Weblog Archives
During 2011 and 2012 we posted a wide variety of weblog articles. These articles spanned a wide range of topics, and occurred every 1-7 days. We stopped writing the blog entries in April 2012 because we simply couldn't keep up with those writing tasks on top of everything else we were trying to do.
In the future we hope to get back to providing at least weekly blog entries. In the meantime, we are pleased to provide this archive. We have organized the blog entries according to both topic, and date. We also still have a backlog of weblog pages to categorize into the appropriate topics. We know it's taking awhile to work through that backlog. Thank you for your patience.
Weblogs by Date
We published blogs every 1-7 days, with more frequent postings early on and once/weekly postings towards the end of our blogging period. So the early months will have a lot of entries per month. Alas, if only there were ways to fold everything we want to do, into each 24 hour day.......

Our Successful Farming and Ranching Books
We released our very first self-published book. The Chicken Coop Manual in 2014. It is a full color guide to conventional and alternative poultry housing options, including 8 conventional stud construction plans, 12 alternative housing methods, and almost 20 different design features. This book is available on Amazon.com and as a PDF download. Please visit The Chicken Coop Manual page for more information.
Rabbit Colonies: Lessons Learned
We started with rabbits in 2002, and we've been experimenting with colony management ever since. Fast forward to 2017, when I decided to write another book, this time about colony management. The book is chock-full of practical information, and is available from both Amazon and as a PDF download. Please visit the Rabbit Colonies page for more information.
The Pastured Pig Handbook
We are currently working on our next self-published book: The Pastured Pig Handbook. This particular book addresses a profitable, popular and successful hog management approach which sadly is not yet well documented. Our handbook, will cover all the various issues involved with pastured hog management, including case studies of numerous current pastured pig operations. If you have any questions about this book, please Contact Us.
