I love the holidays and love to decorate. Using fresh food, see how easy it is to inspire your holiday guests and set the beautiful, festive tone for your table when entertaining friends and family. Simple, accessible and affordable elegance!

Having gorgeous flowers around will lift your mood and brighten your evenings! Meet these two dazzling trend-setters who are passionate about their careers – and flowers!

We met with two dazzling young women who are as passionate about flowers as we are. They are part of the BALL BUZZ, the fan club of Ball Horticultural Company, who have been behind the gorgeous flowers you find in stores coast to coast. See how they inspired us with their gorgeous, chic, yet simple arrangements for fall.

I love something hot and healthy for fall, but being able to make it in under five minutes? Now you're talking!

We sat down and chatted with NatureSweet about their new approach to growing the perfect tomato.

I wanted to give you a first-hand look at what's happening in the produce industry, as there is a new spring in its step. The evolution for traditional produce growers to move into organics is becoming more widespread, and many of you shoppers have expressed that you don't think that it couldn't have happened soon enough!

Ahhh, summertime. I love this time of year, but never long enough it seems. How many of us could use a few more hours in the day?! Unfortunately, I can't give you more time, but I can give you ways to save time. 

We know you lovely Farm Star Living fans give a darn about what you and your families are eating. But, are you certain you can trust the school cafeteria to feed your children the healthy foods they need?
