The girls are finally laying again after their winter break.
I will be buying new chicks this spring in hopes of a steady supply next winter.

Soft sunrise. It never gets old.
Contemplating the sacrifices I will practice during Lent.
Knowing I am weak.
But that is why we practice.

Usnea my latest medicinal discovery.
Also known as Old Man's Beard this lichen is an antibiotic, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiviral.
It also indicates a healthy ecosystem as it will not grow in heavily polluted areas.
Look for it after a storm as the winds will knock down old limbs where it likes to grow.
I found several hand-fulls on my walk this morning that got knocked down in last night's heavy rains.
When I have collected enough I will make a tincture that I can use to treat respiratory, urinary tract, bladder, and kidney infections.
This amazing plant can do so much I am learning it is a must have for my medicine cabinet.

Not true! 😁 This girl eats my grass and turns it into milk that feeds us and our pigs, dogs, and chickens. Any extra can be sold to people wanting to buy her milk. It's truly amazing.

Team work makes the dream work.
Husband and I moved over 600 pounds of hay from the barn to the field using available resources - mostly our hard work.
We are both in our 50's and grateful to be able to be this active. I am thankful Jeremy is so strong.
The saturated ground made things a bit messy. Instead of drive the truck in the field we had to lay down straw and roll it through the gate.
Love working beside this guy!

Beautiful sunrise.
Last Thursday our low was -8F with 8 inches of snow on the ground.
This morning it is 55F and the ground is saturated with melted snow and a few inches of rain.
Each sun rise was beautiful.
Appreciate where you are.
Adapt to your circumstances.
Always move forward.
The sun always rises

He loves to play in the snow and eat the ice. The Great Pyrenees are built for this weather, but we will bring them in if it is too cold so they can rest and warm up.
This amount of snow is unusual for our area of the United States.

Heavy clouds bringing light flurries as I walked the dogs this morning.
This next cold front will bring us back down to zero before we warm up to normal winter weather next week.
This extreme allows us to plan for more resilience going forward.
Use your challenges to get stronger.

With temperatures plunging to -8F and not getting above freezing this week we have had to work extra to make sure the livestock have water.
One tip I learned last year was to keep water in a large thermos. This works great for our sheep. The coldest temperatures only resulted in a thin layer of ice at the top of the container. At no point has it frozen solid. It also retains the heat longer when we pour in warm water.
Water is life.

My driveway. We have not driven on it since Sunday. I may venture into town tomorrow to replenish before the next weather event.
Plenty of food for my husband and I, cats and dogs. We are learning what it takes to fuel the livestock (cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens) in these extended frigid temperatures.

When I tell normies we butcher our own animals a common response is:
I could never do that.
We had "never down that" until we made a choice two years ago.
A choice to have more control over our food supply.
A choice to raise the healthiest food possible.
A choice to give our animals a good life.
And now we do it.
One of the best choices we have made.

My goal today is to keep these two little humans alive and well while mom and dad are at the hospital bringing number three into the world.
About 2 years ago, Norm and Aleska bought as much land as they could afford and moved from Indiana to Tennessee. The family lives off-grid in a trailer until they can build their own home.
Norm, handy and hard-working, struggles to find a good paying, reliable job. But here they are, doing their best.
I admire their determination.
No family nearby, they asked us if we could watch the boys during labor and delivery.
Of course! It is the least we can do.

I assembled a first-aid kit of home remedies for my adult children to keep in their homes.
Included is a spray bottle of Colloidal Silver. On it I list the benefits and uses.
Amazing!
We reach for our Colloidal Silver often on the farm. Animal has an open wound - spray CS on it. We spray it on our nose and eyes if we have been around sick people. A few squirts in my mouth if I feel a tickle in the back of my throat. So versatile.
Something to look into if you want to develop a more natural medicine cabinet.

All our animals are raised on pasture and rotationally grazed. We provide good food, minerals, fresh water and a healthy environment. We don't vaccinate. Over two years into this we have had many births and no losses to illness (other than chickens).

What breed of hog do you raise? We have Large Blacks.

I grew up in the 80's. We were told fat was bad. Carbs were good. And for a period of time eggs were bad. Teflon pans were a technological advancement.
Today's breakfast is eggs fried in lard (from our farm raised hogs) in a cast iron skillet.
Keep learning.
Question everything.
Eat real food.

Morning chores - view from the chicken run.
It may be freezing, but the view is spectacular.
Have a beautiful Wednesday!

Head of cabbage harvested from the garden.
Seeds started indoors in July.
Seedling transplanted outside in August.
Watered when the ground is too dry.
Covered to protect from freeze.
Harvested for dinner tonight.
Outer leaves shared with the cows.
Plant your seeds.
Tend your garden.
Share your abundance.

Depends on your goals. I would say you need more than 2 acres if you will want to grow food and have animals.

Dinner time for piglets. It's a full-contact sport.
This breed is callwd Large Black, a heritage breed that thrives on pasture and living in the woods.
This breed was a favorite with small farms until our food system became industrialized after WWII.
They are endangered, but the number of breeders are increasing.

Should weed be legal? TBH I have never smoked weed, but I do belive there are health benefits to CBD/cannabis/etc. So I am not completely opposed to its use.
As far as I know it is legal in most states.

A woman visited the farm yesterday.
She and her husband moved to our county two months ago.
She was seeking pasture raised, organic, no-soy, no-corn, non-GMO chicken.
Another local farmer pointed her in my direction.
I was able to help.
We connected as I walked her around the farm.
Local economy. Build community.

Quiet, foggy morning.
Hoping for some solid rain today after a very dry fall.
Our farm is not hooked up to city water. We rely on our well, water catchment and ponds to take care of all our water needs.
One becomes plugged into nature when they so intimately rely on it.

We convert solar energy via grass eating ruminants into beef, lamb and milk.
The pastoral setting is a bonus.

16 years ago we decided to homeschool our three young boys.
We believed we could educate our children better than the government. (And I believe that we did.)
The choice to homeschool placed us outside the system. Outside the norm.
I think that decision put us on the path to where we (my husband and I) are today - on property in the country, growing our own food, and questioning everything.
It is a good place to be.
