Self Intro of Dona in OK

[Guest guest]

Hi all, My name is Dona and i live with my family in Northeats OK.

Hmm, family = dad, 3 boys and 2 girls on 15 acres w/ dogs, cats,

quail & dairy goats (5 does).

We are very much in the BEGINNINGS of our homestead but loving most

every minute. We are milking one goat right now and raising 3 new

doelings this winter.

Im making kefir every morning for myself and seeing actual

improvements in my health. have one daughter that craves the kefir. I

guess the rest are so out of shape, they dont know they need it...but

Im working on them.

I love God, family & country... the internet too - lol (manage

several forums myself) and books. Ive homeschooled for 14 yrs and

have 12 yrs to go IF I allow them to graduate...I like having them

around <grin>.

I love Salatins book Family Friendly Farming and agree with near

all of it. Im here because a friend suggested you were a great place

to go for questions about raw milk. Dont know that I have any at the

moment, 'cept maybe " is it still good for you with hersheys added to

it? Just kidding of course.

Looking forward to learning from you all. We are hatching about 60

chicks this week and I just LOVE IT! Ah! question....can the goats

and the chickens share the same barn?

Blessings!

Welcome Dona!

There are several homeschool moms on this list. Alas, I'm not one as

my kids are adults now. This is a great place for learning all kinds

of RawDairy related health stuff. I'm also a kefir consumer. I make

it into fruit smoothies and love it. And I have at least one

pekingese dog who is addicted to it (the others lap it up too, but

not like Chewy!)

And I'm with you about the Hershey's!

Who's going to work on making a pourable chocolate syrup that's

actually healthy (I'll share the recipe when I figure it out)

Rhonda,

Youre a woman after my heart! No way...healthy chocolate? Actually I

heard somewhere its full of antioxidants (cocoa) and that its the

sugar that is the bad element (1 Tblsp PROCESSED white sugar

supposedly shuts your immune system down for 20 minutes).

Ill watch for your post!

HUGS from Oklahoma!

Hi Dona! I've meant to welcome you and have just been busy. You know

how it is!

I'm a homeschooling, goat & chicken raising, kefir drinking Mom of a

4 1/2 year old daughter & a 16 month old son. I'm not a newbie to

homeschooling. Though you would guess I am from my children's

ages. I homeschooled my step kids for several years and also

helped a mom of nine to homeshool her kids.

Glad to see someone else from OK here!

Blessings,

Kim(Checotah, OK)
