Happy birthday I hope you and your little family have an awesome day! Great post! Have been readying for a fully home-grown and raised diet! No more store bought food. I know it will be tough, but I think we can do it! We did it for a short period last year, and what a difference, this year I have a garden planed through Jan, so we should be able to can enough during the summer and have greens with our meat during the winter... as long as the weather does not do a presto changeo on us again...
