    Jason! I have to tell you! I'm an old grandma here - every single time we get blessed by a download from you & you're wonderful family - it just brings me so much joy!! From the lessons you give us, to the great humor that just flows from you - I absolutely love you guys! Especially the way you talk to your animals ... the "cabbage party" comments - you end up making me feel like your animals each have personalities of their own. I just don't know how to convey how entertaining it is for me, sometimes if I'm feeling down & lonely. You help to bring me back up I adore you & your beautiful wife & daughter! Wish I could adopt you kids!! ❤❤❤❤

I love that you take the time with them and the pigs to be caring and kind with them all. Lorraine, your dinner looked amazing! Blessings to you all ♥

    You need to get together with your friend Ben Hollar about putting in a orchard. You also have the space to put in enough berry bushes to meet your needs and beyond. If youre willing to be patient, many of the cane berries can be propogated from cuttings wintered in the high tunnel.
