Rocky Raccoon of Fiddlin' Rooster Farm

This adorable little critter is one of our beloved friends at the farm.

We are trying to train him to be friends with the chickens at our Hen House (and with Mr. Rooster, as well).  Unfortunately, Rocky’s idea of being friendly is to invite the chickens to dinner … at which they are the main entree.

You can see by this candid shot that we have tried to interest Rocky in a vegetarian diet of old corn stalks and the like.  He is showing his displeasure by sticking out his tongue.  This fella has no manners.

But’s he is absolutely adorable.

1 1/2 c. Flour
1/2 c. Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 c. Butter
1 Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
4 c. Blueberries

2 c. Sour Cream
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend first four ingredients, then add egg and vanilla.  Pat in a 10″ springform pan.  Place blueberries on top of cake.  Mix remaining ingredients and pour over berries.  Bake at 375o  approximately 60 -70 minutes, or until edges are lightly brown.  Serve with whipped cream.

Don’t pick your Jack-O-Lantern this year from a boring box and struggle with crying kids in a grocery cart!  Have some fun instead!   Bring your family out to the farm, take a hayride to the field and pick one straight from our pumpkin patch.   (Prices vary by weight.)

Since it’s  a little early for pumpkins, how about an easy recipe for another member of the squash family.  Don’t tell the kids it’s high in vitamins and minerals.  It’s so good it could pass for dessert! 

Easy Acorn Squash

Cut ends off squash so that it will sit flat and not roll.  Slice in half and discard pulp and seeds.  Fill middle with one tablespoon butter and one tablespoon brown sugar or honey.  Bake in 350 degree oven until soft.  Serve warm.  Can also be cooked in a microwave oven.  Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high until soft.  Scoop out and enjoy!
