Zinnia’s school had an egg hunt yesterday at which the “Easter Bunny” made an appearance. The Producer fled with her bucket, a similar reaction to the one she had at their Christmas party with Santa. I realized that she has an innate sense of facade, a trait kids seem to share. But adults tell them to stifle it, “come on it’s just fun,” and then when we get older we simply turn that into, “what are you, a conspiracy theorist?!” I have also noticed that The Producer has an innate desire to participate and help around the farm. I can see how parents would say, “I’ll just do it myself because kids are messy, awkward, take forever, etc” but once again we have discouraged what could turn into the curiosity of an adult who is engaged in his or her community. Just some thoughts on this Easter weekend. Being a parent continues to teach me so much about why Jesus said, “Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” For those of you celebrating the empty tomb today, hosanna! One of my favorite verses in John is the very last line, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.“
I cut refined, processed sugars a couple years ago but I have a MAJOR sweet tooth (which I’ll blame on my dad’s genetics). As many of you know, I have been making homemade chocolate ever since (also thanks to my dad who taught me how), and it has satisfied all cravings. Big thank you to Medea Galligan with New Earth Natural Medicine for suggesting we switch from cocoa powder to cacao powder to really make it superfood chocolate! (She does consults to help you heal with real food, so check her out!) Our chocolate is full of antioxidants, MCTs, prebiotics, probiotics, minerals, vitamins and it’s also delicious. It’s so easy to make with kids, and now we are selling it at farmer’s markets! Try it and let me know how it turns out - or just come to a market and buy it from us!
I made this video for the other social media platforms with their licensed music, so it’s a silent video here. But I figured I’d post because I’d like to know - how do you take your cod liver/butter oil (if you buy it)? I shoot mine back with water. The kids chase it with raw milk. Don’t forget to get yours at GreenPasture.Org and use Promo Code “ALISON” for 10% off!
Hulk Hogan was my neighbor growing up on Clearwater Beach. We used to see their family out enjoying the sand just like the rest of us. So when I heard the news that he died, I packed the kids into the truck and drove to his restaurant, Hogan’s Hangout. My dad told me yesterday he appreciated that Hogan took a small business approach to his restaurant and store, unlike some of the mega corporations who have moved in over the years. Bill Dorris is back for this one - in case you missed him! We tried to get this live on Locals but Lynn was running the show from our house and was having a hard time figuring out how to get it set up. Let me know what you think about Hulk below.

In case you missed the livestream today, YouTube demonetized my update about neutering our goats, saying it violates their standards regarding adult and sexual content.
Now only 18+ can watch the video, even though my 5-year old watched the actual procedure and 4H kids everywhere do this daily. My appeal was denied after their “review” confirmed the lewd nature of showing my goats’ balls. There is no blood in this video. Just a set of goat balls with a rubber band around them.
How do we encourage people to learn where their food comes from, or even to encourage self-sufficiency and the hard work of farming, without showing them the reality of the day-to-day operations? This video detailed how to know if banding worked - or if your animal needs medical attention. It’s important information.
Do a quick search on YouTube about post-op humans (including kids) removing or adding body parts and you’ll find no shortage. But goat balls cross the line.
This is how diet-related heart ...
