Long Weekend Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes w/ Maple Syrup

8/29/2013

 
I'm on a roll -- I'm certain this obsession with the blueberries should end, but the reality is that unlike okra (which I am SICK of seeing, picking, freezing, pickling, frying and eating),  I never get tired of blueberries.

    Kelley Creek Farms is a small (micro really) hobby farm located in Central Alabama 30 minutes south of Birmingham. We raise heritage and rare waterfowl and poultry along with a myriad of other creatures that give the farm its life. In addition to the birds, we raise heirloom tomatoes and vegetables.

    Each day is different and brings a new set of adventures. Some make you laugh and some make you cry. Some are just plain frustrating. But we persevere knowing that tomorrow's set of problems will be completely different than today. Still figuring all this out ....one day at a time and striving for a more sustainable way of life.
