BREEZY HILL FARM WEEKLY UPDATE
- Finally got our ponds full. It's taken over two years, but it happened in just one night.
- Calving started recently. We now have six doing well. They started the day after a very cold day. Pastures are greening and but cows still are eating hay. We have enough to last until the end of April.
- Finished sowing about forty acres of clover. Still have more to do.
- We were able to get four hogs this past week. They are definitely scarce and the prices are crazy. Beef prices have also gone crazy.
- Have started a new book, Meat Racket. It is going to be good. So far it's been about how Tyson has gained control of the entire chicken production. I'm sure glad we raise our own in our chicken tractor. If you live in town and can't have chickens, then be sure to get yours from a local grower. Virginia's email is raetdy@aol.com.
- We will be placing an order to Green Pastures for cod liver oil, coconut oil etc. Those interested need to send an email with your order. The more we purchase the less expensive it is for all. See their products at www.greenpasture.org
- We have our straw bales in place and have started getting them conditioned.
- For those of you who haven’t read Joel Salatin's new book, you can get the essence of it by watching this video. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkC3pl5taMs&feature=em-subs_digest-vrecs

Be sure to watch the interview with the Food Babe. We have a new milk customer that has a similar story and has written an excellent book, Eat the Yolks. We have some copies. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/02/19/azodicarbonamide-subway-sandwich.aspx?e_cid=20140219Z1_PRNL_art_2&utm_source=prmrnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art2&utm_campaign=20140219Z1&et_cid=DM39724&et_rid=432093963 - Mark Sheppard. Maybe we should all watch this and learn how to save water. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb_t-sVVzF0#t=50
THAT'S IT FROM THE HILL FOR THIS WEEK. ART AND DEBRA
