New Year

We are thinking about buying the cow this year, perhaps one of the cows from my friend Lisa, and also have an old horse to help us with the fields of hay. Part of our garden will be again just for us and canning, and we want to try again planting beets for the local organic cooperative; besides, beets are going to be a part of our cow and steer diet this next winter, we are going to try  to stay away from comercial food by growing roots and feeding them instead of a grain diet. The beets will be sliced for their daily consumption and stored in the cellar. Our chicken flock will be nurtured and -managed somehow- to stay away from our gardens, and we will have no pigs this year. I will try to post the development of this plan, and the days of working and plantings, as well as observations on the growth and health of the land and plants. Blessings on this New Year!
