Jason, it was your daughter who opened the refrigerator door. I was one, the first in the comments of that video, to mention changing the refrigerator door. Think about it, Jason. It is an efficiency while working in the kitchen. It is your wife who has to live with it!!! Put up a camera to watch how many times Lorean has to walk around the open door to place items from the refrigerator onto the counter to the left of the sink. I loved the island...I agree, no wheels, the sliders are working great. I enjoyed watching you build it, too!
I said to move the Stove to where Refrigerator is, cause it isn't even vented from Attic to outside anyway, and that job should be done, anyway ! But then depending' on where Refrigerator gets spotted on Stove wall, the Refrigerator door swapping could relate, none of this matters, I'm just claiming, First !
So excited that help is on the way for us small farmers!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏 Ben, we wanted to come to one of your classes, but it wasn't in our budget this year. Hoping and praying we can make it next year. 🙏❤️🙏
I am very hopeful with Joel Salatin and Robert Kennedy being appointed positions. I think it is definately a step in the right direction. Lets hope we see some really health changes coming
So many people that consume meat don't have a clue of what commercial farming is like in the treatment of those animals in their final days. What I see on the small homesteads are usually compassion and respect for the animals and while they're alive they have good care. People consuming meat being upset at the reality that the animal needs to be dispatched to allow that meat to be consumed.
Jason! I have almost the exact same deer story! Years ago, I lived in the Palouse of Washington. It's steep rolling hills of wheat fields. I was also on a 2 lane road coming down a long hill. I saw this buck hauling a$$ off to the right, and I could tell by the trajectory we were going to run into each other. Had to make split second decision to slam on the brakes or speed up. I sped up, but that deer slammed into the side of my pickup, tumbled into the bed of the truck, then leaped out the other side and continued running in the field. About gave me a heart attack! 😂
Jason, My comment on your island video was good job Jason. I think people really like you and are trying to help you make your kitchen better with the door suggestion. Don't always think the worse. They love you and want to help
Smithfield began as an old Virginia farming business. Hogs raised on Virginia peanuts. China purchased the company in 2013. Largest acquisition of an American company. 😢 I don't know anything about the dealings you guys were talking about, but certainly would not be surprised. Read the wiki report. It confirms a lot of what you mentioned...reading between the lines. BTW, I'm a lifelong Virginian (age 69) and grew up on on Smithfield meat. A ham from there was. A treat for Easter or Christmas. 😅Stopped eating it many years ago. Thomas Massie's constitutional amendment begins with: "The right of the people to grow food and to purchase food from the source of their choice shall not be infringed,..." Praying for 180° change in US food production with Trump, RFK, Massie, and Joel. 🙏🏻🇺🇸👍
I want yall to know how much I appreciate your videos and information that you share. I have binge watched on so many of y’all’s pages. It’s like hanging out with my brothers and their families. I’ve really leaned on learning to drown out the sorrows that my heart feels
I want to say for all of us that actually like seeing how butcher day goes. You all do a great job at showing and teaching. I would have a hard time dispatching, but if I can I will. Only one bad day. What a great life they have had. Be blessed! Keep on, keeping on.
I loved the video, Jason! I was cracking up at the ridiculousness of society but y'all make things entertaining. Al, Brutus on the concrete was classic and watching Ben and Meg's family work times keep me coming back on the daily.
Happy Friday guys I didn’t even stay up either. It doesn’t matter at the end of the day. They’re not gonna save us from whatever’s going on. It’s up to ourselves to do for ourselves as Americans. 🇺🇸
Lowes has these freezers that can changed to a refrigerator or a freezer. You could use the refrigerator for your produce in the summer and then in the fall, turn it to a freezer for your meat butchering. I bought these and love the ability to have the option.
You tried to make the triangle for cooking and your door opens against it… happy wife happy life! I reminded you also over a month ago about it. 😂 gitter done!
Great podcast guys! Loved every minute, you're all 3 knowledgeable, entertaining, and just plain fun to watch. I'm excited about Joel Salatin becoming part of the process to help with the food industry. Bless all of you along with your families. Hugs and kisses to the wives and kiddos.
Another great video! Big business has too much control. Back in the 70s we raised a couple of hogs. We took them to a processer that slaughtered and gutted and there was a USDA inspection done. We picked up the entire "processed" hogs and did all the piecing out ourselves. Certainly not a professional job but it was edible and delicious.
