Wow how did I miss this thread :1422:

9 years ago I was working a J job that I hated, raising two girls on my own. living in a bachelor suite.
I don't know how one goes from being not a farmer to being a farmer and I did it :D
Anyone remember how I did this???

When I came on here, I believe you were already in Southeast Kelowna. So I never really got the one, two, three story as to how you got from N-a-F to B-a-F.

Farm life is always busy but right now is one of the more active times. Planting and tending to young stock. Range cows got pushed out a few weeks ago. The grass is plentiful and lush. Crossing fingers and toes and eyes that this year will bring in some good hay crops so we aren't paying the astronomical prices we have been. Wishful thinking on my part...lol

Bumped up

Congratulations to this egg farmer, neighbourhood around this chicken farm isn’t going to like the smell of 3,000 chickens.
Chicken farm smell has tendency to more of eye burning issue, manure isn’t to bad as long as it not disturbed.

I have raised beds in my garden too.
The only thing in them right now is snow. :-X

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.
