My sister LINDI has two angora goats. She plans to harvest wool in march for the first time.

My mother Vicky has worked very hard to grow these chicks up from day olds. They no longer need lights and are now outside but still in the predator proof cage.

Friends. Good News! We have processed our pasture ranged chickens today. Beautifully packed and professionally dressed. No medication. No Hormones. Only natural grains, grass and bugs. Price R35 per kg. Pay by 1 March please: cash or cheque. Kindly SMS how many you want and I will bring them in to the office in the morning. Yours in Clean Food, Tim Hewitt-Coleman

The tanks have been installed for a year now and these are the first fish to breed out.

The problem of course with growing 165 chickens in the backyard is that things end up looking like a dump. Family begins to rebel a little.

Loading off at the Abatoir. Certified and health inspected.

Thursday – 24 February 2011. 165 broilers loaded up and ready to go to Abatoir.

Thys from East Cape Broilers supplies my day old chicks and a lot of free advice!

The tractor at Tsitsikama Witelleibos is broken again. Sicelo has not been able to plough. The tractor is broken more often than it is fixed. I am sure that a lot more ploughing would happen if their were no tractor for people to wait around for! With no tractor people would harness their donkeys or their oxen and just get on with it. ” But we are not Peasant farmers” says the drunk and slurring Boyana. ” we are commercial farmers. How can we be seen to plough with oxen when we are commercial farmers?”
