Good thing we have family coming to visit this weekend to help us eat these!

They're also not leaving here without 6 loaves of sourdough bread, a bushel of squash, 2 jars of pickles, a bunch of tomatoes, 10 dozen eggs and if I can sneek them in a couple baby goats! (And they're taking the 15 year old too 🤣)

We really need more friends and family close by!

Raw beet and carrot salad with fresh herbs and olive oil, dijon, lemon, garlic dressing!

There are only three causes of disease in the body...deficiency, toxicity or trauma. Every single last thing we have a name for in medicine has 1 of those at the root.

Eating whole foods always is a simple and effective way to keep the body at ease.

Goat Tallow

Not sure what I am going to do with it yet but it should be as versatile as beef so maybe some soap and salves.

This guy was on death's doorstep yesterday.

We did chores early in the morning and everyone seemed fine.

A couple hours later I was harvesting some kale from the garden and kept hearing a kid in distress. Alex said he would go check when he came across this little one laid out on his side, actively having diarrhea.

Alex told me I would need to come look at it since it was more than just being tangled in a vine or an easy relief of distress.

Immediately, coccidia comes to mind in young ones with diarrhea but there were too many things that didn't seem right for that.

My next thought was possible poisoning from a plant. We had just moved the goats to a new pasture on Saturday full of everything and the goats were going to town on Spring green freshness. Our goats come into contact with poisonous plants but we've never had an issue because they're never forced to a point of hunger where they feel the need to "take a chance" and God instilled in them the natural instinct to detect what is good and what is not.

However, this guy was just starting to nibble and perhaps took too big of a test bite or perhaps momma ate something that was fine for her but came through her milk too concentrated for little bellies.

We took him to the house and mixed up some charcoal and water and used a 1mL syringe and luckily he didn't put up any fight taking all of it. Let him go for about 20 minutes then gave him some baking soda in water again with that 1mL syringe along with a little tummy concoction (ACV, garlic, slippery elm, ginger, cayenne, and molasses). Came back from an Easter get together and he was still in distress but could stand so I gave the baking soda and tummy soother again.

Penned him up with his momma and sister overnight and hoped for the best. This morning he's up stretching, not crying at all and looking to nurse! Hopefully his belly will heal and he'll be back to bouncing by afternoon!

Bellies are getting big, bags are filling up...soon babies will be bouncing and the milk will be flowing!

Our girls kid outdoors; it lets us see who has really good maternal instincts. But that also means we're planning to be more in line with Mother Nature so we time putting bucks in so that babies start hitting the ground around April 1.

And just like that Spring and all her bounty is in our midst once more! If you are blessed with sun right now I hope you can find time to expose as much of your body as possible!

It's Christmas Eve! As we look forward to the Holy Nights, we're grateful for the celebration and magic, as well as the rest and relection.

Holiday cookies and eggnog are two of our favorites!
