Are we all farmers? Well, I don’t know. It’s an interesting question. When I was a child I either wanted to be an actor or a farmer. My professional career was not as an “actor” but it was primarily as a performer. And then that led to the production side of performing with my move to executive events and managing speakers and show rooms. But…
About 35 years ago, I got a really narrow little house with an even more-narrow strip of land. That little strip was on the hot, “afternoon sun” side of the house. And it really baked. And I couldn’t help myself, I had to plant food! So I started with tomatoes. But the dirt was hard and compacted and really not that inviting for tender vegetable-plant roots. So…
I created my first raised bed – two actually, side by side. The next year, I added a third. At the start I didn’t really understand dirt. What I mean by that is that I didn’t understand the nutrients that the dirt needed to offer up through the roots of the plants. My early knowledge was pretty darn basic and it stayed that way for the six or seven years I worked that strip of land while owning that house.
By the time I moved I actually had three cherry trees in that little strip. They made cherries, but they also made shade, which I believe brought coolness to the house on that sun-drenched side. Two things: the birds got all the cherries, and the new owner took the trees out. The strip was only five feet wide and the cherry trees had grown to thirty. I may have chosen the wrong trees for the space.

So back to the question: are we all farmers? I think we can be – and perhaps should be – in one way or another. So in this issue, in addition to looking at “Creating Your Own Backyard ‘Farm’” and “Home Canning 101,” we will also look at “Two Excellent Salsa Recipes” you might want to try making this summer. The beauty of course is that you don’t actually have to grow all the ingredients for the salsas – you can just pick them up at a Farm Store or Farmer’s Market.
And because this is our Farmer and Farmer’s Market issue, in addition to showcasing the advertisements of many of our regional farms with their Farm Stores and so forth, we also take a look at “How Farmers Connect with Us” today. In most cases that now means using social media and other technology. That is an innovation of the pandemic era that is here to stay. This article also provides you with a list of many of our local Farm Stores and Farmer’s Markets.
And then bringing in a story from “left field” we look at how to survive tornadoes. Why? Because that term “Tornado Alley” doesn’t mean quite
what it used to. There is evidence that it is shifting east. Be sure and read “Tornado Alley: Shifting East?” for important information.
So that’s our issue. We hope you find it interesting and we hope you will join us next time when our focus will shift to summer fun and Father’s Day. See you then!

Without a doubt, how farmers connect with us has changed since the start of 2020. The unforeseen disruptions from the pandemic abruptly shifted consumer demand to locally grown meat, poultry and produce and forced many agriculture producers to rethink how they connect with consumers.
Although quite a few farms in our region already had farm stores, others did not. So since the start of 2020, our region has gained new farm stores,
32 S Main St., Bangor, PA. 18013
(484) 837-6134
as well as enhancements to stores that were already in place. One tool farmers have embraced to reach consumers is technology and that is here to stay.
Social media platforms / Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have become increasingly popular for farmers to stay in touch with consumers who are searching for local farms in their area. While farmers have been updating their social media profiles with lists of produce available for purchase, ranchers have collaborated with local butchers to directly connect with consumers.
One innovation has been to use social media messaging systems to receive orders directly through farm profiles. Online forms have also helped farmers keep up with demand, track inventory, and fill orders.
Community-supported agriculture (CSA) / CSAs are on the rise and likely to remain a key tool for farmers. This type of business model involves consumers purchasing shares of a farm’s total production throughout the growing season.
Generally a CSA is paid for in full at the start of the season with the cost of each share helping to fund the farmer’s operational expenses.
The consumer subscriptions also guarantee a customer base for local farmers’ diverse selection of crops. Consumer CSA members receive a box of fresh, locally grown produce on a consistent basis (often once a week). These products are not limited to produce, but can also include other farm-raised products, such as cheese, flowers, eggs, and more.

