    Some designing work

    I don’t know if you guys make logos, websites and brochures for your farm or not. Lately I have been thinking of updating our old designs of the brochures. I am thinking of doing the design by myself this time. It doesn’t seem like a very difficult task, but time consuming. I wonder if you guys...

    Furniture for the cottage

    I wonder if building a cottage takes a lot time. Actually I have been thinking of building one. But that seems a lot of work. I can hire some workers to do the task I guess. But currently I don’t want to spend that much money. I heard people building cottages can take a number of years. I wonder...

    Best starter livestock

    That indeed sounds like a headache. I wonder if you keep them in a run or not. Although chickens are not good flyers, when there are attacks, they can sometimes fly up to a tree branch if one of their wings is not clipped. Or you can have a rooster that defend them from predators.

    Emergency Planning

    I think it’s indeed a very good timing to reflect on our emergency planning. Honestly, I have never thought about that seriously before. Now I’m thinking of taking about this with my family as well as my neighbor.

    How To Move A Storage Building

    Like what Wildlife said, maybe you should provide more information on where you would like to move to, how large is the storage building etc. For me I would find someone else to do it but it really depends I guess.

    My dog is afraid of the sound of thunderstorms

    I forgot to reply but thanks for all your suggestions and such! It has been quite a while that he doesn’t feel comfortable with the thunderstorms. Sometimes better sometimes it gets worse.

    I don't get spam

    From what I observed, some certain types of websites get more spams than others. I don’t know if the web providers (if it’s what they are called) is also one of the factors as well.

    Best starter livestock

    Interesting about what RichZ said about name chickens. I wonder what the main cause is. Personally I name most of my animals so I don’t observe such problem in my farm. Chickens are indeed the easiest to raise in my opinion. Goats and pigs are my second and third picks.

    Amazing step-over apple trees

    It’s possible for them to grow horizontally as far as I know. I think it’s actually more beautiful. It shouldn’t affect much on how the apples grow. Even though I seldom see people doing that in my area.

    Agritopia

    It sounds very interesting! Even though I have never joined any communities. I think it’s good to have a community where people can support and encourage each other.

    How are you doing this season?

    True that we all need to be grateful. This is a good and healthy mindset that helps you getting through the tough time. Sometimes we just easily forget what we should be grateful for.

    Father's Day

    I’m thinking of getting a new phone for him. The old one is not really working well even though he doesn’t seem to think so. But I guess I will still get him a new phone.

    Trends you're glad to see go?

    I am pretty interested in this topic honestly. The techniques suggested by Almost Eden sound very helpful and practical. I might actually want to have some roses of different colors as well!

    What matters most to you?

    Sadly you only know how durable it is after you have been using for certain time. But I guess reputation of the brand tells us something about their products. Also, some time it’s a matter of luck.

    From scratch cooking

    I have never really tried cooking from scratch. Haven’t got the motivation to do that I would say. But I am trying to buy less from the stores, especially right now we have the virus.
