We're out here...And, so is the FDA, ATF and others trying to shut-down the Farmers and Ranchers. Very harsh with the Amish owning everything outright and practicing natural methods to produce food.
Increased herds by 100% and flocks by 200% last year; all grass-fed and option to finish with grain as desired. Have a local facility to process meat.
Allocated 10 acres for gardening and rent area for neighborhood Gardens...Providing tools and natural fertilizer in fall to cure/ferment over the winter. Only rule is to keep weeds down...Using mulch in rows.
Home School Families and others in neighborhood who are not Amish have increased significantly this year.
