December 31, 2011

Happy New Year!!!  Tomorrow is the BIG kick off!!!

So here is the plan......each entry will be titled for the day it is written, it is our goal at the end of the year to turn this blog into a book with each day being a different page. We have started a Facebook page as well (Living off the Land) so that we can keep a picture diary as well.

We took an inventory of the canned food in our pantry......there were 45 different types of food totaling 849 jars ......this is what we canned in 2010 and 2011 so we have a really good start.

Just a quick overview of some of the things that we plan to do...

Baby chicks will hatch in March

Garden seeds get planted in Mid March

Garden gets planted on Memorial Day weekend in May

Meat Chickens get butchered in June/July

Laying Chickens will start laying in August

We start canning what the garden produces from August - November

We look forward to posting recipes and articles from 100 years ago , keeping our family and friends updated about life on the farm, and learning new things from your feedback/comments.

When the ball drops....the ADVENTURE begins.....
