Print vs Digital?
For years, we have been engaged in the print vs digital debate. The pendulum swings back and forth as we pit the two forms of publication against one another in a never-ending question of “which is better?”
But what if we told you these two methods weren’t enemies, but allies?
There are a lot of opinions floating around on the internet regarding print and digital means, as well as whether this argument has any validity at all. Some say print is dying. We say it gained a partner to expand its business!

Print isn’t dying. When it comes to reading articles and features, many readerships still prefer a tangible publication. There is something about holding a magazine, flipping through the pages, and the subtle smell of ink on paper that is captivating. We also have exclusive interactive QR codes with the stories that take our readers on a journey via audio, videos and websites that they point to. All you have to do is open your camera app on your smart device, hover over code and click the link at the top of the screen. Our pages literallly come alive right in front of you!
While the internet is a great resource and one many people use to read up on the news and various click bait or niche stories, print magazines are viewed as more leisurely formats.
Many readers classify sitting down and reading a physical magazine as a form of relaxation. It gives them a break from the screen they spend a good portion of their day staring at while at work - especially during these challenging times.
Yet where it excels, it also lacks. Digital magazines have many advantages, one of the primary ones being convenience.
Digital publications are faster to produce, easy to access, and offer many features print publications cannot.
It’s also easy for our readers to access. It’s readily accessible on all digital devices to take with you wherever you go.
It’s also important to note that digital magazines have immediate interactivity features such as audio and video. Like the news, people enjoy the multi-sensory delivery of stories, tips, ideas, and more. Simply including interview footage or additional sound bytes into your articles can make it exponentially more popular.
It gives your reader a chance to engage in the content they are consuming, which causes them to linger on the information rather than glance over it. It’s a hook to draw them in and encourage them to continue reading.
This is just one example, yet it’s a great illustration of the advantages of digital magazines. There is so much to be gained and gleaned from this modern-day format all you have to do is tap into its capabilities . . . and we have!

This is a must have for every home library! We are so proud to have featured Nicole England's book in Volume 2 of Nourish and Flourish. Just as every home is different, so is every dog. In this stunningly photographed book of architecturally superb houses—many of them architects’ own homes—readers see ho the presence of a dog brings warmth and life to the most dramatic spaces.
“Photographing people’s homes on a regular basis, I soon realized that the shoots I enjoyed most were the ones where dogs were present,” writes author and photographer Nicole England. “It didn’t matter how imposing the architecture, how serious the home owner, or how earnest the architect might be, some doggy hijinks could immediately bring an element of sociability, authenticity, and fun to the day.
Seemingly oblivious to the designer furniture, heritage considerations or serious design aesthetics, dogs can make themselves at home anywhere, and make any room feel more like home.

What better way to make yourself feel better than to visit your local farmers market, coffee house or cafe! Our creative team spent the morning at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market in Atlanta today and it was great to see people out shopping and supporting local businesses, farms, and artisans.

PRFM is one of the largest producer-only farmers market in the state. Producer-only means that everything at the Market has been grown, raised, or made by the seller, ensuring fair prices for both the vendors and the consumers.

Today is National Herbs and Spices Day! Let's celebrate the diversity and quality offered by using both fresh and dried herbs and spices in your cooking. Herbs and spices are essential to cooking. As the weather heats up, cooking with fresh herbs will bring brightness and flavor to your food. They not only add flavor to your meals but herbs and spices also add color bringing a vibrancy to every meal.
How To Start An Herb Garden: Tips from The Tasteful Garden
Herbs are very easy to grow with a little sunshine, soil that drains well, some watering, and a little fertilizer or compost. Herbs can be grown in pots; however, the plants always prefer to be in the ground where they can spread out. Some plants grow quite large (4-6 feet), and when placed in pots they can become stunted and can get stressed, which causes them to be very unhappy.
The main requirement for growing herbs is growing them in the proper location. Most prefer full sun as long as regular summer temperatures don't rise above 90 degrees. If you have very warm summers, then consider planting in and area that gets morning sun and afternoon shade in the summertime, or a place that receives filtered light (such as under a tree that allows some light to pass through). Check the area several times during the day to make sure that there are at least four hours of sun. (e.g., 8 to 12, 12 to 4, or from 9 to 11 and 2 to 4)
For planting herbs, you need approximately 1 to 4 feet in diameter for each plant, depending on the plant. Here are some general guidelines for plant sizes:
Next, you need to prepare the soil. Digging with a large garden fork loosens soil that has become compacted over the years. This allows water to drain and creates space for plant roots to reach down into the soil. This is the most important step--shortcuts here are disastrous for your plants. Adding compost to your soil, about an inch or so on top and then mixing it into the soil, helps prevent drainage problems and adds fertilizer to the garden.
The final step is to plant healthy, strong plants and water them when they become dry. Most herbs like to be watered as soon as the soil located a couple of inches below the surface is dry to the touch. Since temperatures and humidity cause drying times to vary every week, you must check the soil often. Do not over-water. More water is not better and can lead to diseases or just poor growing conditions for your herbs, which will result in reduced growth.
For more information about growing herbs and ordering starter plants , please visit The Tasteful Garden.
The Tasteful Garden, has been in operation since May of 1996. The are located in Heflin, Alabama which is directly between Birmingham and Atlanta, Georgia. They grow all varieties of culinary herbs and many types of heirloom and hybrid tomatoes and other gourmet vegetable and pepper varieties which are sold through via their website and shipped all over the United States. They are certified organic.
Their greenhouses are located on our farm property with cows, horses, dogs, & cats. They stay extremely busy getting plants ready to be shipped all over the country. They are not open to the public for visiting but you are welcome to pick up your plants at their location on specified days in order to save shipping costs.

