Many people have noticed amazing benefits with essential oils. I sure have. They are unique in that they can cross the cellular membrane because their molecules are so small, which is pretty amazing.

Natural Yeast DONUTS!
Is it donut or doughnut? Well, I'm pretty sure the deliciousness of donuts deserves two names anyway. One of the best things about baking with natural yeast (or sourdough, or wild yeast -- they're all the same thing) is that the dough does AWESOME when frying!

The Kind Diet: Is eating VEGAN the only way to be truly kind?
People often ask me why I chose farming. For some reason they take a look at this small frame of mine and can't imagine this chick has the guts to work on a farm.
