Our friends at The Wagon farm (who currently have Maisy cow with their bull at Love Camp) gifted us some of their worms to start our own worm farm. We were all very excited about all of the nutritious soil we’d soon have for the garden. That is, until rats decimated our new friends. 😫 I had no idea worms would be so vulnerable to rodents!

We will try again with a more secure container. There is always something trying to eat on this farm - some we like, some not so much.

Good thing I have the energy to start over again many times, which is required on any farm I suppose. We take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil blend from Green Pasture, which is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D, & K. Ditch the cheap fish oil that does nothing.

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!

I may have had my differences with 60 minutes at times. But this stand has merit. And the show is officially even worse now. All who feel you could care less. Try watching in full. You may learn something that would have made you stand up too. There's an elephant in the room. The questioner hints to it at times. And the unwanted war of choice will ramp up again soon.
