It is very generous of both of you to share your knowledge with all of us. And it is a deeply political act that you do so! Good grief I sound like an old hippy! Oh, I am an old hippy! Bummer, when did that happen?<br />xx00Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-90296274554669674772010-01-19T13:04:22.528-05:002010-01-19T13:04:22.528-05:00I am learning a lot about farming/lambing through ...I am learning a lot about farming/lambing through your blog.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-74062079332188875002010-01-19T09:46:07.974-05:002010-01-19T09:46:07.974-05:00Gosh, I just love this blog!

My grandparents immigrated from the Azores and farmed vegetables, and one of my strongest and joy-filled memories is of visiting their chicken coop every Sunday after church to feed the chickens. I'm thinking of moving back to RI to my hometown this year to reclaim some of that joy. Reading about your sheep and looking at the gorgeous photographs makes me excited for the possibilities ahead of me.

As I'm trying to be more mindful with my food consumption, I would be open to any ideas you have for us who live in the city areas. How can we consume foods in a way that treats are resources better. Besides summer farmer's markets, I'm at a loss.geramyumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536149446056212401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-9313422381997259712010-01-18T22:53:14.377-05:002010-01-18T22:53:14.377-05:00What a great post! thanks for taking time to put t...What a great post! thanks for taking time to put this together!

Do you sell it to a woolmill or do you toss it away? Here in Norway most of the wool is sold to an agricultural cooperative, it pays bad, but we can usually pay off the shearer...marithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464504756605202290noreply@blogger.com
