Here I am with Sassy days after she was born 29 years ago in FL, and then again a couple years ago when we lived in Seattle. I am so grateful that we are celebrating with her today after she nearly died this winter. So many vets told us it was just her time to go, she’s old and lived a good life. We learned God determines when it is our time, not medicine. We have hope Sassy will be The Producer’s trusted steed someday too (She sits on Sassy now and says “bye” and waves me off like, “leave us alone I got this”) . HUGE thank you to everyone who helped us along the way. To celebrate, I’m going to try a livestream birthday party on our Off Gridish channel so you can join us and ask any Sassy question you’ve ever wanted to ask - we are planning for 3P PST - I’ll post the link here! 🎂 🧁 🐴 🎉 🥕 🍎
While kids are at vacation Bible school right now, our cows are both at vacation bull school, which I’ve also been calling Love Camp.
Mommy Cow, our angus, has been with an angus bull for almost 6-weeks and now Maisy, our mini Jersey/Dexter cross, is with a mini Jersey bull.
By the grace of God (and I truly mean that) I met another mom at church who happened to mention their family just got into farming and they bought an A2 Jersey bull. After two unsuccessful artificial insemination attempts using mini Jersey bull semen, I have been looking for the “real deal”. It is very hard to find a mini Jersey bull “for rent” - most people want to sell you the bull but I don’t want one here for safety reasons.
We had considered a (very cute) Highland bull but hadn’t taken Maisy there yet. Then, boom! The perfect bull just appears 30 minutes down the road. If all goes well, we should have a calf and fresh milk next Spring!
Don’t forget you can support the farm and your health by ...
I was sitting down to do some work at my desk/podcast studio and found a duck egg on it. I have no clue how it got there, when, or why it was there. I’m pretty sure the duck didn’t lay it there. But who knows. Anything is possible on this farm. I’ve seen weirder things and Lily is known to bring animals inside. 🤔
Eggs are a staple for our health. So is the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://greenpasture.org/ which is packed with nutrition for your brain, joint, muscle, immune and gut. Use promo code “ALISON” at checkout for 10% off. Have a great weekend!
Now that I produce food, instead of just buy it from the grocery store, I see it all so much more clearly. It’s truly mind-boggling that you can easily buy a food item with carcinogens in it, and have no idea of its origin or processing, but if you want to come to my farm and ask me a million questions and even pet the animals - I cannot sell you a steak to eat or milk to drink. Is anyone surprised why people are so sick? It’s time to end the war on small food.
And as for the war on cavities or weak bones, don’t forget to support another small business, Green Pasture. I have been taking their fermented cod liver / concentrated butter oil for 15 years and I was shocked when I stopped getting cavities because I had been plagued by them for so long. Use “ALISON” as your promo code to check out for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
