Getting Greener


Reducing.
Recycling.
Reusing.                                                 



How we do this on the Farm.

* Solar powered clothes dryer.
   (my all-time favorite Reducing chore)


*Grow our own Food (well most of it)
   (eat by the Grace of Nature, not Industry)


*Raise our own Meat
  (reject the petroleum-rich industrial food)



*Make our own Laundry Soap and Natural cleaners (sorry Procter and Gamble)


*Shop at stores once a month. (no time to shop when we're always working on the Farm!!)
                                                  ( feeding animals and hoeing is more fun than shopping anyhow)

*Compost:     Goats compost the weeds and leftovers
                         Chickens compost leftovers from the garden
                         Dogs compost leftovers and bones


*Plant Trees:   Fruit trees for fruit and wine
                        Trees on the west side of house to help keep cool in summer
                        Trees for firewood for heating
                 
*Opt out of the volatile and expensive economy (stay local)
