Hot Pepper


One plant that must be grown here on the 2811 is hot pepper. Melissa loves it and now she has some of the kids eating it as well. It's a little too hot for me but they love it so we plant a few of them. This one is a Cayenne but we also usually plant Jalapeno and this year we planted one called a cow horn which has been a hit as well. You would think that these fireballs would be bad for your stomach but research actually shows that they are good for it. It kills some of the bad guys that cause trouble.

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).
