"Food is more than just fats, carbohydrates and proteins. It is affected by the way it is raised, processed, handled and cooked. In short, food has its own unique energy field that affects our health."-Dr.Christine Northrope

Almost all of Pennsylvania is at a heightened danger of wildfire this week! 🔥

Please don’t start any outdoor fires except when the fire danger is low. 🌲

Planting honey locust (improved), black willow on 5 acres of pasture for sheep- what equal/grid spacing (similar to photo) would give me around 40% shade?

I'm thinking start w/ about a 30’ x 30’ spacing on an off-set grid pattern.

"Typically, combined canopy coverage must equal or exceed 35 percent before it significantly impacts forage production. However, many cool season grasses and legumes perform well in 50 percent shade."

"My point is, just get some pigs, experiment a bit, especially with farrowing, and live with what you learn ... because you'll learn a lot more than if you're buying bacon from the store ... or young pigs who might come with a higher cost than you really should spend. Just raise pigs. The rest will fall into place as you learn. Life with pigs is all about learning; they kinda force you to." -David Eltz

We have a few babies left for anyone interested in jumping on this ride :)
