Faith Farm

Thoughts and great website (cheese)

Good Morning All!  I hope this finds you all well.  This week is always an exciting time for me--The last week of the year!  It is the time that I look back at all we have done in the year and make plans for the new.  I love to get out the notes from a year ago's plans and see what we accomplished and how they have changed.  So much happens here on the farm that is really hard to keep up with what happened when and it is a joy to realize all that has been done in the past year.  It is also fun to look at what was top priority in January 2008 and what is top priority in 2009.  It really shows if you are staying on track or if God has us going in another direction and how we have moved with that.  It's also a time to plan for the new years planting season.  Over the last couple of years gardening has gone from a 'have to do' to a real pleasure.  I do so look forward to planting now.  Deciding on what we we will plant and how much-what worked well last year and what didn't-How to improve--It's all alot of fun.  Every year I like to try something new in the garden and this year I still have not decided what that will be.  DD wants to grow purple potato's...I'm just not sure about that one yet-LOL.

Everything else is going fine here--Eight weeks and counting until kidding season begins...Fresh milk on the horizon!  I also found an amazing website on cheese making with great pictures---

Anyone interested in making cheese should check out this site--alot of hardwork has gone into it, you will easily see.  I was impressed.  Does anyone else have a great homestead skill site they want to share?  Hint-Hint

I hope you all have a truely Blessed New Year>faithfarm