I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you for all the great information, humor, and just downright human touch that you gentlemen bring to it. And I am so happy you brought up R.F.K and his plans to try and make America healthy again. The number one way to do that is bring back the local farmers and allow Americans to buy whatever kind of natural real food they want to grow and/or consume😊
The frig door just drove me nuts. My frig was like yours. I made them flip the door immediately because it disrupted the flow of energy. Now you need to do an efficiency study. 😂😂😂
Jason, regarding the near meet up with the deer, you need to order deer whistles to attach inside the front grill of your vehicles. You have to drive at least 35 mph for them to work. They really do work. Our whistles have saved us a several times.
Hi Guys! Love your channel. I'm one of your Plantbased viewers (don't consider myself Vegan as that comes with a lot of assumed politics. I just feel better physically eating plants). I wholeheartedly support any kind of farming such as what you guys do. Yes to Permaculture farming and deregulation of some government restrictions. Healthy for the people, animals & earth. 👍
Now, to Ben...I also watch each of your channel's videos. The endings of checking with Meg on what she's cooking for dinner are now a tradition. She cracked me up with the leftovers! Yeah, leftovers! One of my mother's greatest dislikes was not cooking all from scratch...it was deciding what to cook. Our family always sat down at the kitchen table for dinner, just like you do. One night, my father who always ate everything that my mother cooked, never complaining about any of the dishes, always eating seconds, said shortly after my mother also sat down, "Why is there nothing that I like tonight?" It was left-overs night... I was in college...the oldest of four children...who all liked everything that my mother cooked, never knew that my father didn't like cooked squash until that night!
Wow! What a great, FUN episode this was! Y'all surely know how to make a Friday "off the charts" positive! Now, about that refrigerator door issue....it seems to me (I'm not gonna say the words, "What you OUGHT to do..." so I'll just leave it at "it seems to me." So, it seems to me that you could tell people that you are representative of the many families who are homesteading and are very, very intentional about your food. And, having the fridge door on the "wrong" side simply makes each member of your family more INTENTIONAL about what you eat. So, your choice to leave the door right where it is can be a constant reminder of how much really good, healthy food is so important to the physical and emotional welfare of your family. Or, you could run a survey. I can imagine, "Choose from the following which way you think Jason's fridge door should open." Man, can you just imagine the comments that would come along with that futile effort at "poking the bear"? :-) Now, regarding RFK, Jr and the potential new food/farming direction, what if: The three of you gather up at Al's place (because that's closest to RFK's stomping ground) some weekend and invite RFK to come and see how solidly positive family farms can operator. I'll bet there would be a robustly healthy exchange of great ideas! Finally, thanks again for a terrific episode today! ~Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis)
Love your shop talk, I certainly hope our food changes for the better !! Every day you see on TV another recall for e. Colo, salmonella ( I got extremely sick for the entire month of August) and listeria . It's terrifying. I try to buy as much local now as possible. Sadly we have no real local butcher shops here on the coast of NC. When we lived in MD we had at least a dozen in our county alone . Sure do miss them 😢
I am proud of you, Ben. Not only did you do your civic duty, you are teaching your boys to do the same. What a shame that 70 million of your fellow citizens did not.
You guys are a hoot! Jason, I just see the two missing cupboard doors, haha. Busy times and lots of changes coming. Life is good. Happy week to you and your families.
RFK also wants to bring back raw milk in the stores...that will make a lot of folks who don't have their own cow happy. Thanks for another great podcast, y'all have a Blessed day.
I love listening to you guys talk about your chicken harvest. My mother and I did 25 to 30 a day until we had 100 or 125 done. And you have so many helpers with your water heater your you’re plucking machine. We had to haul the water. We had to heat the water in a big kettle outside. We had to haul the water to put the chickens in after they were plucked. We had to carry the water in a bucket to dip the chickens in. I really wished we had had one of your conveniences. Lol isn’t it funny how time changes. (Just for those) who you know I am not complaining. I am not griping. I’m just saying it’s interesting to me to see how you do it versus what we had to do.
Omg I just now trying to finish this video .. But I will say I’ve had a lot of laughs with y’all guys the door, the masked window the deer. I have had some last y’all have a great weekend.
Their problem is if going that far' the novelty will be Not wanting to leave for at least a weeks time, and more likely 10days, plus other things for exploring if driving, just a day or twos stay wouldn't be worthwhile !
thinking about the "touchy feely" that people get when you all butcher the animals that you have raised for meat in the first place, it's like my sweet husband says, "you can't fix stupid!!" and he's right. keep on doing what you do and let others do whatever it is they do, complain. I can remember the time if you had meat on your table, you butchered it yourself. keep up the great work!!! love you all!!!
