It's been a while since I sat down long enough to think about blogging, about a year. The homestead has grown and we have just over 40 animals. And it's no surprise that the work has grown too. We've come a long way since I started keeping laying hens. Those were my first foray into producing some of our own food outside of growing a veggie garden. We now have pigs, meat birds, a few goats, two new small flocks of laying hens and a dog! Oh, and our cat still masterfully keeps us all in line and guessing as to what she will and won't eat from one given day to the next.
I'm in the thick of reaping the rewards from the gardens and have paused long enough to see how much our little farm has grown at Chicken Hill. Pretty impressive for two folks, (Rob and I), that have off the homestead jobs.
