Natural Harvest Farm - Jan 06, 2010 - By Rodney
Our poor chickens and in their houses with straw on the floor to keep them warm and plenty of warm water, yet they have to stand at the door and look out, knowing full well a trip in the snow may be one way. The geese have even given up after the total on the...

Brrr! 17 degrees, dark clouds, and frigid winds today! But I'm nestled happily in my warm cannery, trying to replace some of our depleted inventory from Christmas sales. Also working on taxes, billing, and organizing the curriculum...