I enjoy my sleep and no longer do the New Year thing 🙃 but I did watch TCN on and off throughout the night. At 67, I no longer sleep through the night anyway. Jason, tell them you will change the door next time you clean out your refrigerator ❤ Al, that is truly odd nothing is eating that moose😮 2024 looking hopeful ❤ Raw milk is like $6 a gallon which is a great price. I purchase it locally. I grew up on raw milk it's the best. I make butter, cheeses, yogurt, etc. It is truly the best way to save money ❤😊
The tules are reeds that grow in the Sacramento valley, also in marshes in Nevada. The Tules got very tall in wetlands, and there can be fog at that time of year.
Al, Gary on Walker Farm Fam had a llama get struck by lightning and he said no animal will eat it if it’s been struck by lightning. Love all of these podcasts and your own individual podcasts. ❤️🌹 NJ
The last 2 years at Christmas we had record snow fall. We woke up to 5 feet of snow in a 24 hour period. I live in Alaska and when we get lots of snow we are happy because that means it’s not -15 below. You could definitely do some holiday ice fishing up here💚
I'm surprised that Al hasn't mentioned me commenting on him not putting the covers on his outlets in the shop. I was one of those who said you should change frig door. I felt it was so in convenient for his wife when cooking. We my sound like trolls but we thinking we're helping. We're not distracted by doing any work , it's our only way to help.😂😂
We saw the fridge door situation when you first moved it and wondered if you ever changed it. Guess not. 🙂 Cooking and traveling from one thing to another in the kitchen, I would want the fridge to open into the kitchen instead of away from it; saves steps for Lorraine and provides more counterspace available to offload or upload fridge stuff. Al's taped door windows: I figured that was on purpose since it was done before he moved to the current property and he is pretty meticulous about everything else.... Had to chuckle when meth windows were mentioned.
Yay, episode 73! Things here are blooming again! The trees have dropped their leaves though. I'm glad the pigs are happy in the chicken tractors. Our goats hardly drink any water either. I guess they get enough from the grass. I didn't watch the results either. Either way it wasn't going to be who I voted for. Cool, people from California and other parts for the pig butchering. Got the pig done fast! That's cool that some of your participants did some networking too. I'm glad you got your turkeys harvested Al! Thanks for showing your set up to us. I can't understand people that watch homesteading but think it's terrible if you eat your animals. I don't get it. They are healthy to eat! That's great that you got your slab for the cattle shoot poured. That was great that having concrete delivered instead of mixing bags of concrete yourself was cheaper. I think Carroll Concrete knows you now! That's weird that the animals haven't eaten the drowned moose. Crazy! Cute, that the Lumnahs went and saw a Christmas movie! I've been listening to Christmas music already. I've been buying Christmas presents already. I hate to wait too long. In Minnesota we get a white Christmas about half the time. Oh no Jason you almost got hit by a deer! I'm so glad that you saw him and you were able to slow down. I bet it was a buck. I love your kitchen island! It came out so well! Don't worry about flipping the fridge door. I didn't comment about that! I'm so sad that the viewers are so demanding! Yes, Al it's crazy that people can't deal with the tape on the windows. I don't even notice it! People are weird! You know that now! I'm so glad you have the kitchen so close to done. I'm so glad you have been able to sell the pig meat. Too bad some people didn't notice they had to pick it up. That's cute that you have to blur the mating of the pigs. It's crazy! It gets demonetized if you don't. I voted for RFK Jr! He knows these terrible stories from so many corporations! So much corruption in our food system. Tyson controls the chicken market! I hope he can bring back the small farms! Yay, Prime Act! Yes, make a living on a farm again. Yes, pasture raised animals have to be better to eat than grain raised. RFK Jr. also talks about the use of glyphosate too. Thanks Mike for giving Jason a freezer! Funny Al said you could more up by him. Thanks for another great video guys!
That’s our tradition. We do it after Thanksgiving, but believe me I’m so eager to at least start one area, but I don’t know we’re still doing home projects 🌲
I think I made that remark to you, Jason. It was only a suggestion that was made in the spirit of trying to be helpful. :) You could put wheels on your island. Oh, BTW, the island looks nice, too. I'll have to put it on my todo list to always remind you. :)
We're still fighting flies here in Missouri, too. The canning season is going on a bit longer than usual. We ordered an electric flytrap from Amazon this summer as an experiment and it's worked pretty well. It probably lowered the kitchen fruit fly population by 95%. It's called an FVOAI Fruit Fly Trap. You should be able to search for it. It costs $30. It worked so well we bought a second one. Just thought I'd pass that along.
