Our Tiny Farm is Going Through a Transition

I apologize for not posting anything since last January. It has been a busy year for us on Our Tiny Farm. We did a major remodeling of our house, which you all know causes all kinds of disruptions in a family.

We are also in the process of changing what we produce on Our Tiny Farm. In the past we have raised beef cattle, chickens, horses, donkeys, bees, garlic, popcorn, vegetables, and herbs. With the kids grown and gone (or mostly so), wanting time for other activities, and just wanting to try different things on the farm, we have downsized what we do.

Presently, we do not have any beef cattle or chickens on the farm and aren't sure if we will raise anymore. We are also not raising horses right now either.

We are still raising garlic and bees. The garlic is curing and we have hives full of honey.

We are only raising vegetables and herbs for our own family needs.

We are providing a temporary home for some donkeys. These were rescues and we are teaching the owners how to be good donkey parents. Meet Faith (the jenny) and Hope (her baby). This is a good fit for our farm.

Glen will continue to consult with folks interested in leading a lifestyle like we do.

And I will continue to teach at workshops and conferences, and consult out of state. I will also try to keep our website more up to date!! And of course, the book is available:

 

If you are serious about growing woodland medicinal herbs, whether for a business or your own personal enjoyment, this is the book to have. Written by two well-know authorities, the book is chock full of information and hundreds of pictures on how to grow ginseng, goldenseal, ramps, black cohosh, and many other native herbs.
