I've purchased 5 cubic yards of composted manure this week. We've been busy this winter preparing both our existing garden as well as new beds for spring, and by my count we've brought in 22 cubic yards of compost total ( Read more... )

what do you do with goat poop?

What *one* does with goat poop is compost it and spread it around your garden.

What *we* do with goat poop is let our dog eat it, because she is much faster at eating it than we are at preventing her from doing so.

Unless, of course, you're shielding your mouth!

Nice summary. I am glad that you have been able find a lifestyle that is so comfortable for you. BTW, you need to go back and read the book post. I asked if you wanted a book and got no answer.

Participating in food production has felt at times like taking a step back. I'm buying things that aren't terribly eco-friendly; things I never would have purchased before becoming a farmer.

I've noticed that, reading this journal, gigglingwizard's journal, and learning about the local farms around me. Doing everything eco-friendly would be so prohibitively expensive that it wouldn't even be worth it anymore. Getting our food production to a truly green level will take decades if not longer. In the meantime, I'm glad you're doing what you're doing, regardless of how imperfect it must be at times. You're doing what many people have dreamed of but lacked the initiative or opportunity to actually engage in.

Ditto this.

I watch with admiration.

Thank you.

thank you. that --and the work itself, which is so perfectly *honest*, as Wendy kept saying today-- is what keeps us going, and loving it. :)
