    Since we are all in this game together...............

    We use to have dial-up :barnie and I was able view things on youtube but I had to download it all the way first (it may take a few minutes) then once it was completed I would just click replay and it would replay with no problems. If you could find the DVD it may be faster since there is 12 videos.

    How do you use your space?

    We have m/l 17 acres but we share the property with my parents though they do not keep any livestock or garden. We are planting about 2 acres in corn this year to help with animal feed cost. We have 2 acres fenced in for the calf and 1 for a pony. We plan to fence in around 3 acres for some...

    Homemade convenience foods? Tuna Helper, Mac & Cheese, etc.

    Langstroth vs. Top Bar beekeeping

    After doing alot of research on the hives I decided to go with the Topbar hive! I just got mine built by a friend and I am excited!! But I also plan to purchase a Lang and compare them for a year and see what I like and dislike about both. I like the idea of treating a topbar with powdered sugar...

    How much animal feed do you keep on hand??

    :frow I think it is a great idea! We are planting field corn to help with feed cost but I also want to try mangels. We have a lot of green leafy veggies for the rabbits and of course the pigs are not real picky so any thinnings/veggie scraps will go to them or the chickens. I hope next year we...
