" Crap. I could have written that article, though it would not have been nearly as well said or interesting. It’s like the guy picked my brain and wrote about what he found, right down to the very last sentence. "

Ditto.

We're very insync.

I have a friend and a neighbor just down the road who got into the chicken & egg thing too.(He thinks a collapse is coming) He produces organic, open-range eggs...

I buy eggs from him that I don't even need at $2.00 a dozen just to encourage him and keep this source of food availabe. I boil the excess eggs I buy and feed them to my dogs.

We have a few goats too, but are looking to get pigmy goats. I may have the ones we have converted to hamburger. Most of my neighbors have over 15 head of cattle. I’m splitting one with one of my neighbors.

Honestly, the one thing I’m really trying to finalize is solar power. Interestingly, I’m in a “family band” where I’m the only non-family member. Everything they eat comes off their property. They gave me a bag of homemade mozzerella that was being kneaded when I arrived. When the father does work, he specializes in - get this - solar power installations. ;-)

Hope your dogs stay outside for a spell after eating them. Just sayin'. :)
