REAL COLD SNAP NOW

NOT MUCH TO REPORT OTHER THEN A LOT OF WORK
ORDERING SEEDS AND PLANTS
WORKING IN THE SLOW GOING GREEN HOUSES
STARTING MORE SEED
REMOVING SNOW AND REMOVING SNOW
CARING FOR CHICKENS
WORKING A CLEANING JOB NOW
CANNED ALL THE CHICKEN, BEEF & PORK BROTH
CANNED THE LAST OF THE BUTTERNUT SQUASH


SORRY THAT I HAVE TO SAY I STILL ONLY HAVE DRIED HERBS AND MINTS
I DRIED THE BROCCOLI THAT DID NOT SELL

CASH ITEMS
EGGS
SORRY TO SAY BUT, AS OF FEB. 1, 2011 THE PRICE OF EGGS IS GOING UP
THEY WILL BE $3.00 A DZ. AND $3.25 FOR JUMBOS
MY FEED HAS GONE UP NOW 3 TIMES THIS WINTER ALREADY A JUMP OF ABOUT $90.00
THIS PRICE INCREASE REALLY JUST MAY COVER THE COST OF THE ABOVE BASIC FEED AND THE OYSTER SHELL AND ADDED GRAINS I BUY TO FEED THEM
REALLY DOES NOT COVER ALL THE COSTS LIKE THE ELECTRIC (for lights in coupes, water pump and hot water tank running), SAWDUST FOR THE COUPES, COLD MED. (which is like us using Vick's is made of herbs), VINEGAR (I add to their water instead of wormier or antibiotics), building supplies, water dishes, feed dishes and BUYING NEW CHICKS WHICH THEY HAVE GONE UP ABOUT A DOLLAR EACH IN THE LAST YEAR (use to get a day old chick for $1.00 or less each if by the 100 now they are close to $3.00 ea.) you always lose a few.

CHEESES
(Keep a selection of the conventional cheeses which are no hormones or antibiotic milk)
( If you want the Goat, Organic or 100% Grass Fed you have to let me know several days ahead so I can order what you would like)

OF COURSE WE HAVE A SELECTION OF OUR HAND MADE PRODUCTS
BEES WAX CANDLES (cotton wicks)
WOOD FRET WORK
CRAFTS ( angles, purses, rugs & other items to go with the doll furniture, wall hangings such as the garden pockets, pin cushion chairs and pin cushion beds and much more)
BAKE GOODS BY ORDER
(Pies, cookies and more just ask - made from scratch and with our eggs, fruit, berries, veggies, and organic ingredients)

I HOPE ALL OF YOUR NEW YEAR IS GETTING OFF TO A GREAT START
ANY 2010 MEMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE MEMBERS IN 2011 AND HAVE FORGOTTEN TO SEND IN A DEPOSIT YOU HAVE A COUPLE MORE WEEKS BUT, YOU WILL NOT GET THE 10% FARM ADD ON

CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE GREENS TO BE PACKABLE IN THE GREEN HOUSE
I KEEP TALKING TO THEM BUT, IT IS NOT HELPING
