This farming thing just got real, folks. I signed today on 10 acres and a big building (electric! cement floor!) that I'm going to turn into a barn and raw milk herdshare operation.

Good morning to my sunshine
Even on a dreary day, Bessie makes me feel like I've won a million bucks. Bessie and the Terrible Twosome are successfully clearing the church driveway ditchline. Who knew that goats and a cow are better than a weedeater???
