Combining Tradition with Technology for Custom Food Options
As the year comes to a close, thank you to everyone who has stopped by, commented, read and taken something positive from the blog here. It wouldn’t be worth much if no one read it and is appreciated! We’ll be thinking over tomorrow the last year and the year ahead, as many are doing. There [...]
After a couple of years of just Missy (half border collie) we have purebred border collies again, courtesy of a barter arrangement. Bess was picked up last night, and is adjusting to a strange life in a new place. When we met she walked right up as if she knew. She has some things to [...]
We have addressed hormone free rabbit and chicken, ethics and honesty and ag diversity with food choices before, but it remains the most criticized among consumers who misunderstand food labels.Some call for a total ban, which would also not be good.

Many dismiss the information within the pages as unscientific, whimsical stories from grandparent’s day. Today’s modernization often makes such things unnecessary. We know to not dehorn when it’s hot because flies are more apt to [...]
It’s been a busy week at SlowMoneyFarm and the days seem too short! We combined and moved some young bucks into a 4′x8′ stall and Connor welcomed a new litter of Champagne D’Argents that he’ll raise to be competitors in the youth senior classes for next year’s national show. In the midst of day to [...]
