Welcome to the Snail Creek Farm Blog. This is Laurel. I plan to use this blog to bring you updates about the farm and let you see some of the everyday happenings. I plan to post at least weekly to bring you something including frugal life tips that I have picked up since starting to farm. Maybe some of our family's favorite beef recipes will show up here. Who knows?
Life has a strange way of bringing things around. I never thought I'd be this involved in farming; that it would be my primary source of income. Dad has been farming all his life, so has his father and grandfather before him. However, he didn't raise his children to be farmers. It is something we came back to as adults. My sisters and I decided that we would help take dad's beef and crop commodities market directly to the consumer and started selling beef about a year ago. Eleven months ago I lost my day job and when the new year began I decided that I was going to make my living farming. I currently have 11 calves that dad is teaching me to raise (he has many more of his own). This will be a fun and interesting transition over the next few years as I work to learn the operation and dad slowly transitions toward retirement. I hope you enjoy the blog as we go along.
This week I promise to bring you my favorite frugal tip that I love to share. I'll let you know how to make a year's worth of powdered laundry soap for under $20. Yes, it does work in a front loading or HE washing machine.