HOW TO OBSERVE
#HerbsAndSpicesDay
Plant an herb garden and start using those herbs to create your own supply of herbs and spices. Some great plants to start with include dill, fennel, basil, sage, thyme, and cilantro.
Another way to participate in the celebration is by reviewing your stock of dried herbs and spices. Over time, their quality degrades. Be sure to store dried herbs and spices in a cool, dark area and in sealed containers. How do you know if your spice or herb has lost its punch? Your nose is your best friend here. Crush or rub some into the palm of your hand and take a sniff. If the fragrance is still pungent, then the quality is still there. However, if you only catch a dull, dusty smell, it’s probably time to replace the herb or spice.

From Morgan's Kitchen to Yours! Making your own homemade dog treats can be a fun reward for your dog. As conscious consumers, we all look at food labels, and try to buy the most nutritional products on the market So why not do the same for your furry best friend? By making homemade dog treats you have more control and options - plus it is a fun, family activity that your kids and dog(s) will love!
- Nutritious and Wholseome! You can control the ingredients used to make the treats and tailor the recipes to your dog’s taste preferences as well as cater to any dietary restrictions.
- All Natural Ingredients: Prevent unhealthy additives, fillers and by-products.
- Tasty alternative. Making your own dog treats allows you to provide your pet with a tasty alternative to his usual doggie biscuit.
This recipe includes bacon and we know your pup will love it. Since bacon is high in fat and salt, only give your pup very small amounts. This recipe calls for just one slice finely chopped. Just enough to give the treats that tasty bacon flavor - sometimes referred to as "meat candy!"
This is a recipe from Morgan's Kitchen made especially for Zu, our mascot.

This is a Flavors of the Season signature recipe featuring Sunnyland Farms Junior Pecan Halves, also known as Elliots. These Georgia grown pecans are both nutritious and delicious. They have a naturally high oil content with a buttery, sweet flavor and light crunch. They are only available through select growers and we prefer Sunnyland Farms in Albany Georgia.
Did you know that the pecan is the only tree nut native to North America? Its buttery flavor and unmatched nutritional content have resulted in its growing worldwide popularity. Tracing its origin to the 16th century, the name “pecan” is derived from the Native American (Algonquin) word “pacane” (pacane) that described “nuts requiring a stone to crack.”
‘Elliott’ is a seedling selection made by Effie McLean Elliot, the wife of Henry Elliot, in Milton, Florida in the early 1900s and is now considered "Jewels of the Pecan Crop."
Ingredients
1 pound flat-leaf kale (about 2 bunches)
⅓ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
4–6 fresh strawberries
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1½ cups)
¼ cup of Sunnyland Farms Junior Pecan Halves, also known as Elliots
3–4 sprigs of fresh mint leaves
Wash and dry kale and mint leaves. Cut kale into ribbons discarding any tough stems. Place in bowl and drizzle with olive olive, salt and pepper. Massage the kale for a few minutes to infuse the olive oil. This will also soften the kale. Add the mint leaves and toss.
Apple Cider Vinaigrette
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil - or Sunnyland Farms Pecan Oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Method
Whisk vinegar, olive oil, salt, and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; set aside. Drizzle over salad when served.
