Thank you to everyone who contributed to our 2011 Christmas Gift Catalog! We had a great response this year. People showed the most enthusiasm in donating towards animals. With the funds that came in, we were able to buy four cows (two for meat and two for milk), two pigs, and one hundred baby chicks.
We will soon be adding two more pigs and thirty more laying hens. Then, once we have more pasture fenced off, we plan to buy one or two more steers.
We’re making progress towards our goal of self-sustainability, meaning that a large portion of our food intake will come right from the property we live on. Many of the animals will be used for meat within the next year and unbelievably, the new chicks will be ready to be made into chicken nuggets in about 40 days.
