Before...

We got the garden spot tilled up for the first time this year yesterday. The chickens are enjoying the fresh dirt to scratch around in for now. The kids also enjoyed running around in it. I love our rear-tine tiller attachment for the tractor...I can't imagine the old days of plowing up everything with a mule and a plow. We will try to till it up a couple more times before we lay off rows and plant our garden. Then I'll post some "after" pics once everything gets growing. We hope to can alot of vegetables this year so we're praying for a good garden year.

Welcome!

Welcome to our family blog. We have a small (55 acres) farm and are attempting to raise beef cattle, some hay, laying hens, honey bees, a dog and a small garden. We also have a small pond that has fish in it but they pretty much raise themselves.The Twenty-eight eleven is the name of our farm. It comes from Deutronomy 28:11 which reads: "The LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you." We count on God's blessings for our life as we know it so we thought it appropriate to go ahead and give Him all the glory for anything good that we produce, be it crops, cows, or children. This blog will be a fun project for us to document what is going on at our farm and hopefully share some natural ways of farming along the way (as we learn too).
