We are still alive!

I'm sorry we have not been posting lately! We have had such a busy schedule lately! We have raised 250 broilers (meat chickens), 30 hens, 4 piglets, 3 steers and 25 turkeys, many of which are still on our grounds! We were blessed to take a weekend and visit Polyface Farms in Virginia. Joel Salatin is the chief farmer there and has written several books on farming that we have read and follow. He was also featured in the movie, "Food Inc." It was a great time of learning and we have already learned how to make our farm better and more efficient. I'll try and update again later with more about what we are doing here on the farm but until then, I'll give you a few pictures!
