Thoughts on Pastured Rabbits and Selling Meat

Today IS going to be a better day.
In general, yesterday SUCKED. I guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed; it may have been one of those days that I shouldn’t have got up at all. Part of the reason it was so bad was because
Another Farmer’s Market Under our Belts …

Joining the ranks of the unemployed, again …
I knew it was going to happen, I just didn’t know how or when: I am no longer employed by the farm. I guess I can look at it this way: I needed to relieve my stress and darned if that didn’t
