My good friend and former coworker, Andy Wallace, one of the best photojournalists in the country, put this video together for us as a wedding gift. 5 years ago we made our guests hike 3 miles to an off grid hut so we could summit a peak with Mt Rainier in the background for vows and wedding photos. We re-did the ceremony the next day at our blueberry farm reception for folks who couldn't make the hike. I wore my grandmother's wedding dress from 1946 (also my mom’s dress) at BOTH events (but I didn't hike in it, per her request - ha! I changed at the peak.) Make sure you watch at least til you get to my buddy, Alex, singing Tennessee Whiskey - you won't regret it. Here's to another 5 years of adventure!
Fermented foods are not just good for people, they are great for animals. Fermenting chicken feed is so easy and it makes the grains far more nutritious. All you do is put your feed in a bucket and add water until the water covers the feed. Let it soak for 1 to 3 days and you should see it start bubbling. It’s fermented and ready to feed your chickens. You will probably have to add more water after your initial mixture grows in volume to make sure there is always a little bit of water covering the top. This prevents mold. Our chickens love their fermented feed and will leave any dry feed untouched if their fermented feed is in front of them.
We met Corona at 4H yesterday, she’s a one-eyed barrel racing horse. She had ocular melanoma and her eye was surgically removed last year. She has made a full recovery and is back to barrel racing! She has won over $400 in local competitions in just a few months with her young rider.
I have added Green Pasture’s fermented skate liver oil to my fish oil nutrition regimen. It is another great source of omega fatty acids along with Vitamins A & D. I was talking to a friend who said it dramatically improved her sleep which she attributes to decalcification of the pineal gland. I still take my cod liver/butter oil for my teeth especially. Worried about WWIII? Make sure you’re healthy for the zombie apocalypse!
