Things started getting hectic around here.This is my first kidding season as a new goat owner.It's been a little nutty.Maxine started things rolling here with the first baby of the season.She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl(Persnickety or Percy for short) on Jan 31.She turned out not to be too keen on the bottle.I was getting frustrated but we managed to get past that.
Okay...here's where I change the subject. Andrea James of James Family Farm has such a wonderful way of "hitting the nail on the head". I am trying to feed my family healthy locally produced food. To do that I've decided I can grow it all or at least find small family farms that can supply what I cannot grow. I raised 300 chickens last year. I could not find a "cheap source" for organic feed so I made the decision to find a local source for the best organic feed I could find. I discovered Marve Manges of Fizzle Flat Farm. I trust him to put the best grain available in his feed. He's not the cheapest but he is the best in my opinion. But in having made that decision I had to raise my prices and cut my production. I no longer am confident that there are that many people as concerned as I am about food safety. So I am only producing a limited number of birds. I'm rambling at this point but it's just time to get off here and do my chores.
Take a minute and read Andrea's blog...and also if you are interested in food safety and healthy food please do not hesitate to order from her. She is the real deal folks! She is looking out for all of us even if we aren't doing it ourselves.
