It Starts....

Fitting that our journey begins on Independence Day. The main reason that we want to farm is to provide a healthy, wholesome lifestyle with a goodly measure of independence from genetically modified, pesticide treated, manure fed foods. Eventually we'll start working toward generating our own power and growing our own animal feed. Then... I'll build a wall around the whole place and flip the bird to the rest of the world. (Just kidding.. I won't really flip anyone off.)

Craig's mum and dad, Pat and Brian, are here from England for a visit. I love having them here to enjoy the serenity with us.

We set off fireworks and ooohed and aaahed appropriately. The fireworks successfully masked the smell of Mo, the resident goat stud. (Remind me to talk about billy goat stink some time.) Unfortunately, the big bam booms scared the bejeebus out of him. He got over it, though.

He's a big boy and will make us some good goat babies in March or April.
