So I haven’t taken any pictures yet of the chickens that Brent sent me back down to NC with but he gave me 3 bantam hens for laying. After watching Food, Inc. I’m fairly down with any way I can take care of and harvest my food myself so this is pretty exciting. So no … Read More
It was a long drive down to Brent’s in NoVA and I was tired but happy to be back stateside (which sorta surprised me!). I love the service areas in the upper east coast but being so early in the morning none of the shops were open until I hit Maryland. I walked through the … Read More
