Today finally a bit time to make the first sandblocks, time to start the pepper, paprika, aubergine, field bean, spinach, salad, onion, flowers and potato.
Still winter but preparation for spring, feels so good it warms up a bit.

From what the chickens give, is for our son. His first hens are laying now, and he says thank you and gives them a huge. He knows the difference between breeding and meat chickens and is going to learn that also with rabbits.
He can help grow vegetables and fruit and share at school, like he did in Kindergarten.
The project is for the Kindergarten and school, to experience and learn how to grow.

Some plants have more and if they use those for better production, they are not going to get those out after 10 years or less if they could grow more generations in one year. So there you have that economics money evil.

Do not have a cow or so, so use milk powder lamb is cheapest over here. And is in a Bucket with lid, use over and over again for cat feed or making mash you name it.

Or just buy the grains separated and mix yourself.

As simple as possible please, no etsy or ebay and so on for that reason. Just want to be able to sell private, not as a shop to make money.
How about the rules USA and Europe all over the world?

They are like potatoes good food, if they get invasive just keep mowing that area. Or let the chickens deal with them, they give them no chance to grow.

Will keep praying, so many praying and so many prayers!

The Bresse are doing the best, if I was a farmer would take them for eggs and then after 1 one laying season meat. They will lay maybe a couple less eggs, but the cost will be less because they are such good foragers and will pay extra with excellent meat.
