Tick season is in full swing here, so I thought I’d repost a review of the best tick protection that we’ve found for our dogs. We’ve continued to use these collars with great results, and they’re the best value, too. We get them on Amazon for $21.50, and that’s 6 months of protection! Product Review: Scalibor […]

Goat Kids We have an adorable addition to the homestead, two goat kids! They are Alpine does, which we purchased from George’s Mill Farm. If you’re wondering why their ears look green, it’s because they were just tatooed before I brought them home. The lighter colored one was born on March 9th and the tan one on […]

Happy Friday! As we wrap up the week, it was cold, but productive. I posted a lot of this week’s activities earlier in the week, but there’s a bit more to talk about today. The Cold! Right now it’s a whopping 9 degrees outside. That’s so cold, it’s a hand warmer day! There’s just nothing like […]

Posted in dogs, Meat Chickens, tagged dogs, food, homestead on November 10, 2014 | Leave a Comment »
We save the hearts and livers when we process chickens. We’re pretty big on fully utilizing everything on the homestead, and with animals we’ve processed we feel that’s especially important. With this batch we decided to dehydrate the hearts and livers to be used as dog treats. First I sliced each one so it was thin […]
How to Make a Raised Bed, with Some Help From the Hens
Posted in Garden, Layers, tagged chickens, dogs, gardening, hens, homestead, raised beds on September 4, 2014 | Leave a Comment »
Step One: Wheelbarrow over a lot of rocks. Arrange them to make a border. Step Two: Lay out cardboard to smother grass, weeds, etc. (In retrospect, I would lay out the cardboard before setting out the rocks, that way the cardboard could be under the rocks. It was hard getting the cardboard over the greenery […]

A couple weeks back I planted some seeds in pots. Well, then these ruffians knocked over the pot with the sage seeds! It’s actually the rightmost pot in front of Molly in the picture, not knocked over yet. When the pot was knocked over, the dirt and seeds spilled all over, and sage seeds are […]

We have some wonderful homestead dogs. These poor dogs have had some struggles with homestead ticks, though. Our region is a hotbed of tick activity, unfortunately. I spoke to the vet about the problem, and she recommended a product that’s a new import the US market from Europe. It’s a Scalibor Tick & Flea Collar. […]
