I have never been a big fan of the online game, Farmville. I just could never see the attraction to it when I had my own farm right outside. If I wanted to farm, I just needed to walk outside and go fill up a waterer or muck a pen. However, somewhere around 60 million […]
Fattening Pigs In the past, animals were seen to have two distinct phases of their lives: Growing the frame and Fattening. Animals would be raised in near starvation situations for years until it was time to put fat on, in which they would then be fed all the food they needed in order to reach […]
I don’t know what it is about pigs, but I love raising them. Of all the animals we have, pigs have been the easiest to take care of, needed the least attention and hey, they give us bacon. But don’t forget the other fantastic product they give us: Lard Eww lard, right? I know that’s […]

In Central America, India and Sri Lanka, a disease has been rampaging through farmers for the past 30 years. This disease is called CKDu or Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown etiology, meaning that nobody knows what causes it. It seems to occur most often in poor farmers who do hard labor in hot areas. Farmers […]
Not that any of us are surprised. You all know about Monsanto, “The most evil company in the world” of course. Their GMO’s have been linked to fatal kidney disease in humans, tumors in rats and the crop failures cause a farmer suicide every 30 seconds. Monsanto and their GMOs have been banned in 50 […]
A good friend of mine prides herself on how immaculate her chicken coop is. Granted she only has about five chickens, but it seems as though the droppings have only barely hit the floor before they’re cleaned up. She cleans it morning and evening and it’s so clean you can eat off the ground (okay, […]
It’s 9:45am and the San Bernardino County Inspector was supposed to be here at 9:30am. Hopefully she won’t be much later. I’m very nervous. Not because I think there’s anything wrong with our kitchen, but because once you invite county onto your property, they now are looking around at everything. I might get approval for […]
I have been making caramels like crazy here in preparation of heading out to the Farmer’s Market and once again I have run out of vanilla extract. The local market here sells little dinky bottles of vanilla extract for nearly 8 bucks and I’d have to drive an hour to Costco to get a decent […]
