On April 29, we had 2 goats, 4 kittens, and dozens of chicks birthed on the farm.

Good stuff, sir.
Thanks.
What do you feed the chickens? Corn shipped in from Iowa?
I am so jealous. Here in Massachusetts we had a frost this week and the peach trees don't have leaves yet, much less peaches. I am curious about your decision to farm. TEOTWAWKI worries, farming in your blood, retirement dream or a sudden attack of good sense?
Dear Anon@8:10 PM:
Sarcasm is not becoming...
We grow our own feed corn for the chickens, though corn is not a very satisfactory feed for chickens (we are trying pearl millet and sorgham). Half the year they require little to no feed as we let them free range completely. During the rest of the year we feed them mostly what we grow and they have a 1/3 acre pasture run that provides a significant percentage of their diet, though I did bring up 50 lbs of oyster shells from a friend's restaurant in Florida.
I actually posted these pictures to the wrong blog... I have another blog:
jeffersfarm.blogspot.com
Perhaps that blog will answer your question better.

Combination retirement dream (I have already lived in Florida), attack of good sense (I am an older dad, and wanted to show my young children how to do something useful), and farming in my blood.
TEOTWAWKI might have had something, too. I always tell my wealthy clients that they should own farmland as an investment and as insurance, so I am putting my money where my mouth is.
Same reasons for us. Our place is not as big but we grow a significant amount of food on. It's water self sufficient. It's a walkable community with rural/agricultural roots that go back to the 1700's. Our youngest crop of kids are all adopted so we are much older parents and wanted to provide a place for our children should the worst happen. We are now truying to buy some adjoining houses and land with the older bunch of kids. We have never regretted selling off some investments to buy the land or the tangibles like tools, greenhouse and so on. I am glad you're back. You are one of the 3 blogs I never miss, even when time is short.
Soy Milk Helps Increase Height
It is certain that milk and derivatives of it helps produce stronger bones. It also helps in our growth. But aside from the regular milk, soy milk also helps in gaining a few more inches. Phytoestrogen, a hormone that is similar to estrogen, is contained in soy milk. This assists greatly in physical growth, which is why many athletes drink this rather than the regular milk.
Soy milk is best served with a complete meal. It cannot be placed as substitute but a complement. It is better than the regular milk simply because it has less fat. It also contains a high amount of protein that is important for height improvement. Furthermore, it contains anti-oxidants that are necessary for a healthy body. It also contains a lot of vitamin D which is necessary for better absorption of calcium. It contains a lot of fiber and can be fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. Lastly, it helps improve bone formation, which is needed to increase height. Visit here at, http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
However complete it may be, as mentioned before, it is still just a complement. If you are aiming to grow taller, it would be better to join growth enhancement programs. You can also utilize growth hormone boosters, like Growth Flex V Pro System. Get a height supplement that is proven to have positive results.
As athletes do, balanced diet and regular exercise is necessary to increase height. Improving posture is also important. You can be physically active by joining different sports such as swimming and cycling. Or you can opt for regular massage therapies. Go to http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
