yummy! I love knowing exactly what is in my food. I have even found a feed company about 30 miles away who will mix grain exactly as I want it with no medications or growth hormones...My piggies love it...my goats love it and I love it and the price is no different than the garbage I have been buying from a local feed company.
I wish I could grow everything we ate! Your grain find sounds excellent! Theres no telling what in the feed I give my poor critters. A few weeks ago my husband picked up a bag of scratch from a different feed store, it had some funky white dust in it. Lord only knows what it was. I was sure glad when that bag was gone!
I love being able to grow our vegetables and some fruit. Oh I sure understand about the strawberries, every time a family member goes past the strawberry plants they grab a handful of berries and eat them while working outside. If this keeps up, I won't have any to make jam, dehydrate, and freeze.
How great!!! Looks delicious! Can't wait for mine to catch up now that the weather is doing better. How many strawberry plants did you have in order to get a pie out of them this year?
I think I have almost 30. I planted alot last year but the chickens destroyed half of them so I planted about 18 more this year. Its last years plants that are really putting out the strawberries ☺
I do love going to the garden around supper time and looking to see what I can bring to the table from it. Fresh home grown is great. The kiddos seem to like it better b/c we have grown it ourselves. Not too bad to grab a jar of something home grown from the cupboard in January either!

I know what you mean between my little one "helping" me harvest them and the bugs getting about 1/3 of the crop. I'm lucky to get whatever I can ☺
