Will be separating garlic cloves for planting during the rain that’s coming. As soon as it dries up again, I’ll be planting garlic, cabbages, broccoli, and othe rbrassicas, greens lettuce, carrots, beets and a bunch more…oh my! Here we go folks!

If you aren’t excited yet, don’t worry; I’m excited enough for the both of us lol!

Cabin Fever Fridays In February!

Who is ready for our February cleanse?

Starting FEBRUARY 2nd, we will have CABIN FEVER FRIDAYS, each week!

❄️ The winter blues can make us feel down and tired. We need to give ourselves a boost to feel our best. We need vitamin D, exercise, lots of chlorophyll, a micro nutrient dense diet and oodles of water!

Here’s your 🏠 CABIN FEVER FRIDAYS plan:

🌞 Your Vitamin D and exercise- Each Friday you’ll need to get outside for no less then 20 minutes of activity. It must be intense enough to make you slightly out of breath. Make sure you choose a time of the day that the sun is the strongest possible in your longitude and expose the most amount of your skin to that sun as you possibly can. You can do this everyday of the week and for longer periods. Just make Friday’s for 20 mins your minimum this month.
🚿 DO NOT shower after this vitamin D protocol for at least 2 hours.

⏰*bonus option would be to use a tanning bed with UVB ray bulbs 6-8 minutes each visit, twice per week.

☕️ To really help your body make use of the Vitamin D protocol and help your moods, take a supplement and stop drinking coffee.

Chlorophyll and Micronutrients-
Every Friday you need to take in lots of chlorophyll and micronutrients. You can do this up to everyday or as often as you like but make it every Friday as a minimum for this month. Choose 2 of the options below each day:

Prairie Gold Wheat

My field of Prairie Gold wheat has been planted folks! I’m super excited about this harvest come June of 2018!

It means I’ll be baking with one of the few heirloom varieties of wheat strains that was never engineered to have excessive gluten. If you have anyone in your family that suffers from gluten intolerance- you understand how awful it can be.

Woohoo!! I can’t wait to start baking with my own home grown, hand harvested, hand winnowed, hand crank ground PRAIRIE GOLD heirloom wheat flour!!

These are collected everyday from my fat and sassy, happy and healthy hens. They cluck proudly after each one they lay. I’m sure they are having the most interesting debates amongst themselves- who’s egg is biggest, who’s is the healthiest, who’s is the freshest!

We are what we eat folks, so feed yourself well and eat only clean, pure, wholesome foods!
What do my hens eat? I’m glad you asked, and I’ll gladly share the details with you.
I do my best to provide unlimited amounts of green forage, insects and tiny critters (frogs and snakes) for my chickens browsing pleasure. They have access to 15 acres of woods and pasture to roam. Pecking and scratching to their hearts content.

I put out cracked NON GMO, organically raised corn from my fields for them. They get milo from my crop last year. From this years crop I now have sunflower seeds and millet to feed them. I will be planting wheat soon so I can add that to their ration when I harvest next year.

All these feed items are grown on my land. No chemicals are sprayed on them. I start with heirloom, NEVER GMO seeds and raise them with tender loving care. All fertilizers and pest control are natural and organic. I never use herbicides of any kind.

If you are accustomed to these kinds of eggs you will be happy to get mine and if you’ve never had these kind of eggs- once you try them, you’ll never want to eat store bought again!

*Please note* I am not approved to sell my eggs at the Senatobia farmers market. I can arrange pick up/drop off with you. Text or call me to my phone to order your lovely eggs!
