Anybody out there need a party? I will do my best to give you a GREAT experienceJ
Also, along with the party venture, I am currently offering goat patrols…if you need your weeds and overgrowth removed, silently and with respect for our sustainable environment; complete with free fertilization, give me a call to discuss the particulars. I have 11 goats ready to clean it up for you. And, you can watch! Get the blenders out, ‘cause it is a lot of fun to watch the goats do what they do best…….
Lastly, my eggs are going currently free range and moved to fresh grass/pasture daily. To this, I use my custom blended feed to enrich the experience. My hens have been specifically bred and brooded by crossing an authentic Rhode Island Red rooster and authentic White Leghorn hens. We are EXCITED to let you and yours know that these hens are slated to start laying in October of this year…..just a few more weeks. The girls are on the grass and we are all ready for the big day! My egg cart is very, very close to being ready for a ride…..I will post a picture tomorrow, I hope. Please, consider our eggs for your family. They are $3.00 per dozen.
