Yesterday, I was lucky enough to ride out to some Athens farms with Margie. When we passed that hay snowman above, I knew that we had to have a second Vegetable Husband Christmas card this year.
Our first visit was out to Mills Farm, where I got to see how Alice and Tim Mills make our corn grits and corn flower. I have to say, it blew my mind! Tim basically built the mill mechanism out of spare parts, and it mills the corn without a lick of electricity! Their donkey, Luke, runs their mill. Check out the mill in action:

Both of them are long-time Vegetable Husband customers who now deliver your weekly baskets. They shared a bit about why they’ve started delivering and what was local on their Thanksgiving tables!

Thanksgiving herbs! Have you ever seen so many herbs in one place?
Today, I got to follow Margie and the gang around while they organized all of your delicious Thanksgiving baskets. As you know, we do custom baskets for Thanksgiving.