During the season the farm I live on kills weekly 400 plus sometimes less. They are winding down with turkeys about 100 and I'm thinking this Monday is possibly the last butchering day. It's a long season. I mostly clean up... doing 40 plus gizzards for those turkeys is hard on the hands but the customers are happy for the labor put in.. it takes the whole family plus any extras who want to see how it's done which is always a blessing. Many hands make light work!❤
Up in Carefree visiting my mom. Going home, a deer flew on top of my car. Flew off & keep going. Nice dent on my car. The kicker, my car was 2 days old. The first time l ever bought a brand new car! 42 mi on her. Yikes. I was quite sad! 📿
Ok, I am one of those annoying people that commented on your fridge door, Jason. Your daughter went into the fridge while you were videoing. lol I think we all just wanted you to have the “perfect” renovated kitchen and you had to change the door to make it “perfect”. We are just trying to help you with your goals to make your wife happy. Lol
Al, I read the book, great read, ‘Wasteland: The True Story of Farmland on Trial’. Great book!!! They also sold it to a company in China. I refuse to buy any Smithville products!!!
Here at my house, we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. We’re trying to spruce up the area getting the yard manicured it’s just a lot going on for a couple of weeks now I still got one small DIY project that I need to start today. I really do supposed to rain in the weekend I got a project that is an Outdoor carpentry.🔨. And then I’ll be done for a little while, but we live in Old house 1929. That’s always something to do always always.
About 9 yrs ago a licensed kitchen cost around $15.000 to build and required annual inspections. It required a separate septic tank for the blood wastes. All washed waste went into a outside gutter, into a cement box in ground with a basket in it to capture solids. Then it flowed into the tank. Walls and tables were Stainless steel. First room was for skinning/cleaning then into the cutting and packaging then coolers/ freezers. It could have been 12x20. Mainly for rabbits.
Good one guys. I figured you would talk about the future with maybe changes to food plans. Time to get the junk out of food. You all have a plan. Most people stuck eating what's available good or bad. Thanks
With Thomas Massie and Joel Salatin in dept of Ag? YESSSSS!
Oh yeah 👍👍 I think with Trump back, we have a chance MAHA & MAGA 🙏
Yay…love what these guys bring….hopefully the government will get out of homesteaders and farmers business
@@loriwest8700if there’s a buck to be made, Trump will stay on their behinds. 😊

Happy wife, happy life. FLIP the door! 🤣🤣🤣 PS: the island is AWESOME!!!!
I agree. Maybe Jason doesn't open the frig often. L.O.L.
Only joking.
You guys are what homesteading is suppose to be. Thank you for all you do. Including the footage of the natural way of harvesting meat!
the fridge door comment is the right thing, it opens away from the flow of the kitchen. I thought the same thing when I saw the video :)
I agree
Loraine might like to save those extra steps around the fridge door. Changing a door is NOT hard to do.
So excited that help is on the way for us small farmers!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏 Ben, we wanted to come to one of your classes, but it wasn't in our budget this year. Hoping and praying we can make it next year. 🙏❤️🙏
I am very hopeful with Joel Salatin and Robert Kennedy being appointed positions. I think it is definately a step in the right direction. Lets hope we see some really health changes coming
Thank you for keeping politics to a minimum, love watching all 3 of your channels. ❤❤❤
I totally loved the breeding video, Jason!
@@MrsPink64 it was hilarious.

Cracked me up, "oops, can't show that" ! 😂😂😂😂
Thank you again for sharing a part of your lives with us. So enjoy hearing and seeing your videos.
Good morning, Al, Ben, and Jason! Always good to see you.
I'm excited about hopeful changes in big ag practices! Good podcast fellows!

You should consider a live podcast for the 100th episode. Maybe Q&A...... just a thought
Happy Friday guys
I didn’t even stay up either. It doesn’t matter at the end of the day. They’re not gonna save us from whatever’s going on. It’s up to ourselves to do for ourselves as Americans. 🇺🇸

i like the guy that came this time he gets out to help and is quite happy to do it concrete lol hugsssssss
Jason, I didn't notice the door at all lol, island was beautiful! I always enjoy you three.
November 1st starts Christmas! Thanksgiving just happens mid Christmas. Jesus' birth is worth celebrating for a full two months.
