We agree! And now that we’ve found a neighbor that raises pork, we’ll be set as soon as I start raising meat chickens. I want to get my current egg-laying ‘girls’ up and producing, first.
There was a gap of a few years there when I wasn’t raising my own meat and didn’t have chickens, but Beau has raised meat animals since childhood, so he’s been a great teacher. He’s totally in LOVE with the baby chicks so far. :)
Ask me about the ‘Spaghetti Squash Growing in the Lawn Year’ some day. It was BEFORE I was living here permanently. Beau is not allowed to grow Spaghetti Squash anymore. ;)
Eight miles away and I drive by it every day. They did a really nice job remodeling/refurbishing, including redoing the hardwood floors. Lots of stylish decor. Might have someone in the corner strumming on a guitar on Fri nights. A lot of posts mention "fresh veggies". Probably not fresh as in harvested that morning fresh. On the other hand, for all I know, they could be avid gardeners with their own high tunnel. They could be buying from the one grocery store that sells this much variety or some specialty supplier out of St Louis. Some people call fresh frozen - fresh.
Facebook post: We’ll be cooking delicious breakfast until 11am and then for lunch we have Veggie soup (alpha-gal friendly) and all the usual, tasty lunch items!"
I'm guessing someone has the Alpha Gal allergy like I do. Probably whoever is the soup fan.
I had steak last night which was dicey because I found a Lone Star tick latched onto the back of my leg the other day which is what triggers the allergy. Didn't wake up with the hives though so I guess the tick was too small or just didn't have whatever it is that triggers it. That reminds me, I need to lay down the Sevin granules. That and burn on the other side of the tunnel area and keep it mowed short all around it.
Speaking of tunnel, I'm going to work now.
