Some hay piled up and it looks like some critters have moved in. Any thoughts on how to get rid of them? Indeed. Some more pictures from Tractorcade [...] Lardo on day one, mocetta on day 18 The lardo has finished curing and has been hung to dry. The mocetta is on day eighteen and is doing very well. There’s either salt or good mold on the outside of it. Look! I actually weighed it this time! 574 grams of pastured [...] That’s not actually true, it’s back fat. However, I once saw one of those godawful women’s magazines at a grocery store and, after reading the headline “Cure your belly fat now!,” was honestly confused that they weren’t talking about bacon. As I alluded to earlier, there’s a little over a pound of fatback [...] This was the title of course offered down the street from us by the local parks and rec department. The joke, of course, is that we’d just ordered 15 muscovy ducks with the express purpose of making our own cassoulet. I now provide you with the timeline of the Official Dropstone Farms, LLC Quick [...] Well, not really. As Lauren posted earlier, we’re doing fairly well at reducing the contents of our still-very-full chest freezers. And, with the departure (ascension? transfiguration?) of orange and blue I’ve renewed my interest in curing my own charcuterie. And it turns out there’s a blog challenge underway. As is typical, I’m [...] G: Prefer garlic scapes to turkey ‘scapes. Less hurty. L: Yikes!! G: But they got a size on them and hella vigor. Should store h2o2 in the truck I reckon. (On edit) Lauren suggests that I clarify that h2o2 is hydrogen peroxide and that I include the photo I took [...] Heritage chickens. They have great foraging instincts and they love to explore. It’s great and it’s the reason that we raise only these breeds. It’s wonderful to raise an animal that acts like an animal. Additionally, we raise our birds outdoors from the day we get them. They are on grass and dirt (and [...] Our shiny new cultivator! We took a day “off” this weekend (Visited farmer’s markets and farms around Chimacum. And shopped for hay.) and headed up to Port Townsend. We perused an antique store and found a perfectly functional corn planter and a brightly painted Planet Junior-type wheel hoe. We’d been eyeing these tools [...] These English blokes (I think that’s “dudes” translated into En-UK) might be on to something… PEEEEEEEEEP! This is what a baby robin looks like. Note the more-than-superficial resemblance to a baby chicken, like one of the three that used to be able to get out of the coop. Now, imagine that Oscar (Note to readers: Oscar is my dog) finds such a baby bird, partially feathered out, behind [...] A struggling mall in Cleveland converts their food court to a giant greenhouse. |
