One week away from tomato seed sowing! I have a tradition of planting my first tomato seeds on the first day of spring. Working on a complicated list this year and some big changes coming my way this spring as far as my gardens are concerned.

We have always grown our own food as a way of saving money, but with the increasing rise in grocery store prices, we have to be creative in finding ways to save on the foods we don’t produce ourselves.

Bartering is one of the greatest ways we have found to do so! Trading our plants, seeds and produce for honey, meat, eggs, syrup, and homemade cleansing and hygiene products saves us hundreds of dollars per year and facilitates a sense of community as we get to know other local farmers and makers.

This morning, I traded two lemon seedlings for these gorgeous eggs! Breakfast is served 😀

Unlike most mixed farms we won't be focusing on grain tho it's a necessity of the cattle operation and other animals who feed off it. We will be mainly focusing on a system running the farm as a business not just as a farm.

And alot more I'm sure I'm forgetting.... We will dream big and see where we land.

At the end of the day the payments will be coming in either way so why not grow it.

Canadian dairy farmers are under fire for feeding palm oil to their cows in order to produce more butter, which is in hot demand for home baking during this pandemic. However, it's made the butter harder at room temperature, and lit another firestorm of controversy about public trust in the food system.

How do we feed our pigs?
Duck w**d & cat tails
Grain & hay ground fermented in milk for 24 hours.

Milking the cows and keeping the cream for the farm and the rest skim milk we feed the pigs to make piggy porridge. Doing it this way it's very efficient and gives the pork much more nutritious diet then typical soy. It's a proven tested method. It's why our pork tastes as great as it does. Cat tails more biomass then any other product and also more nutrients.
