle ware pot next to the stove. This way it is covered, and convenient to use. When it is full, we plop it out in the garden. In the spring it will be plowed in as we till the soil.
We also add manure to the soil. We use horse manure, because we have a neighbor who gives it to us. Some people swear by cow manure, but around here it costs more than loam. Not cost effective. You just have to let the horse manure sit for a year or more, and its fine.
Composting gives back to the earth what we take out.

Living Green in Today's World

2009-03-03T16:39:00.000-08:00

Living green is easy if you really put your mind to it.
Here at Cloverleaf Farm, we live as green and eco friendly as we can.
Recycling is an easy way to start. We recycle everything. Jars, bottle, and cans. And when I say recycle, I mean either putting them in the recycle bin, or using them again and again until we can't find a use for them anymore.
We recycle clothes, housewares, and furniture.
We feel the world is a wasteful place, and we don't want to be a part of it. People today have to much "stuff", and they really don't need it. They may want it, but they don't need it.
I hate to toss anything, when it might have a use someday. The barn and attic are proof of that. I have been glad I saved that screaming yellow fabric from the 1970's. It came in handy when I had to make a flag for the shop. Many told me to toss it out, but I just couldn't.
It ain't always easy living green, but it sure is satisfying.
