    Given some bear meat now what?

    Is carp crap?

    I have had farm raised carp and it was ok. Nothing too spectacular. And with that I will emphasize...farm raised. The carp is a bottom feeder and any carp caught anywhere near civilization will have a whole laundry list of toxins from heavy metals on down in their flesh. And therein lies the...

    Thanks for the nice words and good wishes, guys. Athabaskar. We did not get this going till we were both 57 and have had a birthday since. Left a really hectic world almost twelve years ago and started the project only to be terribly interrupted with a seriously bad divorce. Christine and I...

    Moose Knoll Farm

    Well, Folks, things are really poppin' (out) here! Last night Lucy delivered two healthy lambs for us. Again a ram and a ewe. Lucy is named after our favorite redheaded comedienne, Lucille Ball. This ewe has the reddest face and legs so we felt it natural to go that way. The little ones are...

    Heirloom Gardening

    Yup! I agree with Bill; get the wood out. My compost heap is only grass clippings, leaves, old plants and some hay. Add a bit of rich soil, plenty of water and let it be. I compost my critters manure separately from my green compost as well. I pile the manure and hay from the barn floor and add...
