The answer is 385.6 gallons of milk. That's how much milk we'd have to drink (at $13 a gallon) to make up for the $5,000 we have spent on our dairy cow - who has yet to produce a single drop. This is a PSA video for anyone who goes on social media and sees the idyllic apron-clad milkmaid harvesting her "free" milk for cream, butter, yogurt and more - then thinks, I want a dairy cow! It's hard work, there are no days off, and in the end, it's a financial wash (or drain). That said, if you want to do it because you enjoy a challenge, you want to raise your kids on a farm, you value knowing where your food comes from - these are great reasons. Leave the dreams of "free milk" at the barn door.
We love raw milk because it's a superfood with all the digestive enzymes left in tact. It's full of Vitamin K which is required for your bones to absorb Vitamin D. This is one reason we all take the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/. It's packed with vitamins A, D & K as well as a great source of anti-inflammatory omega 3s. It healed my battle with chronic cavities long before I cut processed foods and sugar. Use "ALISON" as your promo code at check out and get 10% off.
We are two days away from our cell tower hearing before the Citrus County Planning & Development Commission. I am representing our neighborhood and over the last several months I have had to become an attorney, RF engineer, community activist, journalist, land use planner - all while living the wife, mom and farm life.
Thank you to everyone who has written our county voicing their opposition! If you haven’t done so yet, please take 25 seconds and send an email to: [email protected] and tell her “I oppose the Cell Tower application CU 2026-00003, please deny the conditional use permit. It is incompatible with the height limitations of the surrounding neighborhood and the applicant has not proven a significant gap in coverage.”
If you live in the area, please join us at 9A on October 1 and at the Lecanto government building: 3600 W Sovereign Path, Lecanto, FL. Let’s do this! 💪🚫
We made the deadline to get in our presentation to STOP the cell tower proposed right next to our farm. Taking on telecom is not for the faint of heart - or really anyone with anything better to do. It’s a full time job and has been a real challenge for me both mentally and spiritually. But I am already grateful for the learning experience and for all of the help I’ve received along the way.
Our hearing before the Planning and Development Commission is Thursday, October 1 - one week away! Please help us, wherever you are, by sending a quick email to [email protected] “I oppose the Blue Sky Cell Tower application CU-2026-00003. Please deny the conditional use permit.” THANK YOU to everyone who has already written!
I keep my brain sharp despite the chaos with the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Maisy and Mommy Cow were separated all summer at their respective bull camps. We re-introduced them over the weekend. It did not go exactly as we had planned. But everybody is OK!
We hope they’re both pregnant and we’ll have cute calves this Spring. Speaking of pregnancy, vitamins A, D & K are essential and that’s why, as an older mom, I have made the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil part of my daily routine. I used to battle chronic cavities but no more. You get 10% off at checkout with promo code “ALISON”. https://greenpasture.org/
It’s the night before I go up against TMobile and their cell tower attorney. I will be representing our neighborhood in an effort to stop a 185-ft cell tower from going up right next to our farm. The applicant wants to build higher than limitations allow so they’re asking for a conditional use permit. We are presenting why they have legally not met the requirements for one.
Preparing to stand up to telecom - a multi trillion dollar industry - has required I grow mentally, spiritually and physically in ways I could not have imagined 6 months ago and for that I am grateful. I trust that God is with me and I am releasing the outcome to Him minute-by-minute. This has been one of the most arduous journeys I’ve ever taken but I will finish the race tomorrow and then I will give my family a big hug. Perhaps I will take a nice slow trail ride on Sassy when we get home.
Thank you to everyone who has written our County in opposition to this tower. We are truly grateful from the bottom of our ...
