However, my point to this blog is not to downgrade mass production, but to promote smaller farming and outdoor/healthy living. If you follow us at all on Facebook or Twitter you will find that our newfeed has been filled with an adbundance of wonderful fluffy (and hairy) animals who have found their new home on the gorge. We are starting a sustainable farm and garden. BMBR has been blessed with chickens already (read the previous blogs about our chicken love and heartwrenching stories). While chicken farming, we learned about our love for mother nature, the land, and protecting our bodies against harmful chemicals. Our family has expanded into 2 pigs (who are soon to be breeding) 2 angora rabbits and a friendly horse to help along the way, chickens, one cat and a dog. Each animal (including little Snoops- everyones favorite miniature long haired dachshund) has a job around the farm. From feeding our bodies, to using the wool for socks and blankets, herding the animals in at night and running off unwanted farm guests- our animals are very happy and know how to do their job perfectly. We are starting off small in hopes of expanding our farm into a great CSA for children and families to enjoy and learn about a green America.
BMBR is also expanding our Summer gardens into a all year round garden. We have done extensive research of how to grow summer crops in the winter. Our gardens have been put in and ready for planting. (this might answer the questions from our regular sandwich shop comers about how we are going to have fresh products all year round). The new gardens are not just for the sandwiches. Stop by and pick this winter, pick some herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and hang out in our farm.
