We’ve been a little busy on non-farm related stuff lately. As stated before, we bought a fixer upper so we’ve been concentrating on getting some much needed repairs done before winter.

Picked up our 20 week old chickens today. Here they are on the right meeting the existing chickens on the left. Also planted some black… Continue reading May 7, 2011
