I shared with a friend that I was drinking one of my FIRST EVER matcha lattés with milk from our own goat. She said “I’m drinking matcha too! But the expensive kind.” (Her drink was $6 from Starbucks.) It inspired me to do a video (which will hopefully be up tomorrow) about the real cost of food - and what my latté entailed. Any guesses about what it cost to enjoy my FIRST home grown latté?
This was so fun to watch. We had lots of rain overnight and the rodeo arena was soaked today. Most of the kids loved it, though a few weren’t a huge fan of being covered in mud. Thankfully there are many hoses at the rodeo grounds!
I used to be one of those people who thought goats will eat anything. But actually, it’s chickens who are the true garbage disposals. Now, when we cook something, I am regularly researching if chickens can eat the waste that we would normally throw away. In this case, we were peeling shrimp, and the light bulb went off. Maybe they would eat the shells? Turns out, not only will they eat the shells, but the shrimp shells are quite good for chickens! In fact, they are full of calcium to help the chickens lay eggs with hard shells.
