The Interim...

The egg on the bottom left was our last fresh egg. The other two are the Eggland's best.

It pains me to say we have now sold all of our chickens and our ducks. We enter in to an interim period between suburban farmer and full time farmer. We are going to work on getting our backyard into something renters can easily handle and that will not bring us any lawsuits. We have used up all our own eggs... Store bought eggs are not the same at all... We bought some Eggland's best and even some "Cage Free Organic Eggs." I will go into it in much more detail but nothing compares to an egg laid in your own back yard by a chicken that actually saw sunlight and could clean itself in dirt and not feces.

    We do have 10 fingerling tilapia growing in our 20 gallon aquarium right now. We just revamped our garden to have a good sized fall salad garden with lettuces, spinach and carrots. Other than that, we are focusing our efforts on saving and raising money to buy the farm. In the meantime, we are working on skills useful for farm life. We are widening our cooking selections by trying new techniques and recipes. I made his and her scented soap last weekend and will work on building a cold frame soon. I will try to keep everyone informed on our progress about once a month amidst the farming and food related articles and posts.
