Does anyone know why there would be a shortage of Bragg's ACV? Or maybe it is available in your area. But in the two stores I am aware that sells it, it seems to sell out within a day of getting a shipment. Maybe the general public is catching on to its goodness. On this subject, did I read on...

Hi, and Welcome, from Missouri! Be sure to read the old threads, too. Lots of valuable information!

Rhoda, maybe there is an old "healer" around. I don't know how you would find her, or him, except to ask around. But I envision the South as having a "Poke Salad Annie" around to ask about herbs. If that is stereotyping, I only mean it in a good way. Oh, and Dawn has mentioned that she can...

Beautiful farm you have. I guess you have looked at it on Google Earth? I love doing that. Welcome to the forum. You will find several kindred souls here. :)

Hey from Missouri! :frow

Regarding adding the bran back into flour, I just read on the blog "Nourished Kitchen" that it is the bran part of the wheat that has all the phytic acid in it. Phytic acids are reportedly why grain is hard to digest. So even eating fermented whole wheat you are still getting some phytic acid...

I just found another name for our fire cider tonic recipe on a WAPF-type forum; there it is called Master Tonic. Looks just like ours. BTW, I mixed up some tonic on September 3. I finally got it out this morning and tried it. Wow! I used rosemary and sage in my tonic, as well as the other...

Oh! This brings back memories of my DH and I trying to give medicine to our two very cranky cats. :hide I suppose using a big funnel-shaped collar on him would just make him madder?

Are bay trees cold hardy?

So interesting how much difference there is in regional prices. I guess that's kinda like trying to start Mom's Chocolate Factory if you live in Hershey, PA. :rolleyes:

Rhoda, this is just my opinion, but I think the wood needs more moisture to rot than the herbs need to grow strong and potent. (And I understand that herbs don't want fertilizer, for best potency) If I had some logs I would just dig a hole and bury them, then maybe in two years plant something...

My opthamologist gives me the "medicare allowable" price on care, since I am non-insured at the moment. That is as much as a 50% discount. My rheumatologist is in with a big hospital conglomerate, but still gives a 15% discount if I pay at time of service. At big department stores, if you are...

Oh, Yes we have op shopping here; just hadn't heard it called that before. Our local Salvation Army store recently priced all their kids clothes 6X and down, at 10 for $1.00. By the time I got there, two women were pretty much ravaging the clothing bins, so all I could get my hands on were a...

Those are a lot of things to think about. You might find it easier to put a "Fresh Eggs" sign out in your yard. (If you have not already done this) But don't sell yourself short, regardless. $2.00 is pretty cheap. People who really appreciate farm eggs will pay more for them. At $2.50, it's...

Hi, and Welcome! What's op shopping?

Wow, littlemama, if your husband is gone for a month at a time, you are already living a 'self-sufficient" life. Are you looking for ways to save money, prepare for crises, simplify life or change food habits? Welcome to this forum. What are you interested in? Do you garden? Trying to live...

Heather, I take medicine that lowers my immune system, so I am always looking for ways to boost it. I found a product called Trivera, on the net, that has Andrographis, Goldenseal and Echinacea in it. Also it has vitamin D3 and a prebiotic. It works well for me. Not too expensive, either. And of...

The place I buy from delivers to a pick up spot about 2 hours away. I wonder if a group of you could take turns meeting a milk producer half way. Two hours trip once every two months, if there are a number of you, wouldn't be too bad. It would take a lot of cooperation from all concerned, but...

Go to Real Milk.com where you can find out who sells it near you.(there may not be a space between real and milk) that's how I found a supplier. Keep in mind that some states prohibit the sale of raw milk for human consumption, so you may have to jump through a few hoops.

From what I read, neither of those keep fresh very long, either. Maybe a year tops on the olive oil? And ground coffee, well, it gets stale very quickly.Too bad she couldn't have left the stocking up on dry goods up to you, Heather. At least you could have bought a variety. :/ Maybe you could...
