Get Authentic Food from Simpson Family Farm
Through the efforts of my wife, our family has been trying to eat healthier and smarter. We’re eating more fresh, organic produce through our bi-monthly deliveries from Farm Fresh Market.
We’re eating more "authentic food", particularly pork and chicken from a good friend of ours that runs his 7th generation family farm, Simpson’s Family Farm.
Our farm is a 7th generation family heirloom in which we take great pride. Settled in 1828, we are now in the process of transitioning this land once again into a sustainable family economy using methods and practices that allow us to produce truly “authentic food”. In 2007, we began in earnest by producing pastured poultry, and in 2008 we added pastured pork to our operation. In 2009, we offered grass-fed beef for the first time and 2010 has already seen us add a small egg laying flock as well ramp up our poultry and pork quantities to meet the growing demand for our high quality meats.
If you want well-cared for, great tasting poultry, you should visit the Simpson Family Farm website and learn more about how Darby does farming and also find out where you can purchase the fruits of his efforts.
Another positive thing about Indianapolis and the Indianapolis area is the connection with local farmers and what they produce for their customers on their properties. In this consumer driven era, it’s great to do something personal to support and reward those that are still the producers among us.
Indianapolis Family Makes Positive Impact for Their Neighbor
I read a story this morning on the IndyStar website about a family that purchased their neighbors house in a tax sale so he could have a place to live and remain in his home. The neighbor’s landlord had lost the house and he had no choice in the decision to have the house put up for sale.
Harrell called out the house’s auction number, held up her bid card and hoped that no one else would offer more than her $6,000 limit. When the bidding closed a few seconds after she offered the $4,274 minimum, she jumped out of her seat, flailed her arms and exclaimed, "I got it! I got it!"
The generous neighbors don’t have ownership yet, as the process allows the landlord 1-year to regain ownership.
With the news that’s been generated about the neighbors and their good deed, other donations and assistance has been coming in from others. One lady has pledged $1000 towards to purchase of the home, while other organizations have offered services to repair and fix problems with the home.
Stories like this are just some of the things that make Indianapolis a great place to live. I’d say that’s a pretty good helping of Hoosiers Helping Hoosiers along with the Hoosier Hospitality we always hear about and promote.
Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks
I’m not originally from Indianapolis or Indiana for that matter. Growing up I really didn’t like sports that much and when I did, it was because of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. As I expanded to watch more basketball when the Bull’s weren’t playing, my connections to Indianapolis caused me to pay attention to the Indiana Pacers for obvious reasons.
I never really cheered for the Pacers, until I moved here, but I was a fan of the talent and leadership of Reggie Miller while he was on the court.
There’s a new ESPN Films production coming out that you can see this evening at Conseco Fieldhouse that highlights and chronicles the story of the Hicks vs. the Knicks through the years. It was always an epic battle between the teams.
