I'm very happy after getting nice information about Gale Woods Farm,I think it's a unique way of informing people,specially children, about varieties of foods & how those are grown in the firm.Gale Woods Farm is following the organic practices,this is more important.
Hey, these are great points and so important. someone just pointed out to me a great way to help the bees and this certainly goes under section 4. but perhaps could be its own step - Don't mow your lawn, or at least not until the dandelions have gone to seed.
thanks
Great article! My favorite local honey from the Twin Cities comes from the St. Croix River Valley. This is the place of my youth & also an area that happens to have marvelous honey. Lunds & Byerly's uses a blend that comes from this valley in their store brand as does Nature's Nectar. Nature's Nectar is a farm that also distributes supplies to other bee farmers here in the Upper Midwest.
Gah, now I feel like I've been doing too much work! But here's my version. I use a yogurt cooker that holds 6-oz glass jars because our kitchen is very drafty and I figure it uses less energy than the stove.
- Bring ~5 cups of milk to a simmer; I bring mine to 180 degrees. (Supposedly this realigns the proteins to make the yogurt set better.)
- Turn off heat and let cool to under 120. (Using my stove/pot, this takes 20 minutes.)
- Scoop out some milk and mix in a large measuring cup with one container of plain yogurt. (If I am using dried starter, which doesn't have any volume, I up the milk I'm using to 6 cups.)
- Stir contents of cup back into big pan, and then fill the jars and pack them into the cooker. (I top the jars with a paper towel cut to fit so any condensation doesn't drip back down.)
- Cook 5 hours for dried starter and 6-7 if I started with made yogurt.
Thank you for this very informative articles. Dairy products especially the ones made with cow's milk are an essential part of a balanced diet. Milk is very important for growing children for proper development of their bones, teeth and muscles. Calcium in milk is easily absorbed by the bloodstream with the help of certain enzymes found in milk, and therefore provides instant benefits. However breastmilk is still best for babies. I found another good articles about milk benifits at askdiana.net.
Rhubarbaritas sound very tasty. We are overrun with rhubarb and I'm about done with making desserts out them. A nice refreshing drink sounds like just the thing to do. Thanks!
I'm sorry, but these "arguments" you put forth just sound ignorant...
It seems to me you're just trying to justify your desire to eat meat, and you'll tell yourself whatever you need to (regardless of if it makes sense) in order to do that. Animals are not ours to use, period.
I've been tempted to buy the tomato paste that comes in a small glass jar, but it's so much more expensive than the canned one, and I'm pretty sure the metal lid is lined with BPA anyway. Sigh.

Scott - That dinner sounds amazing! How did it turn out? Morels, ramps and BGF NY strip steaks - the bounty of Midwest spring!

And regarding your point 1, I wrote a blog post about that which you may find helpful: http://creaturetalk.wordpress.com/2009/04/17/you-want-farm-animals-to-go...
