Hope yours goes smoothly (even if fraught at times).<br /><br />Chris.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487456386841182116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-60228237712572114742011-07-30T21:01:25.403-05:002011-07-30T21:01:25.403-05:00Congratulations on the writing!

It's a shame Illinois has been overtaken by corporate mindset farming. But then, that's the mindset here in South Carolina too.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-39739640486286845772011-07-30T18:41:36.681-05:002011-07-30T18:41:36.681-05:00Cro, funny, I always thought Europe was more enlig...Cro, funny, I always thought Europe was more enlightened about organic farming.! Funny huh ? And by "enlightened" I mean to understand that that there are many ways to farm but whatever way we choose should be a manner we feel proud of. <br /><br />Walt, MBJ, I will let you know when they have a release date for the show. Perhaps it will coincide with our "release date" from our wonderful but oh too busy farm :)<br /><br />Crazy, Zan and Lana. You are too kind. I really am not good at everything I do, I just don't speak enough about my faults. For example I have patience issues, patience issues and oh yeah...PATIENCE ISSUES!!Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-15658011759578837452011-07-30T17:07:14.319-05:002011-07-30T17:07:14.319-05:00WOW!

Keep going full strength. Isn't life full of wonderful changes when we least expect them?<br /><br />We'll be wanting to watch this episode about the difference in the meat...keep us all updated! We're just starting the process to get our land organically certified and it gives me INCREDIBLE respect for all you have gone through to get to this stage.<br /><br />Congratulations and SAVOR every moment!

You are a hoot, a gem of a writer, I say!! <br /><br />I am so happy things are happening for you, especially in the way you raise your animals and use REAL farming methods! Isn't it sad that your neighbors ARE suspicious of ORGANIC methods? That's when I say, the brainwashing of this country has been a success, when you have folks choosing chemical laden, sickly animals rather than properly cared for, humanely raised animals and dairy products!<br /><br />But neither here nor there: I am looking forward to stories of your lighthearted assistants--I personally prefer the name "Gunther," myself! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058106414639509476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-64624147009497004772011-07-30T09:40:52.054-05:002011-07-30T09:40:52.054-05:00Such an inspiring post for all us "wanna-be&#...Such an inspiring post for all us "wanna-be's"!

I was talking about being organic to one neighbour recently who said 'It's OK for YOU to be organic, but WE need to make money'. <br /><br />You must feel very proud about your pigs. Well done, and long may you thrive!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
