Hi folks, Steve Rouse here. Well, it’s taken me a while to figure out the “next thing”, but I believe I have with these stories. From growing up in a small town in the 50’s and 60’s to a crazy morning show and our band, to an organic farm and a slightly scandalous BnB, I’m sharing my journey with all the humorous twists and turns this old baby boomer has experienced along the way. Plus, I share a lifestyle, we call “Steve Style” full of growing veggies, having a flock of chickens, keeping bees, heating with wood, cutting firewood, and being one of Mother Nature’s closest friends.

Listen in the car or read and watch at lunch, in bed or sitting on the … you know. I hope you enjoy!

Tomatoes in November!

Picked the last of the tomatoes in the garden today and was thinking this is quite late for Tomatoes to even still be around. So I got out the old Rousedale Farm blog and checked a few years and when we stopped having tomatoes in the farm market for sale. One post was the end of September. Another post was October 10. I didn’t look at every year to check, but pretty sure we never...