Put simply, the backyard “farm” is a resourceefficient combination of food production zones that are each optimized for their highest and best uses. Combined, they can go a long way to make you more self-sufficient in terms of your food.
Optimizing your land for food production means knowing which conditions are best for which crops. For instance, if you have an area that is more shade than sun and has acidic soil, plant blueberries. If you have a south-facing wall that gets full sun and is tough to get water to, plant sunflowers right up against it.
Fruit trees can be stellar additions to your backyard farm. Not only do you get the beauty of the blossoms in the spring, you get the fruit harvest a few months later. If where you live has the threat of a late frost, plant trees that bloom late for the best success with fruit production. Note that fruit trees can come in three sizes: dwarf, semi-dwarf
and standard. The smallest size is “dwarf” that can grow about ten feet tall, by ten wide.
Also note that some varieties of fruit trees are self-pollinating, meaning that you can get a true fruit harvest with just a single tree. This is particularly helpful if you only have enough room for a single fruit tree in a location that gets the required 6+ hours of sun each day. You can find self-pollinating varieties of peach, apricot, apple and cherry at nurseries in our area. If you only have room for a single tree, be sure to choose the type of fruit you enjoy the most!
Chickens are another excellent addition to your backyard farm – if the laws where you live allow you to have them. If the laws allow, there are excellent benefits of raising chickens. To start, having a pair of good laying hens is an incredible way to ramp up your self-sufficiency.
Chickens vary by the breed, but on the whole, they are low maintenance, and offer a long-lasting source of protein. Chickens give you multiple outputs – eggs, meat and fertilizer. They’re also good for pest control, and working your land. In short, chickens are the “one size fits 95%” solution.
If you think about it, a small flock of regularproducing chickens can basically feed a family 1
meal a day with their eggs. If becoming selfsufficient with your backyard farm is one of your main objectives, then chickens can really help you get there.
Backyard Farming Lifestyle
Backyard farming is as much a lifestyle choice as a means to self-sufficiency. The desire to grow crops or keep animals in your own backyard is driven by many factors from wishing to live sustainably and eat healthy, organic food, to reducing grocery bills and your carbon footprint.
Backyard farming can also be incorporated with other backyard ideas to create an outdoor space to satisfy all of your needs. You don't need a large outdoor area to try your hand at it – even the smallest space can be put to productive use. Over time, if you create a backyard “farm” that provides you with as much of your food as you can, it will bring you closer to living a self-sufficient lifestyle.

As you read this, not only are we entering prime tomato season, but peppers, garlic, onions, and herbs are also abundant – and peaches aren’t too far behind. These are the ingredients that just happen to be perfect for the following two salsa recipes.
Garden Fresh Salsa
A quick fresh tomato salsa like this one from www.itsavegworldafterall.com, will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull, you can always pump it up with a squeeze of lime juice. As you select your tomatoes for this salsa, one thing to keep in mind is that juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy Roma tomatoes, which are classic salsa tomatoes. The freshness of this Garden Fresh Salsa recipe will give you a burst of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Rain date Saturday, June 24th
Office opens at 5 pm
$15.00 for Adults
Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best kind to use for salsa, but you can use other varieties as well.
Onion: Sweet, yellow, white, or red onions will work.
Garlic: The more cloves, the better!
Jalapeno: Use more or less jalapeno depending on how much spice you want. Remove the jalapeno seeds to make the salsa less spicy.
Cilantro: Fresh cilantro is a great addition to salsa, but you can also experiment with other herbs.
Lime: A squeeze of fresh lime juice complements the other ingredients. You can substitute white vinegar if needed.
Salt: Don’t forget to season the salsa to bring out all of the amazing flavors.
Instructions
1. Cut and dice your tomatoes and then chop all of the other ingredients.
2. Combine everything in a mixing bowl, add the lime juice and salt. Mix well. (Note that if your tomatoes are full of flavor you may not need to add the lime juice.)
3. Ideally, let the salsa stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend and ripen.
4. Serve with chips and enjoy!
Homemade Fresh Peach Salsa
From modernmealmakeover.com we picked this delicious homemade fresh peach salsa recipe that is done best with tree-ripened peaches. It is sweet and savory, great with chips, and also great for topping fish or pork. An advantage of peach salsa is that it is a little less acidic than a regular tomato salsa.
Ingredients
Peaches: Best with fresh ripe peaches. Canned peaches can also be work: drain juice before adding to salsa.
Tomatoes: Roma and beefsteak tomatoes work best when making salsa.
Red Onion: Red onion preferred, but you can also use sweet yellow onion.
Jalapeno: Remove the seeds for a less spicy salsa, or leave them in for a little extra heat.
Cilantro: Add more or less to taste.
Lime Juice: Fresh squeezed lime juice is the best option for this salsa.
Salt and Pepper: Add more or less to taste.
Instructions
1. Put chopped peaches, tomatoes, red onion,
jalapeno, and cilantro in a medium mixing bowl. Squeeze fresh lime juice and sprinkle salt and pepper over ingredients.
2. Stir to combine well.
3. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 1530 minutes before serving.
4. Serve and enjoy.
Storing Fresh Salsa
Homemade salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Like all salsas, it will become very juicy the longer it sits. That said after sitting for one day in the fridge the flavors in a homemade salsa will often taste more connected and robust.
getting your ingredients ready before you start the canning process. With jam, for instance, leaving it boiling for too long while you grate the lemon zest destroys the pectin so the jam won't set – so you want to make sure you have everything ready ahead of time. You can also prepare some ingredients the day before to make canning day less arduous.
2. Leave the peel on.

