Life on the Farm: Jpurnal.

About us

Our family lives on a farm in Penrose North Carolina. We raise sheep for fiber, dairy goats, cattle and chickens. Our sons raise and train Quarter horses. The horses are trained for trail, pleasure, roping and games. My husband and sons spend most weekends on the road going to Barrel races.I usually stay on the farm if it is a long trip. I spin, weave and knit the fiber from the sheep, llamas and Alpacas. I also have a side job being a medical transcriptionist. We raise Nigerian Dwarf goats and crosses. Our milk is not sold commercially. I use it to make cheeses and icecream. We try to feed our family from what is grown from the farm. This includes meat, vegetables, fruits and eggs etc. Our goal is to try to preserve the farm family way of life and share it with others who are interested in this way of living.

July 29, 2009

Wednesday. I got up and did the normal things before washing clothes and putting the last round of beans into the canner.

It has been raining off and on all week so we have been having to do the outside chores around the rain. The horses are staying up out of the rain and they are getting restless.

Dusty went to get silage and corn and he ran some errands while out. When he got back, he worked in the horse barn and sheared a sheep.
