Melody, I've milked cows. It's not as glamorous as you might imagine, lol.



I didn't have time for much of a garden this year, but I picked the first of the tomatoes and the cucumbers are as big as my fore arm. Also have sweet hungarian peppers. The lettuce went to seed already, don't know what's with the cilantro - it was out there somewhere.

No pesticides, all natural. I make my own compost.

I get meat up the street, it's all local. They have pictures of some of the cows/pigs if they won ribbons at the fair. They all lived right here where you'd drive past them in their field. Not some factory farm animals, real grazing stock like the old days.

You'd like the big farmer's market with the local produce here in town. You like sweet corn? You should see it, by the truck loads!
