Ranch Diary

This is our own little ranch blog on the Internet. The ranch is always very busy throughout the year, we plant the spring and fall garden, can and preserve the harvest, deliver new goat kids, make cheese and dairy products and many more activities that make up a ranch. Below is our "Ranch Diary" of all our activities during the years. Take a peek below and follow two old crusty farmers as they show you what life is like on a working ranch.

July 10, 2006	Hugh has harvested the last of the black-eyed, and zipper peas and was very busy during the week shelling and blanching peas to put up in the freezer. He also made some excellent sweet pickle relish for all the cucumbers and will be making pickles this weekend. The kitchen always smells like vinegar for a few days after making pickles.
July 3, 2006	We bought a 20x10 portable car port to use as an extra goat shelter since the rainy season has started and all the goat stalls are getting over-crowded. It took only a few hours to put up and the goats and donkey love it.
July	Pam has started a new business venture a few months ago called, "Great Goat Gear", where she is making goat harnesses and other working goat equipment for sale. In her spare time (what little there is), she is busy designing and stitching harnesses. She hopes to have the website up and have a full inventory later this winter. If you look on the sales page you can see some of the items that the ranch will be selling.
July 1st, 2006	Hugh has officially retired from Polk Community College where he was a professor of accounting and business. He is now happy to be working full time on the ranch and looks forward to making plans for the new goat dairy
