On the Family Farm
2006-Jan-10
Intro

About us....we are the 4th/5th generation of my family to live here on our small farm.  We have been here for three years.  Now that we are almost done with a remodel of  the house, my dh says the time has come that we can look into adding some animals to the farm!  The kids (3 of 'em, ages 8, 10, & 11) and I are so very excited!  He says we will start out with chickens - so what is your best advice?  Any good books I should read about raising chickens (layers only at this point) on a small scale?  Thanks!

I am looking forward to having a huge garden again this year.  I hope it does better than last year - it was so very dry & hot last summer.  Except for the early producers, we got next to nothing from the garden.    We just couldn't keep enough water on the plants. 

Anyway that is a little about us....
