We raise chickens, horses and ducks on our farm in Virginia and I love finding new farm blogs.

What a novel thought! I am being facetious, but I think so many of my students don't know what we are talking about. They are given 2 free meals a day, half of which they throw in the trash. They spend money on lattes on their way to school. At least they walk and aren't driven. You harken back to a simpler and better time in our world when people knew their neighbors and cared for one another. We do a lot of what you have suggested, but we could be so much better.

I'm hoping to trade some of our eggs for their milk or fiber. Then we might be able to help them on their property in exchange for their honey. We all need to start thinking this way!Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-64608195758250254942012-12-07T14:23:42.896-06:002012-12-07T14:23:42.896-06:00Such a great post!

I'm with you, I don't want to be a downer but on the other hand, I do think we live in uncertain times and it's always a good thing to know more about being self sufficient not less... good for you my farmgirl friend...

All your actions and ideas are very good, I especially like the idea of bartering (and I'm' not above begging myself!). The Fiscal Cliff talk is scary, but in my opinion, we, the people, should not panic, but as you said, prepare and prepare to survive on our own. I will definitely be looking into trying my hand at a spring garden here (or at least after the New Year when I can concentrate on such things).<br /><br />Today I actually heard people talking about the Mayan calendar ending, etc. That's a whole other thing isn't it? But certainly less of a reality than what's going on with our government and society. As I have understood it, the "end of the world" talked about in association with the Mayan calendar is not necessarily the end of earth and life on earth, but the end of some aspect of our lives as we know them. Perhaps this Fiscal Cliff will be part of that. Now I sound like a crazy radio talk show host...<br /><br />May we live in interesting times... and we do! Almost finished with my pay it forward project!

When I was growing up, we lived in a farming community. Going 'in to town' was a big deal. I think it's great that you coordinate your trips with your neighbors.
