Pure Milk
Taken with my iPhone, so not the best quality, but still…
Frigid milking frustration
The good part first. Gerty is giving us a really nice yield of milk, and I think it might improve a bit more over the next week or so as she settles back into life at The Ozark House (and, … Continue reading
It’s time to say it: Monsanto is doing evil

Hay Agony
Gertrude is my favorite thing on the farm right now (besides the people). But, like all living things, she must eat. And lately, we’ve been learning a bit more about what she needs, what she wants, and the opposite of … Continue reading
