We’ve all gotten sick and I’ve lost my voice. Might not be able to open tomorrow either. I don’t want to pass this onto anyone else. If you need something just text me since I can’t talk on the phone.
Woke up this morning with fever, sore throat and body aches…. Sounds like cold/flu to me so I’ll be staying home today. If you need anything let me know via text to my phone and I’ll get a farmhand to help you. See you next week hugs
Have you tried using onion or garlic peels for skin conditions?
Save it and put in cheese cloth, a giant tea ball, clean sock or just strain it out-and boil in water for 15 mins. You can soak feet for athletes foot, soak a cloth for a poultice and put on irritated areas for couple minutes. Rinse and rinse repeat until you notice relief.
You can drink it for muscle cramps and a sleeping aid. Reduces cholesterol and strengthens your heart.
Crush the dried papery skins and add to home made bread dough for a mild flavor and nutritive additions. I use my mortar and pestle.
Take a peek at all the information online about the amazing health benefits of using the skins for your family’s health.
My idea, and I’m betting it’s already been done by someone, somewhere… is to combine dried pulverized skins with some other type of dense fibrous natural material and make paper out of it. I bet it can be done! What stories and ideas do you have?
We are starting to get more and more eggs again. I’m not sure if it was the cheeky conversation I had with the girls a couple weeks ago or maybe the special feed mix I whipped up for them that got their booties back in gear but either way, we are all happy to see the results.
We are busy hatching out brand new baby chicks as well. Should have close to 60 new chicks to add to the flock by end of February. My goal is to expand my operation by a few hundred more by end of summer.
Speaking of hatching chicks, would anyone be interested to learn how to incubate and raise up your own chicks at home using fertile eggs? I’m going to offer a class on this here real soon. So grab your friends and get them ready to come with you, for a hands on approach to chick hatching. Watch my page for date/time announcement and your chance to sign up.
He was here today and will be back next Saturday at 11am. He’s feeling awfully Grinchy lately so you might want to bring the kids and say hi! 😉
Need to take Richard to his heart doctor appointment today so I’ll be closing at 2:30pm but will be open tomorrow.
Found a baby kitten under momma hen in the nest box this morning! Momma hen didn’t mind to keep this furry critter warm all night. The brand new mother cat isn’t sure exactly how to care for her babies so we will need to intervene for her. We found another one of her babies on the front porch this morning, as if asking us for help.
This is definitely one aspect of living the FARM LIFE that keeps us on our toes. Now my morning routine has to be altered to accommodate finding the proper mother for these 2 little furballs if I can. Trying to reunite them and observe if she will care for them. If not, we will need to assume all those duties every day and all night. Tiny kittens require round the clock care without fail to survive! it is a serious commitment, anyone want to volunteer? 😉
PS… if you are wondering why there are plastic easter eggs in the nest box, its simple. We use them filled with dirt and sealed shut, to help train the hens where to lay their eggs. They prefer to keep them in clutches, so if we provide a few that can always sit there without ever getting rotten, they’ll learn to lay their own eggs right with them.
If you like to get a powerful source of protein from vegetables, soy beans can help! We hand pick them still soft out of the field, hand shell them, weigh and bag into 1 pound increments. Each bag makes 4 servings, yielding 18 grams of protein per person. At a price of $8 per pound, you can serve your family a high vegetable protein, sourced right here in Tate county, for about $2 per person. 1 pound bags are frozen and stored all year round after our once a year harvest.
We heard from the butcher and plan to pick up monday 10/10. We should be able to start having folks pick up their orders by Tuesday or Wednesday. Please call or text me so we can schedule yours.
Im starting to juice for better health again. The focus this time will be cleaning my liver using the carrot/beet/apple trio for now. I bought a new juicer and its kinda difficult to figure out how to take it apart to clean it. <scratching my head> Stop in and lets chat more if you have an interest in this topic yourself
Its my favorite time of year again. I love these cool crisp mornings where I’m able to wear my long, thick, dark hair down instead of up!
