Christiansen's Family Farm & Hog Heaven: CAFOs and the Inhumane Treatment of Animals

http://christiansenshogheaven.blogspot.com/2009/04/we-advertise-that-we-treat-our-animals.html

Thursday, April 2, 2009. CAFOs and the Inhumane Treatment of Animals. We advertise that we treat our animals humanely. Some people find this odd and will ask something to the effect of, “Aren’t all animals just raised on a farm and then slaughtered? 8221; Or, “What kind of inhumane treatment exists at other farms? Stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. The majority of the meat in the US is raised in CAFOs. Workers are required to wear respirators since the ammonia levels from the pigs’ u...

Christiansen's Family Farm & Hog Heaven: Grass & Barley Fed Beef

http://christiansenshogheaven.blogspot.com/2012/12/grass-fed-wbarley-beef.html

Thursday, December 13, 2012. Grass and Barley Fed Beef. In previous generations, the fall season was considered the best time of year to harvest cattle for meat. There are several reasons for this, first the weather was beginning to cool which meant meat wouldn’t spoil as easy. Also there are significantly fewer flies and other insects that could potentially contaminate the meat. However, the main reason is because fall is the time of year that cattle are in their best physical condition. To compensate f...

Christiansen's Family Farm & Hog Heaven: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

http://christiansenshogheaven.blogspot.com/2012/11/teamwork-makes-dream-work.html

Thursday, November 29, 2012. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work. For those who have been customers of our farm for a while, you have hopefully noticed that we are very dedicated to keeping things local. We work with local farmers to grow our hay and grain. We use our neighbors and good friends the Holden family to mill our feed on a weekly basis. This keeps our feed as fresh as possible and nutritional value as high as possible as the feed doesn’t have much time to oxidize before it is consumed. They have tak...

Blueberry Hills Homestead: The Line in The Sky

http://bluehillstead.blogspot.com/2011/08/line-in-sky.html

200 year-old house on 25 rocky acres in high country upstate NY and SO many highbush blueberries! Wednesday, August 3, 2011. The Line in The Sky. Last night I found myself laying on the hammock on the porch to relax a bit before bed. I haven't hammocked much this year as the Lyme meds made me sensitive to heat and it has been dreadfully hot in the sun this summer. Plus, I'm living lower this year, closer to the city where it's warmer. I'm going to a concert tonight with NM, the guy I dated for 5 months e...

Blueberry Hills Homestead: Midway through

http://bluehillstead.blogspot.com/2011/11/midway-through.html

200 year-old house on 25 rocky acres in high country upstate NY and SO many highbush blueberries! Saturday, November 19, 2011. I'm pretty proud of myself right now. The new toilet is in and works fine. There were only a few moments of, "uh oh, what do I do now," when I couldn't shut off the water to the toilet so I shut off the water to the whole room. But the valve still leaked, drip, drip, drippety, drippety drip, and I had to make a fast. Or maybe not that. We'll see how it all looks when I get the ne...

Blueberry Hills Homestead: Try, Try Again

http://bluehillstead.blogspot.com/2011/03/try-try-again.html

200 year-old house on 25 rocky acres in high country upstate NY and SO many highbush blueberries! Thursday, March 10, 2011. Try, Try Again. I've done a bunch of homestead-y things in the last week or so. Most of them are firsts, or first-time variants. Some of it isn't. I made venison jerky, which is drying in the dehydrator now. I know that will taste good. March 10, 2011 at 9:29 AM. I always make our yogurt from raw milk, without any pasteurization, and it turns out fine. (For what thats worth! I think...
