Drakemaiden! I was referring to the milk bucket and glass bottles and strainer and such. Not her teets!:lol: I think I will just wipe her down with baby wipes before milking?

Im getting two dairy goats in a week or so and I am trying to get everything together that I am going to need. They are in milk now. Everything I read says to bleach equipment. I was wondering if you could put some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to disinfect after washing and again before...

Thank you everyone for offering your congratulations! I am super excited about this! I think that my husband is enjoying telling people...I think it makes him feel like a man. Know what I mean?

I tried to journal, but I couldnt keep up without posts being few and far between. I think Im going to start a blog (now that I will have more time) I will let you guys know! I always have things happen around the farm that I think "I should be taking pictures and writing about this"!

Well, I gave my notice yesterday! June 29th is my last day here, and the first day of the next chapter in my life! :weee

Sounds great! I have an awesome recipe for using garlic scapes! How much do you charge for the shares?

So, living in Central Wisconsin, what does a family typically get in their CSA basket from you? Do you do just vegetables? Or do you do eggs, fresh bread and such?

That is so awesome! What a sucess story! So, is the CSA where you make your money? Or do you do farmers markets? I hope you dont mind my asking.

Me&thegals, You said My husband sold some left over started peppers and tomatoes we had and I was amazed what people will pay for those! Especially since they are so easy to start from seed! Maybe next spring I will plant even more seeds and see if I can bring in some extra money! There is a...

Well, I have made up my mind. I will work through the end of June, then Im done. I will tell my boss on Monday (which will be hard). My kids are school age (11 &16) and I think they need me to be home for them. I remember all of the trouble I got into when I was home alone (a lot) and I want to...

The thing that always comes to my mind is "the love of money is evil" And, why is it that being a stay at home Mom is something that is frowned upon nowadays? Really? Do people think that by a wife and/or Mother not working means that she is lazy and depends on her husband? Well, yes, my...

Smackiesmammie, Well, I am still struggling with this. Im still working, and I want to be done at the end of June. I just keep pushing it farther and farther back. Soon, the summer will be over and my son will have spent the whole summer alone. Why am I such a chicken!?

Yes, I have a garden now. Actually, I told hubby that I need his big strong arms :love to till me up some more space. On top of all the other crops, I plan on growing corn, mangle beets for the chickens, and sunflowers for them. I ordered 100 each of wide and small mouth Tattler lids for all the...

In my office, it's me, a 62 year old lady and a commission salesman. He is worthless and she is retiring any day now. They will be screwed without me.

That is a great idea. Resigning is going to be a hard one for me. I work in a very small office and my leaving would definatly cause a stir. I just cant do it anymore though...I cant stand taking orders from another man. Not that my husband gives me orders, I just think that I should be working...
