Merry Anniversary Month of May again! Continuing the celebration of one year of Farm Bell Recipes, this week’s giveaway honors our steadfast, stalwart, creative, funny, amazing, and deliciously-minded contributors to the Farm Bell Recipes blog–and those of you who have yet to contribute! Whether you’ve submitted a blog post in the past or you submit your first one now, you may enter here to win the drawing for a Nesco/American Harvest Dehydrator
TO BE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER, you must have submitted a blog post (not a recipe or a recipe request or a comment, but a blog post) to the Farm Bell Recipes blog. Ever. At any time in the history of Farm Bell Recipes. Yesterday, last month, last year. Please note that you are not automatically entered–you must leave a comment on this post. Just say, “I’m a contributor!” If you submit a NEW blog post during the duration of this giveaway (by midnight Eastern time Wednesday, May 11) you can leave a second comment to enter twice.
But what if you haven’t contributed a blog post in the past? You can still enter! Here’s how! SUBMIT A BLOG POST! To submit a blog post, use the form here. There is a how-to tutorial on how to submit a blog post here if you need more information. Posts on the Farm Bell blog may be recipes, cooking memories, kitchen chat, or just about anything and everything food-related. A trip down the pages of an old recipe book. A list of favorite old-fashioned kitchen gadgets. An ode to your favorite fruit or vegetable. Ideas for entertaining. Memories of learning to can with your grandmother. Your favorite ways to use up all that zucchini in the summer, or a sentimental set of dishes. If it’s about cooking and the kitchen and food, it belongs on the Farm Bell blog!
After submitting a post, leave a comment here to say you’ve submitted a post. You will NOT be automatically entered. You must leave a comment here as well to be part of the drawing. Your post, and your comment, must be submitted by midnight Eastern May 11 to be eligible for the drawing.
Please remember that submitting a post is not a guarantee that it will be published on the Farm Bell Recipes blog. If your post is selected to run, you will be contacted when we schedule it. Remember also that a recipe by itself is NOT a blog post. A childhood memory in a single paragraph is NOT a blog post. Posts on the Farm Bell Recipes blog may be relatively short (around 500 words), but should still be complete. Feel free to browse the FBR blog archives to see what sorts of posts we’ve run in the past.
This giveaway will remain open for two days. One winner will be drawn by random comment number to receive the dehydrator. Eligible entry cut-off is midnight Eastern (U.S.) time tomorrow night (May 11). This post will be updated with the winner by noon Eastern (U.S.) time day after tomorrow (May 12). RETURN TO THIS POST TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE. The winner will not be notified by email.
(You must be a registered member to participate. Sign up here! For more help, see our Community Guidelines.)
Do you have a recipe post or kitchen-related story to share on the Farm Bell blog? See Farm Bell Blog Submissions for information and to submit a post.Want to subscribe to the Farm Bell blog? Go here.
UPDATE 05/12/11: The winning comment number, drawn by random.org, is comment #40, Buckeye Girl. Email me at [email protected] with your full name and address for shipping!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED TO ENTRY.

On May 10, 2011 at 11:51 am
Suzanne McMinn says:
JerseyMom, it needs to be a blog post for Farm Bell Recipes, not a recipe request, sorry!
Jeanne, have you submitted a blog post? This giveaway is not for recipe posts, but for blog posts.

I actually have been intending to learn how to get involved with blog posts, so what an incentive.
I did post, probably in the wrong place, probably the picture didn’t upload properly, but I tried.
And with a subject dear to my heart, I took the picture a week ago in my neighborhood and wanted to share it. So now I am a contributor, hope, and can be entered to win!

Vying for one more change to win the dehydrator. Just typing the word make me thirsty! Lol. Like everyone else, I’m hoping I win. My dog is alergic to everything; plan to use it to dry sweet potatoes for the puppy (and treats for me, too).