That would be incredible a get together for your three families and you would blow this out of the park
thinking about the "touchy feely" that people get when you all butcher the animals that you have raised for meat in the first place, it's like my sweet husband says, "you can't fix stupid!!" and he's right. keep on doing what you do and let others do whatever it is they do, complain. I can remember the time if you had meat on your table, you butchered it yourself. keep up the great work!!! love you all!!!
We loved the movie, laughed so much and cried in the end.
If they don’t like it turn the other way. I like to see everything
I enjoy my sleep and no longer do the New Year thing 🙃 but I did watch TCN on and off throughout the night. At 67, I no longer sleep through the night anyway.
Jason, tell them you will change the door next time you clean out your refrigerator ❤
Al, that is truly odd nothing is eating that moose😮
2024 looking hopeful ❤
Raw milk is like $6 a gallon which is a great price. I purchase it locally. I grew up on raw milk it's the best. I make butter, cheeses, yogurt, etc. It is truly the best way to save money ❤😊
The tules are reeds that grow in the Sacramento valley, also in marshes in Nevada. The Tules got very tall in wetlands, and there can be fog at that time of year.
Awesome job guys , loved it . Thanks for sharing !!!!! 🙏👍😊❤️
Great job
Thnaks for the video!
Al, Gary on Walker Farm Fam had a llama get struck by lightning and he said no animal will eat it if it’s been struck by lightning. Love all of these podcasts and your own individual podcasts. ❤️🌹 NJ
Interesting. I wonder why...🤨
Jason I’d watch the changing of the door. I need to do that to my refrigerator.
Here in Ohio it's been warm and my lilac bush has buds on it and a couple blooms crazy wierd
I’m sure Meg appreciated the leftover days. She does a great job, especially now with the little one.
The last 2 years at Christmas we had record snow fall. We woke up to 5 feet of snow in a 24 hour period. I live in Alaska and when we get lots of snow we are happy because that means it’s not -15 below. You could definitely do some holiday ice fishing up here💚
Fun to listen to today!
Oh wow didn’t know we were from the same place I moved to Alabama from Bakersfield aswell. Love the podcast wacth y’all’s show very cool. God bless.
I'm surprised that Al hasn't mentioned me commenting on him not putting the covers on his outlets in the shop. I was one of those who said you should change frig door. I felt it was so in convenient for his wife when cooking.
We my sound like trolls but we thinking we're helping. We're not distracted by doing any work , it's our only way to help.😂😂
alright yeahhhhh Ben and Jason and their families are going to Al's for Christmas lol hugsssssss
Good afternoon guys.
We saw the fridge door situation when you first moved it and wondered if you ever changed it. Guess not. 🙂 Cooking and traveling from one thing to another in the kitchen, I would want the fridge to open into the kitchen instead of away from it; saves steps for Lorraine and provides more counterspace available to offload or upload fridge stuff.
Al's taped door windows: I figured that was on purpose since it was done before he moved to the current property and he is pretty meticulous about everything else.... Had to chuckle when meth windows were mentioned.
Anytime you want to be in the Holiday Spirit you Put a Tree Up. We have Ours Up, but Not my Choice…. But it Does Feel Better 👍😎
Great chat! 🇨🇦
PA is beautiful. Born and raised there. Lots of farming also. Wouldn't that just be a kick if you guys did something like that. LOL
Yay, episode 73! Things here are blooming again! The trees have dropped their leaves though. I'm glad the pigs are happy in the chicken tractors. Our goats hardly drink any water either. I guess they get enough from the grass. I didn't watch the results either. Either way it wasn't going to be who I voted for. Cool, people from California and other parts for the pig butchering. Got the pig done fast! That's cool that some of your participants did some networking too. I'm glad you got your turkeys harvested Al! Thanks for showing your set up to us. I can't understand people that watch homesteading but think it's terrible if you eat your animals. I don't get it. They are healthy to eat! That's great that you got your slab for the cattle shoot poured. That was great that having concrete delivered instead of mixing bags of concrete yourself was cheaper. I think Carroll Concrete knows you now! That's weird that the animals haven't eaten the drowned moose. Crazy! Cute, that the Lumnahs went and saw a Christmas movie! I've been listening to Christmas music already. I've been buying Christmas presents already. I hate to wait too long. In Minnesota we get a white Christmas about half the time. Oh no Jason you almost got hit by a deer! I'm so glad that you saw him and you were able to slow down. I bet it was a buck. I love your kitchen island! It came out so well! Don't worry about flipping the fridge door. I didn't comment about that! I'm so sad that the viewers are so demanding! Yes, Al it's crazy that people can't deal with the tape on the windows. I don't even notice it! People are weird! You know that now! I'm so glad you have the kitchen so close to done. I'm so glad you have been able to sell the pig meat. Too bad some people didn't notice they had to pick it up. That's cute that you have to blur the mating of the pigs. It's crazy! It gets demonetized if you don't. I voted for RFK Jr! He knows these terrible stories from so many corporations! So much corruption in our food system. Tyson controls the chicken market! I hope he can bring back the small farms! Yay, Prime Act! Yes, make a living on a farm again. Yes, pasture raised animals have to be better to eat than grain raised. RFK Jr. also talks about the use of glyphosate too. Thanks Mike for giving Jason a freezer! Funny Al said you could more up by him. Thanks for another great video guys!
