Self-intro from

[Guest guest]

I'm , wife to Chip, lifestyle of learning mom to 3 children 16yog, 12 yog,

7yob. My

girls have learned how to milk and garden right along with me and my son is just

now tall

enough to milk and I'm sure will have the stamina now for it this season as

well.

We garden chemically free, have a small orchard, raise poultry, nubian/alpine

cross dairy

goats, french angora rabbits, dutch rabbits, new zealands and lots of flowers on

2.4 acres

in NE OK. We're ready to get a larger place now that my husband has grown used

to the

idea of all these critters and healthier food. Since living here, I've learned

to use bio-

intensive methods, milk animals, shear sheep, butcher goat wethers, butcher

ducks,

butcher turkeys, butcher chickens, make butter, make soft and hard cheeses,

build

hoophouses, and to teach others as I go. We'd love to find a larger property

where we

could have young people come and apprentice and learn a way of life other than

the

american rat race.

I've had quite a few health problems over the years, and been trying to regain

my health

and energy since the fall of 2001. Nutritional supplements, Kefir,

lacto-fermented

vegetables, raw goat milk, drug free meats, and prayer have restored my quality

of life.

I'm still trying to get over what a chiropractor says is a slow liver and an

internal fungus

problem. We had mold in our home due to a leak at the kitchen sink and were in

the

house for 4 or 5 months with it before we figured out that was making me so

sick.

My own recovery of my mind and energy is a testimony to the good of raw milk. I

was one

who hadn't drunk milk straight as a beveredge in many years because I didn't

know that

raw goat milk is such a different product from the adulterated white stuff they

sell you as

milk in supermarkets. I read Dr. Bernard Jensen's goat milk magic AFTER I had

gotten

quite a bit of relief from drinking goat milk kefir. That convinced me to try

drinking goat

milk freshly strained and still warm once I had my own goats. It was hard at

first

psychologically to drink warm milk, but after a few days of an appreciable

improvement in

my general sense of well being and energy levels, I was hooked.