Maybe you've planted, tended, and harvested your garden crop of beans, tomatoes, and strawberries, or perhaps you know you're going to miss that fresh produce in the grocery store once autumn arrives. To help you enjoy the tastes of summer throughout the winter, use these tips when canning, pickling, and preserving fresh fruits and vegetables.
1. Prepare ingredients ahead of time. Keep calm and produce a better product by
Canning tomatoes, pears, and plums without peeling them preserves the nutrients, prevents waste, and saves time. If you don't prefer the texture of the peel, then by all means, remove it. But if you don't mind it, there's no reason not to keep it on. That being said, some fruits and veggies should definitely be peeled:
• Peaches – canning peaches with a fuzzy peel is generally not as appetizing
• Citrus fruits – the peel on oranges, limes, lemons, and so on is bitter
• Beets – the peel is just too tough
3. Bigger batches save time and effort.
Canning tomatoes and fruits is especially hot work when you want the skin removed, since you have to immerse them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds to loosen the skin. Instead, try canning a
lot at once to make the day spent in a hot kitchen even more worthwhile.
4. Use fresh fruits and vegetables.
Produce that sits for a few days on the counter or even in the fridge loses some of its vitamins. It’s best to can your garden fruits and veggies right after you harvest them. That will give you the highest nutritional content. It's perfectly fine to freeze produce that will be cooked before canning until you're ready to can if needed. This preserves the nutrients and taste.
5. Sterilize canning jars…or not.
If the cooking time of your preserves is more than 10 minutes, it's not necessary to sterilize your canning jars – just make sure they are very clean. For any other canning, sterilize and keep jars warm by:
• Placing in dishwasher on sanitize cycle
• Boiling jars for 10 minutes in a large pot
• Using a water bath canner
6. Be safe with pressure canning. Canning jars should always be sterilized before pressure canning. The main goal in preserving your fresh fruits and vegetables – besides having delicious produce to eat through the winter – is to prevent bacteria from growing so the preserves
are free of dangerous botulism. Some foods cannot be pressure canned, such as dairy, grains, and pureed vegetables. Foods with a ph of 4.6 or above can be. Investing in a small ph tester or litmus paper is very helpful.
7. Don't reinvent the wheel.
Many seasoned canners have tested the waters before you, and offer great tips and tricks for saving time and effort, as well as producing delicious results. Search the internet to find the zestiest salsa recipe for canning, tips on making sweet applesauce, and tricks for turning cucumbers into crunchy pickles or a spicy salad.

The term Tornado Alley was first coined in 1952 when two meteorologists – Major Ernest J. Fawbush and Captain Robert C. Miller – studied severe weather in parts of Texas and Oklahoma. Since then, the term has stuck around as a way to describe the area that encompasses parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, where it was believed tornado activity was the most frequent. But with powerful tornadoes decimating areas in the Midwest and southeastern United States, there now may be reason to believe that Tornado Alley is shifting east. “When you look at the trends
in where tornadoes have occurred in recent years, it’s very clear that there have been more tornadoes farther south and farther east, away from what people have typically known as the Tornado Alley across the Plains,” according to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter.
Destructive Power
While tornadoes often last for mere minutes, they are capable of destruction that can impact people for years after the storm. Trucks can be twisted to look like doughnuts and when houses come apart the debris turns into flying missiles that basically attack other homes nearby.
Every second counts when a tornado strikes, so a vital part of having a tornado plan is knowing where to take shelter. While there is no guaranteed “safe” location in a tornado, some places may offer more protection than others depending on the structure. In this article, sourced and edited from Accuweather.com, we take a look at key information worth knowing – even here in our area, because tornados seem to be shifting east.
If you have a foundation-based house: Rooms like closets, bathrooms and other rooms without windows are typically the go-to shelter location for people in on-site homes during a tornado.
Remembering “DUCK” (get Down to the lowest level, get Under something sturdy, Cover your head and Keep yourself sheltered until the storm has passed) can be life-saving
If you live in a mobile home: Staying in a mobile home during severe weather is extremely dangerous, even if it's tied down properly. Residents should have a plan in place to give themselves plenty of time to drive to a shelter.
When severe weather strikes on the road: Experts advise motorists to stay off the road until severe weather clears; however, if it strikes while driving, there are ways to lessen any danger. Remember to never seek shelter under a bridge or
overpass, which can amplify the speeds of the winds and offer little to no protection from flying debris. Instead, seek sturdy shelter in a sturdy structure, especially underground.
According to the National Weather Service: If you are unable to make it to a safe shelter, either get down in your car and cover your head or abandon your car and seek shelter in a low-lying area such as a ditch or ravine.
The Bottom Line: Seeking safety as soon as possible is key to tornado survival and having a plan in place can help you and your family take shelter quickly and effectively.

