I am not dead..

It has been both crazy and boring around here.
I will return in the very near future.
You so you know..you haven't missed anything. Nothing new, nothing old and nothing really 'farmy' going on.
We are beginning homeschool officially in a few weeks and the preparation for that has taken up large chunks of time, as have the holidays. Knit, knit, knit, knit....
So, please be patient and don't give up on me. I shall return.

A little about who we are and what we do:

In June of 2007 we bought an old farm place. It was a sad, neglected husk of a home.
Nothing bloomed.
There were no bees.
All of the shrubs had been cut to the ground. (gasp)

For the past year we have been working hard to bring life back to this farm.
We have planted blooming herbs
and put in a garden
and filled the barn with chickens once again.

Bees now buzz and roses bloom
and the sweet scent of bee balm
perfumes the summer wind.
And we were blessed with a bountiful harvest this year.

We give the glory of this new life to the sustainable practices we apply to all aspects of our farm.
We use no chemical fertilizers on our soil. We feed the soil and the soil feeds our gardens..
We use no pesticides on our gardens or our fields. Instead we plant blooming herbs and flowers to attract the honey bees to pollinate and to house predatory insects that feed on the bugs that feed on our plants.
We feed our livestock no animal by-products, instead choosing a natural and healthy feed mix. Much of it we grow ourselves so that we know it is the best.

Our efforts have been rewarded many times over with lush and fruitful gardens and with rich and healthful eggs.

And there is so much more that we can do and further yet to go.
We would like to share our journey and our bounty with you.
Thank you for visiting and
Welcome. One and all.
