    FS: Maggie Kickwheel spinning wheel $50 shipped

    I can't spin. If I had a fiber animal or two, I would do it, but our family is in a bind and I have to let some things go. It has a new spindle and I'm asking $50 which includes shipping.

    Nigerian Dwarf goats wanted

    Trying not to sound like a drag, but you have to be careful breeding standard bucks to mini does. It usually means a bigger baby for the smaller does to push out.

    Info on dehydrating, shipping and rehydrating kefir grains

    Yes they do! Some of the smaller particles felt grainy though. I think I may have unknowingly made kefir butter. When I was trying to grab some of the chunks, I got this greasy yellow sweet smelling substance. The milk seems a bit watery and there are yellow bits floating. I originally thought...

    Sewing Machines

    I found a Morse Zigzag (I believe it's called) for $40 on Craigslist. When I got it, it did have a minor issue, but I fixed it myself. I love this machine! It is an older workhorse and weighs a bazillion pounds, and I can sew anything with it! from 2 layer thin fabric to heavy duty thick 8 layer...

    Info on dehydrating, shipping and rehydrating kefir grains

    So this is what I found today when I checked on my grains. I put the grains through a plastic sieve and poured cold bottled water on it. The milk, being non-homogenized, kind of encased the grains in cream, I think, or it was the milk being cultured by the grains. I rinsed as much as I...

    Info on dehydrating, shipping and rehydrating kefir grains

    I finally just got a chance to get some organic, non-homogenized milk to rehydrate my kefir grains! So far, looking good! Got a bit of a culture going on. I'll post some pictures when I can of the process. I just got a little plastic container, put the grains in, and poured enough milk to cover...

    Quinoa - anyone planted this?

    I think they just need to be sown directly. I also just read that when harvesting, you need to wash it several times to remove the saponins before eating.

    You have GOT to be kidding me............

    When I was that age, abstinence was taught and it just didn't work. I had many classmates that were sexually active, condoms were not frequently purchased, and of course, there were some that got pregnant by the time they reached high school, and many were pregnant or even having their second...

    New Baby stuff for under a hundred dollars

    That's really great! Make sure you check out if the crib has been recalled! There have been several recalls that were very serious. I was given a crib and it ended up being a recalled one and I was able to get a voucher and spent $45 for a brand new crib from Babies r us!

    Buy, sell, trade.....what do you have and what do you need?

    Well, if you're near Ceres, there's a place called Bond Worm farm and they have worms for $17/lb. There is also another person who offered $25/lb. I don't know if I'll be able to make it to Ceres though.

    questions about Livingston Seed Co

    in my opinion, any seed that is open pollinated is worth saving. Even though the seeds are not organic, if you grow your plants organically, then the seeds are organic.

    Black English Angora Doe - Modesto, CA

    1 yr, fully pedigreed, sheared at the moment. She had some matting on her feet that was pretty bad, but now healed up with just a small scab. Would be great as a wooler. Asking $50 for her, will barter for red worms or cast iron cookware.
