Weekly Web Finds
Here are some interesting things I’ve found on the web this week:
- This family is living off the grid. They’re moving to a farm with no electricity, no TV (I would die!), etc. All I can say is “WOW!”
- I think this is my favorite. Check out this post from Rooster Hill Farm on the AI Guy. This is about the guy who goes around artificially inseminating cows. You HAVE to see his car! One day there will be an AI guy for alpacas, but maybe not in my lifetime.
- American Farmland Trust: Saving the Land that Sustains Us. Website for your activist side.
Two social networking sites:

Hi, Katy! Thanks for the plug on your blog here for our Farmers for the Future social network! Great to have such an active member like yourself!
Also found you on Twitter, to which I’ve found myself hopelessly addicted these days!
Hey, great chatting with you earlier today via our network. Stay in touch!

Hi Jeff,
It’s nice chatting with you too. And I have the same problem with Twitter. My Tivo is jealous.
See ya in tweetville.

I have not had time to read all of the Eclectic farm move, but did look at the pictures. Sounds nice to me (But to not Mary without my even asking!)
We moved to a farm with no electricity when I was in the third grade. We finally got electricity when I was in the sixth grade. Mom cooked on a wood stove in the beginning.
Then we got a kerosene cook stove and finally an electric stove. She cooked on that same electric stove over 40 years. The only heat was a fireplace and a wood stove in the kitchen. We moved to the county seat(pop. 5000) when I was a senior in HS. I have missed the farm ever since.
Glad to be your friend,
Mac McFatter
