Our meat chickens from May 23rd still have not been processed. We have had our name on a local butchers list for over a month. He had a family tragedy and apparently is not doing any butchering. We have made several phone calls but have been told every time "he's making calls tonight, he might call you". So, that's life.....we have since made some phone calls and found a licensed processing facility in the Valley area. It's going to be a long drive for our birds but they need to be done asap. September 12th is the day they meet their fate. Until then they will continue to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and lots of garden veggies/greens.
These are my stories of our small family farm as we are learning to grow as much of our own food as possible. It's also about our family adventures off the farm. We enjoy camping and make wonderful memories during our camping adventures. And I will, now and then, write about my personal journey with common things most of us struggle with....like weight loss or weight gain....
A Small Homestead
Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.
