What did you accomplish today?

Once the cows are gone I planned on doubling the size of our garden if not bigger. We've shared some of our homemade salsa and had a lot of people want to buy more but we usually only make enough for ourselves with a few extra jars. I could see that being a money maker. Just need a bigger setup for boiling in larger quantities, shouldn't be a problem though since so many of my neighbors sell maple syrup equipment.
be careful about whats legal and what you could be liable for. they have weird rules here, if it's produce, you can sell it as is, and not worry about it, but the minute you start "processing" it...which equals making anything with it, or even canning it, that makes it a different product and a bunch of rules and regulations start to apply.....and you need a license......

I checked and I should be good in WI.

Canned goods:

Home producers are allowed to make jams, jellies, pickled goods, sauces, and any other canned goods that are acidic enough to be safe (needs a pH under 4.6). You can sell home-canned fruits and vegetables that are naturally acidic or have been acidified by pickling or fermenting. Examples of allowable products:

  • pickled fruits and vegetables (not refrigerator pickles)
  • salsas and chutneys o sauerkraut and kimchi
  • jams and jellies o applesauce
Not sure if your product can be sold without a license? Contact University of Wisconsin Extension: 608-263-7383 or Wisconsin Dept of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection: 608-224-4682.

Taking puppy to neurologist today, looking for mri/cft 3 more seizures since the one in Aug.

At least the shingles seems to be subsiding.

Not realy any good news. Confirmed my house is gone, along with my sisters and brothers house. I’ll take a pic and post it here once they let us back in.

As I was saying it can always be worse, my buddies house burnt down with dogs in it.

Your awesome dude. I appreciate the offer but i’m good like that. One thing i did grab on my way out was some cash. Plus my insurance will be reimbursing me. Thanks again.

i'm looking for a piece of particular property. flat enough that it's not subject to any kind of slides. high enough to not be liable to flooding.
wooded, but i plan to clear at least a 200 foot square patch in the middle of it for a house, with no trees in reach if they fall. i'm going to build a mostly buried house, and plan on the exposed walls to have large glass brick windows in them.
in short, a disaster proof bunker.....put up a couple of wind turbines and a few solar panels, and the world can burn......
