Late February Post.

Speaking of knowing where your food comes from... This is a picture of my Red Holstein Calf just hours after it was born. He was my first calf that I had the privilege of being able to bottle feed and raise until the time of harvesting. Not only are animals that are raised locally, processed better, they are also better quality. People that take the time to feed their animals correctly will have better quality products produced in the end. It's just like farming any kind of produce. If you treat your plants with the right fertilizers and are using the right envoirment, you are going to get a better more natural product. 

Supporting local farmers, not only benefits the farmers it also benefits the consumer by getting a higher quality product. When supporting local farmers you are also making the choice to help support your community. 

Think before you eat. 

March blog #1

We have been on the topic of food lately and it really makes me grateful that I know where most of my food comes from. This may look like a dirty pig to you and you may be thinking "oh I would never eat that" because it's too dirty or gross. Sadly this pig is cleaner and 100x better quality than any of the meat you buy at the store. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to raise my own meat. Knowing where your food comes from is good, but when you have known and raised the animal from the time it was delivered to the day it is slaughtered is rare. BUY LOCAL! SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS! That's all :) 

Oh and that Aubrey in the picture.

She's the newest pig and was having fun in the mud today after feeding. 

Totally forgot to write a blog... Oops

Well because I forgot to write a blog in the beginning of February I'll just write one now. I feel like I should write something about valentines day because that's all people seem to think about when it comes to February. 

Well first of all I'm not a very big fan of valentines day, I never have been. I just think it's kind of a stupid "holiday" and it's even worse when you actually have a significant other. I think it's pointless to have to get all dressed up to go out to dinner or send someone flowers or get a bunch of gifts. I think it's really over rated and a waste of time/money. Another thing I don't like about valentines day is that it turns it into a competition between girls to see who got the most roses, who got the bigger teddy bear, who went to the fancier restaurant. And that again leads back to the waste of time and money part. 

Anyway long story short I don't like valentines day, I just like to pretend it's just another day. 

I can't....

I absolutely can not stand when people always need a step by step plan of what's going on for a night. I'm more of a go with the flow kinda person and when someone is constantly asking what's going on and what "the plan" is drives me insane. I like just letting plans fall together with out putting much effort into them, but too many people I know are not like that. I understand that people want to have an idea of what's going on but don't ask me for every detail of the night just let it happen and have fun. 

Blogggg...

Finally got this thing set up...
