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.“
It would be easy to think Sassy’s behavior is accidental but I’ve watched her for 33-years now and she is excellent at sending messages in her own language. The other day I cleaned the goat stalls and put brand new shaving in them - only to have Sassy go right into one of them and lay a massive poop. Then, after I cleaned that, she pooped again right in the goat feed dish. Any guesses what she’s trying to communicate?
Don’t forget to grab your fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil - which is how I protect my teeth to make sure I can communicate my disappointment with Sassy when she acts like this! 🤣Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
I have used this bread recipe so many times, I could make it in my sleep now. I got it from The Sweet Simple Things website but I changed honey to maple syrup. I’ll put their link in the comments. I have a sourdough starter ready to go, so I will be moving into sourdough territory soon. However, this is a great, simple and quick recipe if you need bread within a few hours. If you have bread recipe you use often, please share in the comments! Also I am looking for an easy sourdough recipe for freshly ground whole wheat flour.
You can even spread your fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil on a piece of your fresh bread and maybe it will balance the taste a little. Protect those chompers so you can eat more than bread for years to come. (And… Let me know if you try spreading it on your bread!)

Our Nigerian dwarf goat, Lucy, teams up with me every morning to make my iced Matcha latté. Straight from the goat into the glass. Doesn’t get any fresher!
I love goat milk because it’s higher in potassium than cow milk and Lucy’s milk has such a high cream content, you can’t really even tell the difference. Dairy from a goat or cow out on forage eating greens is a great way to get Vitamin K2, which your body needs to utilize Vitamin D. Another great product I take for Vitamin K as well as A & D is the fermented cod liver/butter oil from Green Pasture. I used to get chronic cavities and I finally got clean reports from the dentist when I started taking it 15 years ago, long before I cut sugar.
