Hey ya'll -- I've got a little plot of heaven for sale right now in Davisburg. It's four acres, a cozy stone and log home, complete with goats and chickens. We are haviing to downsize and are moving to a sweet little house in town. How wonderful would that be to have a farmgirl buy my house!

| How cool is that! My friend just sold her parent's property up north near Clare. It had hives on the back end of it...She said she remembered the "Bee Man" coming a couple times a year and then they'd have fresh honey in a big mason jar. The new owners were afraid of the bees and had the Bee Man come and take them off the property as a condition of sale. Come to find out...he had been tending those particular hives for over 30 years! (She never knew it was that long.) It's a shame they had to be relocated. Hope they weren't traumatized. I used to collect bee "stuff". Send my your addi Janna and I'll send along a little surprise for your new venture. Good luck to you. |

We are just getting into the whole beekeeping thing. The whole family is very excited! Our kids can't wait to buy "our farm" so they can just run and play and enjoy the outdoors more. We built a house less than a year ago that we are now selling. People think we're nuts, but we feel very at peace about the whole thing.
I'm guessing the hives moved off your friend's land did fine. Most hives move okay, you just keep their entrance reduced for a while till they get their bearings - I think. I've never had to move one  |

Cheese Making Plans...
Hello again! My darn computer went on the fritz so I'm a bit behind catching up with all of you!
Lyn, if you'd like any help at all with your adoption party please let me know, I'd be happy to help in any way that I can!! I've done many a parties/weddings/receptions but never made it into a "business"...I'm not sure why, I love doing them - may have to rethink this!!! LOL
Patti, Becky and Janna - A BIG!!! Welcome!!!
I talked with Miss Kris who is very busy working this summer and October sounded great to her! Here's the catch, I'm going to be working around 4 kids schedules which only leaves us a possibility of 1 weekend which is Saturday October 16. The other would be Halloween weekend and we usually have a party for the kids. CJ, I know this may be the one that possibly wouldn't work out for you? This isn't a definite yet - my schedule only and I still need to confirm with Kris and her schedule!! In fact, I may be able to do some weekend swapping with the Halloween party and all. (sorry, typing while thinking!) Here's the great plus side to this cheezy adventure, though Kris and myself love our husbands dearly...we're very excited that we get to meet all of you and our husbands are taking off horse camping that weekend! (a plan that they had in the works and a perfect farmgirl cheese making day just confirmed their trip!) Woohoo! Weekend alone in the house...oops, sorry - just a bit of excitement there!
As I'm looking, the 9th of October may also work. So with that for now (a whole lot of me babbling!) Let me know what weekends may work out best for all of you - we'll tentatively go with Saturday October 9th - or Saturday October 16. I'll also check with Kris in the meantime and see what weekend may work best for her:)
Have a good day everyone!!

Hello Michigan farmgirls!!! I have been underground for quite a long while. Trouble with life, computer and such. Missy, the 9th will not work for me but the 16th will - I may have to fool around with the last day of work but I think it can be done. Missy's excitement about this event is starting to filter down to me. You guys will love her - she is such a dear heart. Bless you all -- Miss Kris
For I know the plans I have for you...Jer.29:11 |

Hello Michigan Farmgirls. I'm a farmgirl at heart, originally from the east side of the state, but am now living almost at the Indiana border in West Michigan. I just discovered the Mary Janes Farm magazine and this forum. Are there any local chapters that meet on this side of the state?

So, we had our first Farmgirl meeting tonight. We're in the Lansing area. What a fun night of good food and good conversation. Everybody had great ideas as to what we'd all like to do at meetings & outside of meetings. It was so much fun. I can't wait for next month's meeting! Just wanted to share.
Hey, does anybody know where the traveling apron is from the Grosse Isle luncheon with MaryJane? Just excited for it to make it's way to my doorstep is all. :)

Thanks for sharing. I am glad y'all had a good time. Keep us informed with your goings on and maybe a few of us can drop in with y'all from time to time...if that is ok.

Karen, that would be fun! A Michigan farmgirl round-up! We discussed what each one of us knows how to do & what each of us would like to learn how to do. There are some things we want to do that nobody knows how to do. I was thinking that for this, we could network with other farmgirls who do know how to do certain things like cheese making, paper making, etc. If there's farmgirls out there who are willing to hold a "workshop" where we could learn what we don't know, that would be ideal. Well, like the cheese making class that somebody on here is going to do soon. What a great way to learn AND get to know other farmgirls in the Mitten.
