About Me

- Emily
- Fairbanks, Alaska
- I am a stay at home mom taking care of our two young children, a small herd of dairy goats, chickens, ducks and at times various other critters. We are trying to produce as much of our own food as possible on our eight and three quarter acres of boreal hillside forest. We milk our goats, drink raw milk and make cheese. We raise enough poultry to meet our egg and chicken meat needs. We are working towards growing enough vegetables in our short season to get us through our long winters. General interests include: herbal medicine making, preserving food through canning, dehydrating, juicing and lacto fermentation, baby wearing, cloth diapering, yoga, making my own lotions, cosmetics, home cleansers and anything else I can think of. Someday I'll make time for: ceramics, spinning, weaving and painting.

Wow! You guys have really worked hard, and I have to say those are some great looking veggies, and the apples...I wish I could reach through my screen and grab one!
I imagine there's not much time left up where you're at to get the harvesting done. When do you usually get your first hard freeze and/or snow?
Have a great weekend!
Where did you get your hay from? Looks nice.
That was out at the Quist farm. It is the closest farm to us, maybe twelve miles by road, just a few as the crow flies. It has turned out to be better hay than I first thought it was, and at eight dollars a heavy bale, it can't be beat. Should have gotten more.
Denise, we usually get our first frost about now, late September. First snow in early October, although it doesn't always stay around till mid/late October. Trying to finish up the garden this weekend. Ground might be a bit frozen by next weekend.
Oh, how I love Harvest. everything about your photos screams Autumn. Makes me wish Texas had a little more color this time of year:) barefoot Mama
