Making a Switch and Stepping Up!

My brain is fried!  I have been doing some of this blogging stuff for quite a while and it always blows me away every time I make changes or begin something new.    But as I think back, I’ve got itwhipped.  After all for someone who began typing on a manual typewriter, transitioned to an electric, made copies with carbon paper and onion skins, was thrilled typewriters had a correction key, saw the advent of CPTs where you could preview what you typed on the screen and put it on a huge floppy disk to make changes before printing, marveled at the ease of a fax machine,  was fascinated with a flash drive, learned to use a desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone, couldn’t believe I could make friends online and talk to them for free in Australia and England via Skype, hey, I got this!

As my husband so aptly says at the tender age of 81, “If you don’t learn and change, you die.”  He’s currently Googling things and talking to me over my shoulder while I import and export from one blog to another.  Ah the marvels of technology that have taken over our lives.

So as we begin a new phase of blogging and educating about the wonderful health benefits about Aronia Berries, bear with me as I get frustrated, make things way too hard, or just get tired:)

So as fried as my brain is, I had to share one final thing…if a service duck can go shopping in the mall during the Christmas season.  I can surely waddle through this!

Whew! Settling in the Deep Freeze

What a better way to spend a frigid afternoon than catching up on a few things…  It’s good Aronia Berries need a cold season.  We’re sure getting it now!

After a long fall and exciting preparation for the holidays, things are finally settling down a bit and I can once again re-focus.  We’ve been busy making White Chocolate Aronia Fudge, Strawberry Aronia Fruit Spread all fall.  We hope those who received some as Christmas gifts thoroughly enjoyed theirs!  We’re always looking for new ways to use Aronia and trying to expand our market, and acquaint folks with the powerful purple berries! IMG_0003

We even spent a little time away from the farm in southwest Florida for the holidays with family and shared information about Aronia with folks at farmers’ markets there!  It was fun, they were sharing information about a fruit juice full of anti-oxidants and how good anti-oxidants were for you.  We told them we knew a little something about that!  Because Aronia is a “super food” with their high ORAC score.
