- eggs, eggs, eggs

I think it is time for us to actually start selling some eggs... want some?  

Our eggs are free from anti-biotics, hormones, and by-product filler feed.  They are laid by hens raised on pasture and allowed to express their "chicken-ness".  We encourage you to come by and see for yourself how your food is being raised. 

$3.50 per dozen // Contact us if interested: mail@lpfarm.org or (812) 606-8783

- barocky road ice cream

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ."

Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes.  The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.  The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but after you pay for it,  the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.

You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.

Are you stimulated?

--thanks for sending this to me Jim --

- what else do I need to say?

My wife sent me one of these, but I found them both at the Baltimore Sun and thought I'd share them.  Another situation where I chuckle, then shake my head in sadness and dismay because they are both so true.

Oh yeah, I know this is a bit degrading to sheep (sorry Larry), but we have become like a nation of sheep willing to follow the shepherd wherever he deems it best to take us; even if it is right off the edge of a cliff.

- a great man tried to warn us

Just like so many others - he tried to warn us, but we have proven to be too stupid to heed their warnings.  I said after the election, we deserve whatever evil/stupidity we get; we brought it upon ourselves.  It is we who have allowed the brainwashing of our children in schools and the ever increasing dependency on the government.  As the old Toyota slogan stated "You asked for it, You got it".

- ducks

Just when you thought we couldn't get any crazier, we go ahead and prove you wrong.  A couple days ago I was on the way home from the airport and stopped at a “country store” for a few supplies; I decided to try something else new.

Yes they are very cute, but that had nothing to do with my decision to bring them home; I figured they would be fun to raise, but would taste good in few months.  I had read that you could raise this particular breed (Pekin) alongside chickens, so I figured “why not give it a shot?”  We’ll see how they work out; so far they are doing well and are providing some entertainment at the same time.

- enjoying the sun

As you can see, we are not the only ones enjoying the warmer weather that has arrived.  It is a fairly common sight to see Turkey Vultures perched around our property, but it is not often that they are this close to the house.

- twitter

I finally gave in and jumped on the band wagon, one of them anyway.  I created a Twitter account and am updating it regularly.  As you will discover, I will "tweet" about each new blog post, but I will also send brief messages throughout the day simply telling what we are doing at Liberty Pastures.

I think it is great (especially for distant family members) who feel out of touch; if you want to know what we are doing all you need to do is create your own Twitter account and enter your e-mail or cell phone number; it is very simple.  If you need help just give me a call and I will walk you through it.
