Possum Tales

I don't think it's possible for my camp stay at Possum Tail Farm to have been any better. When I first arrived, Brian, their son and their puppy welcomed me and kindly showed me several camping spots tucked around their property that I could choose from. They were all so picturesque, there's no…

Crazy Emails Our online shop host Barn2Door recently had a bug in their system.  It ended up triggering many errant e-mails to customers.  It was really annoying for everybody.  The upside is that customers who received those pesky e-mails can use the coupon code SORRY5 to save $5 off your next…

Spring Is Spring around the corner?  We’ve had a few good snows and melts.  That means we do our best to manage the amazing amount of water that comes down from the road and into our front field.  Our first year back in Grandma and Grandpa's house that water ended up flooding our basement.  Brian…
