Q. Keeping Animals in Town?
I’m really enjoying your website- it has been such an encouragement to me! We recently moved from a 5 acre farm in OK, complete with dairy goats, pigs, calf, chickens, and ducks to a urban neighborhood in CO. I was initially very frustrated to be so limited here, but I [...]

A. Our animals not only provide us with companionship, they are [...]

Bottles up!
We have been trying to collect bottles when delivering to the restaurants and caterers to put in some of the garden beds for both useful and decorative functions. I really would like some blue bottles that they use for mineral water… but, they are hard to find.