-Carl ArnerEvery year the Berks County Fersammling gives a favor to each attending person. Being the Chairman of that committee, we decided to have placemats about Conrad Weiser. Following is the English translation:
Conrad Weiser was born November 2, 1696 in Affstat, Germany. With his parents, he arrived at New York Harbor June 13, 1710 on the ship LYON and settled in Weiserdorf, Schoharie, New York.
He spent the winter and spring of 1712-13 in the Mohawk Valley among the Six Nations, or Iroquois Confederacy (League) as an adopted son of Chief Quayant. The knowledge he gained there of the language, customs and statesmanship of the Iroquois Confederacy prepared him for his later career as an Indian interpreter and ambassador. It was this role as a peacemaker that made him so important in the history of our Commonwealth and nation.
Arguments with the Dutch over land grants caused Conrad Weiser to leave Schoharie. He came to the Tulpehocken region in 1729 and settled at the foot of Eagles Peak in present day Heidelberg Township near the borough of Womelsdorf, Berks

County, PA. Here he built the limestone house pictured on this placemat. It consisted of one large room with a great fireplace and oven at one end and sleeping quarters in the loft. He and his wife, Ann Eve (Feg), had fourteen children.
Although Conrad Weiser was best known as an interpreter and peacemaker, his career also included farmer, tanner, churchman, first President Judge of Berks County (1752), diplomat and soldier.
The Indians called him TARACHIAWAGON, the "Holder of the Heavens." Dr. Arthur D. Graeff said in his book, CONRAD WEISER, "To follow him is to discover the Pennsylvania Germans."
Conrad Weiser died on July 13, 1760 in this house. In 1761, his death was lamented in Indian fashion by Seneca George, as he held in his hand a belt of white wampum (beads) with four black streaks, and said: "We are at a great loss and sit in darkness, as well as you, by the death of Conrad Weiser, as since his death we cannot understand one another so well; By this belt we cover his body with bark." His grave is located in the cemetery nearby the Weiser Homestead.
In the Conrad Weiser Park, besides the first house (ca. 1730), which was enlarged in 1751, is also the Weiser's springhouse, as well as a 2 1/2 story house built in 1834.
The Conrad Weiser Homestead is a State Historic Site administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and was established as a National Landmark recognized by the Department of Interior in 1962.
[Conrad Weiser was an important Pennsylvania German in our state’s history and indeed the nation’s, as the article here demonstrates. His Homestead is open to the public during the summer months. Check on the internet for more information on times and events. (Conrad Weiser Homestead Events.) This coming Sunday, June 4, incidentally, they are having a Colonial Craft and Demonstration Day from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.]

Beloved employee, Kenneth Derhammer, of Becky’s Drive-In, helped to check the speakers each morning to see if they were in working order for the evening’s movies in the 1950s. Kenny was unable to speak or hear but was able to check the speakers by feeling the vibrations in each speaker to make sure there was sound for the patrons viewing pleasure each evening. You might also remember Kenny when he gave pony rides to the children attending the double features in the 1950-1960s.

Combining her original tunes with a long list of covers, makes Jeni a performer that any audience will appreciate Stone Lake Winery, which has a stand in the Slatington Farmer’s Market, began at a Bed & Breakfast, Stone Lake Inn. The owners, Scott and
Jacki Douglas, would send their guests to the wineries surrounding the B&B. They soon realized that their guests loved tasting local wines, so the couple decided to create our own winery. Be it innovation, determination, or sheer grit, the Douglas family achieved their dream and their persistence is reflected in the quality of the wines. Their wines are produced to be experienced on any occasion, whether it’s a once in a lifetime

Wolf schools of Northampton Area School District visited the Historical Centre Museum as part of their annual Magical History Tour. Teachers Chris Hoensheid and Pam Kremus accompanied the 13 students and others. They walked through the museum and completed a photo scavenger hunt searching for various items throughout the building. A short summary of the purpose of the museum collection was discussed and museum volunteers answered questions about the items used in days past summed up their visit. Next year the group is hoping to visit the St Paul’s One-Room Schoolhouse on their end of year history tour. We invite small groups such as Scouts or other school or civic groups to plan to visits either location. Call our office at 610-440-0151 to schedule, or message us on Facebook or our website.

Even though Scout is still young, he seems to be the more laid-back of his litter of 3 but is affectionate and playful as well. Scout enjoys joining in on all the activities of the other puppies and he really enjoys the company of children. Scout walks "ok" on a leash and still working on kennel & potty training. At 16/17 weeks old, he is still in development time but is on course to succeed at these milestones. He is treat/food motivated which is always a bonus with puppy training.
Scout is fully vetted including neuter, microchip, all puppy & Rabies vaccinations, and monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention medication.
