I'm delighted with the response! Thanks! We'll be near Cactus and the 101 - Anne - I think that's near your place. I will make an announcement to visit our place as soon as it's all up and running AND when I have my dairy goats.

I echo Anne. I would love to buy raw goat's milk, depending on where you'll be. Thanks for doing this!
I would like to give it a try, depending on cost, travel distance, etc. What is your cross street with Cactus?
I would LOVE to be able to buy raw goats milk!!! Count me in as a customer!

Oh, how exciting! I keep kicking around the idea of raw goats milk at least for cheese if not for drinking. Don't know if I could get my husband or the 2 young men to do it though.
When we make the final shift to the Cactus Rd. Farm I'll be getting some dairy goats. We're evaluating how many Nubians to acquire.
In that - we're wondering what the interest in fresh, raw goats milk from goats might be. Our goats will be free o...
I have grown both French and Spanish Lavender very successfully for the past 5 years. This summer was SO hot, however, that one of my Lavenders dried out. It's still alive and is coming back!! Your beautiful photos are inspiring. I think I will ad...

We're doing raised beds - again....and did haul in dirt. It work...

- We have only recently moved into our current place and I am between chickens at this time. There is an old metal shed and some old pool fence on the property I am going to use as part of my chicken house so when I get it done I will post some pictures. Hopefully will have something to show in the next month of too, it is a large property and has much needed to do. Chickens do not care too much about what it looks like, just needs to be secure for them at night.
For the goads I would try to rake up as much of them as I could, you might even consider renting a power rake and going over them a couple of times. Seems like the plant breaks off fairly easy. If they are the ones I think they are, it should not be too hard to control them once you have the major amount removed.
As for the round up it binds to the soil and breaks down after about 6-months, not much needs to be done for it on a practical basis if it hasn't been recently sprayed.
