If the processing plant is shut--- it can slow down the product's arrival to the store shelves. Farmers cannot afford to feed them, or house...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My first spuds are peaking through the soil. That was a relief. I am hoping the rest come up. Half of my peas are up. The other half are not. Not sure why...

    Coronavirus Concern Up

    I had some problems with my water bed for my seedlings. Apparently, the new heater works 10x better than the old one...lesson learned. But I do have an order of plants coming in for the garden from the hardware store. I have connections in management. So, we will have some tomatoes. Our stores...

    Coronavirus Concern Up

    Absolutely. I have some roasts, and a ham to can in the freezer. I have broilers to process in 3 weeks. I have 1/2 beef and a hog ordered from the slaughterhouse down the road.

    Cornish Cross Spring 2020

    I had too! I swore I never would have them again, but these are really good. They are not like the show quality reds, but they are much better than what I have seen. Cackle also has the hefty White Rocks too. Everything I get from them I enjoy.

    Coronavirus Concern Up

    Folks, I believe that we are about to enter a lull. A sense of cautious normalcy will emerge, but I think the worst is ahead of us. I think now is the time to prepare more, grow more, and learn more. That's not just for you hoard away and be selfish with either. That is in the hopes that you can...

    Cornish Cross Spring 2020

    Seems like I remember the broody rooster!! I definitely will get more White Rocks in the future. This last batch of RIR I got from Cackle have been great too. I had a broody one last fall, and they are big birds. They also have a wonderful dark coloring and lay great brown eggs. Much better than...

    If they weren't so efficient, I would hate to raise them.
