More sheds, more wwoofers, more hens on their way



G'day All,

Flock three have settled in well and are closing in on their target of 400 eggs per day! Flock four will be here in two weeks and construction of their new roosting sheds is almost complete (see pic attached), thanks the the amazing talents of Pommie carpenter Richard.

The two piglets are growing incredibly quickly, must be the great eggs they eat each day, and the previous pig is providing many delicious meals. We've also tried some of the hens and they taste great too. The puppies are still very immature and require constant supervision around the hens. In the piepline is plans to get fish into the dams and some cows, sheep and goats. Complete self sufficiency may not be possible but it is my dream to produce most of my own food (and trade with other like minded farmers), capture my own water (which I already do) and also create my own power. We've already enjoyed many meals where all the meat, vegetables, fruit and herbs were all produced on the property.

Hard at work in the grading shed you can see Risa and Indonesian novellist Rhino and don't they look happy!

Cheers,
Dan
