I always take some time to reflect on my life and where I am and where I want to be as well as plan a couple of projects that need to be thought through. I was wondering what some of you were planning for the upcoming year.
After being at the Farm in NY for a year I know that when I came home I was shocked by how much stuff we had that just takes up space, so this year I plan on a huge yardsale so that I can build a good fence for my chickens so they can be in a part of the yard instead in the run all the time. I have also decided to extend the garden space so that I can put up more foods for us & not depend on the store all the time. so mainly for me its a purging type of year ahead so I don't feel so closed it, spoil the chickens a bit & prepare for the big amount of canning I will get to do.

I am doing the same thing Michele. I will be cleaning out and getting rid of a lot of things. I am starting a new life also..I am getting a divorce..and not sad at all. wish I had done it a few yrs ago. I will be getting my chickens and goats this yr. Doing more here on my small farm...cheese making is one that is going to be a lesson for me. Fencing first and then the goats house. And a really nice garden which means canning and dehydrating when the crops come in...cant wait... Deborah
now we are on our forever farm. God has blessed us.
Deborah, don't forget that you can freeze tomatoes for soups. It is a lot less work than canning and works just as well. I am also going to try to can some green beans--providing the snails don't get them all. Hope that this cold weather has at least killed the majority of them off.
What 2014 will bring to you
