Breezy Hill Update 41512
- I just checked and Green Pastures has the Coconut/Ghee in stock. It is about $49/gal. Several of you had wanted this and it was not available. Please reconfirm your order, and I will place the order on this Tuesday. If you want any of the cod liver oil products let me know that too. Since this item is in such demand, I definitely need to know by Tuesday.
- Anyone wanting a "dirt" hog let me know. It will be about another two weeks before they are ready.
- Chickens. We will be doing our first batch in about three weeks. They are already spoken for. The next batch will be three weeks later. We hope to do several batchs every three weeks until the hot weather hits, and then we will resume in early fall. They will weigh about 5 # and are $3.25/#. They are a much better value than the 3# birds they sell at Nature's Pantry for $4.89/#.
- We need more milk customers. Sweetpea is something to behold. We have made butter and it is golden, just like the yolks in our eggs. It's the grass, folks. We have made fromage blanc, cottage cheese both large and small curd and quark. I even messed up a batch of cottage cheese and made the best cheddar curds. Great snack food.
- How are we doing with the Salatin book? You don't want to get stuck with it in December and have to pay for postage to return it. It is sort of like the card game Old Maid. Remember, you don't want to get stuck with the old maid.
- Anyone want a great set of golf clubs? We have Debra's father's set and need to find a home for them.

Still more on GMO and Monsanto. My neighbors have GMO wheat and are using aerial spraying. They just about have completed the circle, 80% plus of the corn, same with soybeans, sugar beets, now wheat and there will be sweet corn this year. Avoiding the GMO foods is becoming very problematic. My two acres of wheat are looking mighty good. I cancelled email notifications from Jung’s. Jung’s is a garden seed company and is owned by Monsanto. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2099/12/31/ge-food-cause-birth-defects.aspx?e_cid=20120414_DNL_artTest_B3

Know anyone who is taking an antidepressant drug? You may want to forward this to them. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/14/antidepressants-cause-heart-disease.aspx?e_cid=20120414_DNL_art_1

On the surface, having cheaper food may seem like an advantage, but in reality while Americans may be saving a few dollars on their meals, they’re paying big time in terms of their health, and the health of the planet.
"Cheap food is an illusion. There is no such thing as cheap food. The real cost of the food is paid somewhere. And if it isn't paid at the cash register, it's charged to the environment or to the public purse in the form of subsidies. And it's charged to your health." Here is the article. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/14/eat-well-without-spending-more.aspx?e_cid=20120414_DNL_art_2
that's it from the hill for this week. Art and Debra
