Notes From Zone 4

Found you in my stats and decided to tell the world:

Glad to see you are using WordPress. Have you seen this? It’s a CMS built on WordPress.

Also, if you don’t have Lorelle in your feed reader, you might want to do so. She has been a longtime support moderator and usually has the ear of the developers. Occasionally she writes something fluffy, but more often she knows what’s going on before anyone else does, and she’s good at pulling information together and writing clearly. If you already read her, everything I’ve said is superfluous. She recently did a post on image managing plugins, which is what made me think to mention her.

Hi! I love your site, and I love the adopt-a-lamb program. The cell phone ringtone idea is brilliant. I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a short interview for my website (www.newenglandgrown.com) about adopt-a-lamb? Drop me an email at kjweldon AT yahoo DOT com if you would be interested.

Thanks.

Sounds wonderful- Lily from Othala Acres mentioned your site on Heathen Homesteads. I would love to have icelandic chickens (so far mostly we’ve had auracaunas). I understand there’s a waiting list for chicks? I’m in Lyndeboro- about an hour east of Keene, so it’s not too terribly far. Do let me know if it would be possible. I only would want a half dozen of them.Tchipakkan

We’re happy to sell chicks. Normally it’s not so much a waiting list as that they’re hatched to order, which takes three weeks. Unfortunately, our incubator died Monday just as I started a batch for someone. I’m waiting for a part, so it would be six weeks or more before we could provide any.

Hi, I am looking to buy 3-4 baby chicks. We live in Washington, NH, which is close by! I am wondering if you would consider selling some babies? We are looking for a small backyard flock for eggs.
Thanks,
Jody

Sure — I will put you on the list! These guys make a great backyard flock. It’s what they did for all those centuries in Iceland.

Do you have eggs for sale these days?

Hi,

I’m a former Derry NH resident. Nice to see your great site. I am wondering how your Farmtek hay storage building survived the winter.

Also the mentioning of duct tape makes me think the cover tears? It’s hard to find real-life reviews of that item.. Thanks

It did really well, and this was the second snowiest winter on record. The cover has held up really well, no tears at all, and we got the model with the supports fairly close together for the snow load.

i found a picture of you with your home made cream seperator on flickr and i’d love it can you tell me/the world how you made it please

Just received the honey in the mail. Delicious! and thanks for the little piece of raw wool - much appreciated it - my cat loved it too, sniffed it with much interest then proceeded to roll over the floor clawing it with his 4 paws - had to stop him else he’ d destroy it.

PS. Have you considered selling your honey *raw*. They fetch higher prices, besides being healthier. I think WholeFoods has a program to help & sell from small local farmers, btw.
