Snow on the 2811!

Snow has become quite rare here on the farm in recent years, but this year we actually got a few inches. Enough to take a half day off work and for the kids to play in it and build a small snowman. I know many people who grew up in the north who could care less about seeing snow, but for us southerners snow is a big event. We raid the grocery stores and watch for the school/business closings. Our snow came in March this year; a little late but welcome none the less.

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).
