I am so glad I found this thread. I want to study herbs for my family use. I would also love to be able in the future to sell herbs at our little farm stand. First I need to try to find out what is the best way for me to learn. There is a local woman that has her own business and offers...

I have came up with an idea that I want to happen. We have an outdoor woodstove. I thought about building a greenhouse by the wood shed and heating it will the woodstove. With that said, I need to figure out what greenhouse would be the best. I want to be able to grow food for my family in the...

I just love this video that I saw on youtube. It is a great video. It looks at farms, oil use, and other methods you can use to improve your farm. I believe it is very important for small farms to grow and produce local food as well as every person to try to grow some of their own food. Not...

Great ideas. The stand is starting to come alive. I have been doing two farmer's markets. I love one. The other one was new last week and that one I am not thrilled about. Green Beans are starting to come on strong, which is a good thing. I am learning as I go and still have a lot to learn.

We are doing both. I am here most of the time under the day, but we have a mailbox that people can put money in if we aren't here.

Things have been crazy here on the farm. THis spring my husband was laid-off. We decided to open up a farm stand. We have been planting like crazy. I can't wait until all the plants start producing. I have never sold produce before besides sweet corn and tomatoes. I need to learn how to package...

I just got done reading the whole thread. Thanks for all the great ideas. I have been eating my chickens fermented feed for 2 weeks now. It has cut down on my feed in half which helps a lot. I still would like my farm to be as SS as possible. I am looking at raising a bigger garden next year to...

Sounds wonderful. Meat rabbits are next on my list. I was hoping to start this year but next year seems to be the plan now.:)

We are in a drought. My garden isn't doing so well. I have never had a fall garden but since my first one didn't do so well I need to do something to fill the freezer and pantry. I would love input from others about what plants would do best. Thanks

My friend did the same thing with her son and he stopped wetting the bed in two weeks. I have tried to do the samething with food and it helped a little but he didn't stop. I will get some magnesium and try that. Thanks everyone.

He has never gone long without bed wetting. The longest time he has gone without wetting straight is 4 or 5 days. I think a lot of the problem is that he is a heavy sleeper.

I need help. My son who is five wets the bed everynight. I am getting tired of washing the sheets. He is getting worse in the last month. Last night be woke up and peed in his cloth diaper at 2 am. Then he went to the bathroom before putting another diaper on and going to bed. He peed in the...

I also sold some eggs this week. I don't sell mine for eating but for hatching. I am glad spring is coming. More people are wanting to hatch out chicks and ducklings.

Thanks everyone. I don't taste the wild in the meat but he says he has in the past. I have steaks in vinegar. We will try that tonight and see how it is from there. I love finding new ways to cook.

I have about 20 packages of Deer steak and 10 packages of Deer Loin in my freeze. I don't have any recipes on the best way to cook them. My husband is a deer hunter. In the past, we would just get the whole thing ground up. I would use the meat in chili, taco meat, and other things that you...

I also believe ducks are worth it. I raise Cayugas. I sell their hatching eggs. I also sell ducklings that I and they hatch out. They have paid for themselves year after year. I haven't ate any yet, but plan on raising several this year to eat. They are also great egg layers. We also eat their eggs.

I want one. It is beautiful.:D

We don't candle ours until we move them to a hatcher. I think the less you handle them the better but that is just us. I know a lot of people that candle them all the time. I also have known people that have dropped the eggs during candling them.

My mom has a sportsman incubator at her house. It is always running. I have been hatching like crazy. I am getting ready to put my Cayuga eggs in there this week. I just love being able to hatch out my own birds.

My plan is a homebirth with this baby. We have an appointment with the midwife Nov. 30. My husband still isn't 100% on board but I told him that I was the one carrying the baby and this is what I want. I watched the best DVD this week. It is called The Business of Being Born. I think everyone...
