Nutrient Dense Food
Here’s a couple pictures. One of them is our lettuce mix. The other is a nearby weed. Look at how chewed up the weed is and not the lettuce mix.

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
