About Me
Hey there!
I’ll be chatting here 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 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 (and in life in general) – 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 since 1990, as an electronics tech, then as network/applications specialist, now as a senior software support engineer for Digital Collections).
Finally bought a small farm (just under 6 acres) and now we have turkeys, chickens, bees, dairy goats and “cattle” (actually, one mini-Jersey dairy cow and one Dexter bull, but hey, more than one is cattle!). Oh yeah, and Northwest Farm Terriers – all nestled in the foothills of Northern Kentucky.
Now we teach different classes – like cheese making, how to make soap or lotion, 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), several hundred strawberry plants and over 100 high-bush blueberries.
We run a small CSA and intend to expand that as our experience (and customer base) grows.
To your health,
Pat Weber
