About Us
Welcome! Here we’ll be chatting about everything farm-related… that could mean legislation, government intrusion, end-times, health (farm animal and people), news, nutrition ( more news), family life on the farm, weather, seasons, and, well… you get the idea.
I will be doing most of the writing on this blog. But my lovely wife has her own blog, too. You can hear all about goats and things on Marilyn’s blog, “goatwoman” – just go HERE
But back to my blog…
Got a comment? Speak up! I don’t like to hear myself speak that much -I want to know what you know and what you wanna know about any of these topics!!!
Here you can learn about the pitfalls and successes of “going backward” in agriculture – no chemical fertilizers, defoliants, hormones, antibiotics, etc., for our plants or livestock. Hopefully we can pass on tips for you, too…
Both Marilyn and I were born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. We moved to Reno, NV and eventually bought 12 acres. We raised dairy goats (Toggenburg), chickens, children, and had a few fruit trees.
Gannett Corporate transferred me to the office in Cincinnati, OH, so we sold and moved in October, 2000 ( I have worked for Gannett for over 18 years, as an electronics tech, then as network/applications specialist, now as a senior support engineer for Digital Collections).
Finally bought a small farm (just under 6 acres) and now we have turkeys, chickens, bees, and dairy goats. Oh yeah, and Northwest Farm Terriers – all nestled in the foothills of Northern Kentucky.
Now we teach cheese making classes, how to make soap, lotion and some basic eco-farming, bio-intensive gardening, square-foot gardening practices, and other things.
We’ve helped some people with goat questions, and we love to share our experiences and knowledge with others.
We also have a small orchard (45+ fruit trees) and will probably be starting up a u-pick blueberry orchard in the spring.
To your health,
Pat
