Back to the Basics

 A question that sometimes drives me hazy; Am I or are the others crazy?​ 
Albert Einstein

Everywhere. The news, your friends, social media, the doctor's office, church announcements - they are all talking about the change the world is seeing from the effects of COVID-19. It's enough to make anyone crazy!! I'm not going to debate the politics of it all. We, like everyone else, are just trying to navigate life and plan for the future. And how do you even go about that in a world that seems to have turned upside down in a matter of weeks?

Instead of getting bogged down with questions like
"why is there still no Charmin on the shelf?"
"will there be any NFL this fall?"
and the bigger questions
"will closing these meat plants impact our food supply?" 
"how will our economy rebound with so many millions out of work and so many small businesses closing?"

Maybe we can focus on what we can do to make ourselves less reliant on those issues in the first place. After years of focusing solely on goats, we are now waiting on a new shipment of day-old chickens, starting tomato plants, (where DID I put those okra pods??) and waiting for the rain to stop so we can get that garden ready again! ​It's not a move out of fear, but more of a sense of getting back to the basics of loving this lifestyle and enjoying it with a balance of agricultural activites. When you are busy working, there is less time to let outside influences in your head. Turning off the news and beginning new projects is what's up around here!

So maybe you have the garden, the chickens, some rabbits, maybe some cattle and are thinking that goats might be a good addition for uncertain times. Or this is your first venture into a more self-reliant lifestyle. Maybe safer-at-home has you staring out into your backyard and thinking in a new direction. Whatever your needs or your goals, send us an email or give us a call to see if we can be of help in your plans for the future! ​​​
