There is so much possibility with acreage. We close on our house very soon! Here my girls are holding hands exploring "the farm."
Of course, we save LOTS of money by growing our garden from seeds. I've seen seedling plants at ridiculous prices. My new gardening plot is about 90ft x40 ft. This will be one interesting canning season.
This is just a small dose of what we've started indoors. I've been reading about seed saving to make our dollar go that much further. I can't wait to eat sliced, garden fresh tomatoes!
I hope to start posting more as things settle down!
We have been getting eggs from a few of our hens for about 2 weeks now. They're free range birds, and this summer have hardly touched any bag feed. The cost of keeping our girls has been incredibly low! I can say with certainty, that knowing where our eggs are from, and providing food for my family is incredibly rewarding, on top of the money we save!
They are actually a bit older now (a little over two weeks) and are feathering out nicely. We have barred rocks and buff orpingtons. Their primary purpose is egg-laying, but they are for eating as well. We'll hold off though until they put on more weight, I'm not in the mood for Chicken Nuggets :)
