Oh, Yay!! A big box of hope and inspiration arrived today.
I also picked up a couple awesome goodies at an antique shop!
A Kraut Pounder…turning that huge cabbage from the farmer’s market into lacto-fermented sauerkraut tomorrow!
Bellows! I have been looking for a functional bellow. Bellows? Not sure. Anyway, I wanted one and today I found one. Great condition… $12.00. Can you believe that? I couldn’t!
An amazing book called “Feeds and Feeding ” written in 1907 and updated in 1950 by a Cornell University Pprofessor. It covers the feeding of swine, dairy and meat cows, chickens, horses and mules and sheep! It also outlines the different feed components/options and the benefits and drawbacks of each. Brilliant! We so often, as homesteaders or small farmers, rely on bagged feed for our animals, but this book goes in depth into the how and why. Jessica and I were reading and discussing it in the car on the way home…oh, and all that wonderful information for a scant $3.00!
