From seed to spice… this is the part of farm life that never gets old. Lane’s “look here, lookie here!” cracked me up, but he was right to be excited — these homegrown peppers turned into something BombDiggity! 🌶️ We sliced them, dried them low and slow, and ground them into a gorgeous, smoky heat that’s now tucked inside my antique Ball jar. It’s one of the ingredients in our Spicy Farm Blend, and mercy… it brings every dish to life. #countrylivingconnoisseur #peppers #farmingafter50 #fromthefarmkitchen #gardentotable

Some of the sweetest reminders of God’s goodness show up in the quiet, everyday moments—like Lane pausing this morning just to listen to the goats enjoy their hay. Colossians 3:16 calls us to cultivate thankfulness, and this week’s #FarmSunday devotional leans into what that really means.

Winter prep is in full swing around here, and everyone is getting a fresh layer of straw—goats, pigs, chickens, and even the donkeys in their cozy barn. We believe in setting every animal up for success, warmth, and comfort, especially when the temperatures dip. And yes… Lane’s right… no wonder our overhead is so high. 😂 But seeing everyone snuggle in? Worth every flake. #farmingafter50 #countrylivingconnoisseur #sweetbombdiggityfarms #farmlife #winterprep

We put together our favorite “recipe for gratitude” as a little reminder that thankfulness doesn’t have to be fancy to be meaningful. It just has to be real. Wishing you a joyful, restful, heart-full Thanksgiving from Sweet BombDiggity Farms. #CountryLivingConnoisseur #FarmingAfter50 #SweetBombDiggityFarms #DesignALifeYouLove
Recipe for Gratefulness: Happy Thanksgiving from Sweet BombDiggity Farms!
If you only make one homemade cranberry sauce this Thanksgiving, let it be this one. Real cranberries, apricot jam, bright citrus, and that glossy, jammy finish everyone ends up eating with a spoon. This is the cranberry sauce they beg for… and it’s so simple. CRANBERRY–APRICOT SAUCE One 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries About 1/2 cup apricot jam Small splash of orange juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice Zest from half a lemon 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey Pinch of cinnamon Tiny pinch of salt Splash of vanilla One strip of orange peel Pour the cranberries into a saucepan and add the apricot jam and a splash of orange juice. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and the orange peel. Let it simmer over medium heat until the berries pop and everything gets thick and glossy. Cool it and it sets beautifully. Make it now, serve it on Thursday… and then spoon the leftovers over cream cheese with crackers any ole time. Cranberry sauce they beg for? Now that’s BombDiggity. #CountryLivingConnoisseur #SweetBombDiggityFarms #FarmingAfter50 #ThanksgivingRecipes #CranberrySauce

Amaryllis planting tips for you! ✅ Choose large, healthy bulbs. Mine are from DutchGrown.com, but your local nursery is a great place to hand-pick good ones. ✅ I plant mine in a large, deeper container because I like the garden-style look, but you can plant single bulbs too. Deep vases or vessels help support those tall stems. ✅ Plant bulbs close together and bury only the bottom half in potting soil. ✅ Amaryllis rot easily, so water lightly and let the soil dry between waterings. Never let them sit in standing water. ✅ Give them a bright, indirect light spot indoors and turn the container every so often so they grow straight. ✅ Expect blooms in 6–8 weeks, which is why I love planting now—they’re perfect for that quiet stretch after Christmas. #countrylivingconnoisseur #farmingafter50 #amaryllis #winterblooms #gardentips @Dutchgrown
Tips for growing gorgeous indoor amaryllis this winter
Last night, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to give our sweet Dessie peace. Many of you have followed her journey since early July, when we found her in our horse field—frightened, emaciated, covered in mange, dehydrated, and fighting infections from head to toe. She was barely hanging on. We took her in immediately and spent the last several months helping her heal, day by day. And oh, did she come back to life. She found joy. She trusted people again. She adored her buddy Duke. She ran, she played, she rested in safety. She was truly happy. In the last few days, Dessie somehow ingested a foreign object that caused a severe internal blockage. We rushed her to UT Medical’s emergency hospital, but they could only evaluate her. She was in extremely dire condition and in significant pain, and there were simply no real options that would have brought her comfort or saved her. Early this morning, Lane and I stayed right by her side. I held her as she drifted to sleep, and she passed peacefully and without fear. Our hearts are broken. The whole farm is heartbroken. And Duke is especially missing his girl today. Dessie’s story is a reminder of why our 501(c)(3) matters so much—the need for emergency care, the need for access, the need for a safety net for animals who don’t have one. Even with a fund, this particular situation may not have changed. But the fact that she couldn’t access the care she needed in time is something that weighs heavily on us. Rehabilitating animals is not for wimps. Sometimes you win… sometimes you don’t. But it is always worth it. The compassion it teaches, the love it gives back, and the way these animals change you—it’s hard to explain unless you’ve lived it. Dessie gave us everything she had. She was loved right up to her final breath, and she will remain a part of Sweet Bombdiggity Farms forever. Rest in peace, sweet girl. You were so deeply loved. 🌈 🧡 #bloodhound #countrylivingconnoisseur #farmingafter50 #animalrescue #dogloss
