One of the most important things today's small farmers can do is to keep trying new things. Above you see our latest attempt: Bee Hives. Now don't get the wrong idea. We know nothing about bees and even less about bee keeping. Naavah, 4 year old grandchild, had to educate me on the number of eyes bees have.
Anyway, here we go with another joint effort to keep things humming (sorry!) here at the farm. What we've done is contract with a beekeeper who situated his hives on our land. He will have responsibility for the maintenance, gathering, etc. In exchange, he keeps us lavishly supplied with honey and takes the excess for himself.
This works well for us. We don't sell anything we harvest, reap, or grow here. But we do eat exceedingly well. Our eggs are for us, our meat is for us, and now our honey is for us. What we do get is the knowledge that the kids are eating the best food in the world. No preservatives, no hormones just organic everything. I am very proud of Dan and Yael for their commitment to giving the healthy best to their kids. After all, these are my super, exceptional grandchildren and only the best will do for them.
Til next time.