That’s our tradition. We do it after Thanksgiving, but believe me I’m so eager to at least start one area, but I don’t know we’re still doing home projects 🌲
I think I made that remark to you, Jason. It was only a suggestion that was made in the spirit of trying to be helpful. :) You could put wheels on your island. Oh, BTW, the island looks nice, too. I'll have to put it on my todo list to always remind you. :)
He should make a second identical island' to put them together only if Butchering, kept nearby for when needed !
Al....I've had the same thought about those taped up windows😂😂😂
5” of snow in Meacham, OR and still coming down.
I am in San Antonio Texas and it is 82 degrees and 2pm.
Great show!
Great video guys.
We're still fighting flies here in Missouri, too. The canning season is going on a bit longer than usual. We ordered an electric flytrap from Amazon this summer as an experiment and it's worked pretty well. It probably lowered the kitchen fruit fly population by 95%. It's called an FVOAI Fruit Fly Trap. You should be able to search for it. It costs $30. It worked so well we bought a second one. Just thought I'd pass that along.
During the season the farm I live on kills weekly 400 plus sometimes less. They are winding down with turkeys about 100 and I'm thinking this Monday is possibly the last butchering day. It's a long season. I mostly clean up... doing 40 plus gizzards for those turkeys is hard on the hands but the customers are happy for the labor put in.. it takes the whole family plus any extras who want to see how it's done which is always a blessing. Many hands make light work!❤
lol at Al. I see that tape every time.....but I never worried you with a comment :)
It's real guys!!!
We all should have written in Joel Salatin for president❤❤❤❤
If you are in the picture off you tube they will look always if it is good.........G'D BLESS and greetings from Inge Noordam (the Netherlands/Europe)
Up in Carefree visiting my mom. Going home, a deer flew on top of my car. Flew off & keep going. Nice dent on my car. The kicker, my car was 2 days old. The first time l ever bought a brand new car! 42 mi on her. Yikes. I was quite sad! 📿
I would like to see one of you build a traditional southern smokehouse....and retire at least one freezer. 😊
Ok, I am one of those annoying people that commented on your fridge door, Jason.
Your daughter went into the fridge while you were videoing. lol
I think we all just wanted you to have the “perfect” renovated kitchen and you had to change the door to make it “perfect”.
We are just trying to help you with your goals to make your wife happy. Lol
Al, I read the book, great read, ‘Wasteland: The True Story of Farmland on Trial’. Great book!!! They also sold it to a company in China. I refuse to buy any Smithville products!!!
Here at my house, we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. We’re trying to spruce up the area getting the yard manicured it’s just a lot going on for a couple of weeks now I still got one small DIY project that I need to start today. I really do supposed to rain in the weekend I got a project that is an Outdoor carpentry.🔨. And then I’ll be done for a little while, but we live in Old house 1929. That’s always something to do always always.
WE WILL SEE PROGRESS With the food system:)
I actually saw Christmas ads before Halloween!
About 9 yrs ago a licensed kitchen cost around $15.000 to build and required annual inspections. It required a separate septic tank for the blood wastes. All washed waste went into a outside gutter, into a cement box in ground with a basket in it to capture solids. Then it flowed into the tank. Walls and tables were Stainless steel. First room was for skinning/cleaning then into the cutting and packaging then coolers/ freezers. It could have been 12x20. Mainly for rabbits.
Good one guys. I figured you would talk about the future with maybe changes to food plans. Time to get the junk out of food. You all have a plan. Most people stuck eating what's available good or bad.
Thanks
Always fun
When you find out Ben will you please put in follow-up regarding pig farming.
