Final Post

Hello everyone.




This will be my last post on this blog. As most of you know, my wife of thirty some years died almost 2 years ago. I tried to keep up on the blog and put things there. I feel I have failed miserably. Sorry.



Last year I remarried, and we have been working to build a life of our own together. Part of that has been trying to figure out what to do with the farm and make it “ours” and what to do with the blog. I’m learning to blog, and maybe this is my personal replacement for Face Book. I do have a page, but I do nothing with it, and I’m not out to see how many friends I can get, either.



So somewhere along the line Jeanne (my new wife) and I came up with a new name for our place. We call it “The All In 1 Basket Farm”. We came to that decision because we want to lots of things here and it’s going to be a little of everything. We didn’t want to delete or take anything from this blog, and so we have created a new blog. The new blog is located at:



http://theallin1basketfarm.weebly.com/



And this is where all the new blog posts will be. We have put several on there already and I try to include more as time goes on. Part of it is for my family and others who follow us, and part of it is for our customers, the people who buy the birds and things we raise here on the farm. So they know how we do things and what goes on here. Lots of people this year have asked about how we raise our birds and if they are raised ethically. Well, we really hope so. They are about the closest things you can get to pets. But we refuse to name most of them, because we know the day we collect the eggs for the incubators, that the birds are destined for someone’s dinner table. So make no mistake about it, what we do is raise turkeys for people to eat. And we raise some darn good birds too! They’ll eat out of our hands and follow us around the yard. When we go outside they come running hoping we will give them something to eat.



We want to thank all of you who follow our blog for your time in doing so, and now we have moved and hope that you will continue to follow us, and grow along with us and share all that we do here on the farm.



Thank you.
