| Introduction | Exploring farming with an open mind and heart. First and foremost is our philosophy that everyone will live out their natural lives here. We have been vegetarian/vegan for almost 30 years now so while we hope everyone can contribute to the well-being of the farm and land we do so with respect and a view that all beings are created equal. I'll save the rest of the animal respect soliloquy for another post tho. Just want you to know from the outset so there won't be any misunderstandings and that when we speak of our family we do mean it in the full sense of the word. Other things we do that may not be the norm for some folk is being as holistic as we know to be. That starts out be designing our farm from a permaculture point of view. Rotationally grazing and keeping pastures rested. Having some of the chickens in with both the sheep and the goats to help keep parasites in check. And I make an herbal tonic that everyone gets to boost health that and we all eat kelp too! As a whole this seems to be working, everyone is hale and hearty but we have much to do and much to learn. |
