What keeps you busy, Angie?
Since late winter I have been busy doing some things on this little farm of ours. "Like what?" you may ask.
Well, let's see. We have -
-built honey bee hives and installed 2 hives with queens.
- hatched geese (buff dewlap toulouse, grey dewlap toulouse, sebastopols, embdens and some mixed mutts)
- hatched ducks (silver appleyards)
- hatched chickens (blue/black/splash and buff orpingtons)
- hatched guineas (giant pearl)
- hatched turkeys (broad breasted and standard bronze)
- hatched coturnix quail (brown and golden)
- started a meat rabbitry - and seen the first mammals to be born on this little farm (Californian whites)
- bottle fed bucklings to sire my herd (2 nubian boers)
- got lambs (freisian milk sheep crosses)
- got a pig (pretty little hampshire girl)
- started a meal worm farm (for which to feed my quail)
- got kefir grains and culture my own kefir
- have scoby coming for my own kumbocha (yum living foods!)

I just found your site today. I feel like I have a friend already. You are living the life I've always wanted. I have just learned how to can and was doing some searching and that is how I found your site. I'm having a lazy day, you make life look wonderful!
I have been researching breeds of pigs for a future time period. I looked into the Tamworths because they are supposed to do well on forage. So, I am curious as to how you chose your feeder piglet's breed.
Do you have any links for building a bee hive as you have done? I'd like to read more on the subject.
I made your incubator and posted about it on my site. I gave you credit.

Have youe read Animal Vegetable Miracle? You could give Barbara Kingsolver a real run for her money!

Oh My God, reading that list makes me realize I have GOT to stop hiding in the AC and get out there and DO SOMETHING! Thanks for the kick in the butt. We have a lot of animal-stuff going on here, but a totally neglected garden.
