How do you sell your produce? Do you have a website? Just curious, I have been thinking about doing some berries, but the farmer's market thing here is a bit limited. And pick your own doesn't seem to work here, most folks want it already picked.

We have built up a customer base over the past 12 years. One neighbor sells about 12-15 dz eggs for us a week at her place of wrok, 16 dz go to a retail bakery and then the rest to other neighbors and acquaintances. We sell about 45-50 dz eggs per week. Our 4 sides of beef are long spoken for and I'm looking at getting 3 calves so I have 5 sides to sell (we keep one). The garlic is the same, our established customers took the bulk of them. I do have one neighbor who does a lot of successful marketing through the internet, there are 3 Craiglist type sites up our way. People do appreciate how nice and clean our place is, all our animals only have one bad day.

39 at 0430. I'm up early because I'm catching some sort of a minor cold and the stuffy nose sore throat garbage woke me up well before the 0500 alarm...

Be well all,
David

Coffee is brewing. 21 degrees with clear skies this morning. Heading to 48 with sunny skies for all daylight hours. We have a south facing sun room that is all glass. I like sit out there on days like today. It will be 85 + degrees with all the sun today. Doing my thing these days without worries of needing to get something done before bad weather sets in. Put snowblower and blade install on back burner. Hoping that there will not be enough snow to need them this year. :D
Good Morning All.

22 degrees here now, supposed to get as high as 50 later today. Took one of the cats to the vet yesterday and will take another today. Know what, the last kitten I adopted didn't really have any major health issues but his neutering and all the shots required plus the annual 6 months of Revolution treatment every year have added up to vet bills of over $850 since mid-2010. Today's visit will add another $100 or so to that total....not griping but it surprises me how much a "free" kitten has cost.

warm water with lemon,ginger, and honey instead of coffee this am David and then go back to bed:)

Rick,

Too late for that! Once I'm really awake, I'm awake for good. Besides, I've already had one cup and going to get my next one...

Picture of cup is for reference...

I will do elderberry, olive leaf, oregano oil on the natural side, Zicam & Umka on the natureopathic side, and I will go outside and do something in the sunshine for some virtamin D. Really it is a very minor cold, more of an annoyance. Biggest risk is I used to sing Bass in the Church Choir, and we do a big patriotic Church service for Thanksgiving, and I am reading and singing for it, so I need my voice.

I'm working from home today. I also need to clear some leaves off my trails for tomorrows opening of rifle deer season... I need some ability to sneak up on them...

David

25 degrees this morning coffee is hot, wood fire getting hotter and of all things Brettin Woods and Loom Mountain ski resorts open today! Sure sign that snow will start blowing soon. Actually they are making most if not all of the snow on the. Hill! Third day of riffle season and my record holds tight, zero sightings!

LOL that is quite a cup David, a couple of those and I would be up for a week! I have the troopers show up in the cove this afternoon, their fall drive around the island get sea time thing and as there is noone around they stopped in for a nice 3 hour visit but I had a little too much coffee and am still buzzin and they left 12 hours ago lol

Wish I could just go outside for that vitamin D, our sun is so low angle right now even all 7 hours of sunlight doesnt give any, not complaining tho it is nice to be in wind down mode, all the gear is on the beach and just putzing around taking care of projects for a while.

Good luck on opening day, watch out for all the yahoos who shoot at any noise they hear, pretty amazing thread about that guy in Maine being shot with a 3006 in the chest, walking to his car and driving away to call for help, wow!

Happy Black Friday TBNers!

Got 1,000 business cards delivered today for my car valeting which I shall distribute over the weekend to hopefully bring in some business.

I'm very impressed with the quality, they are worth the money paid.

I will perhaps post a picture of one later if you guys are interested.

Hope everybody has a good day and snaps up some Christmas bargains.
