Every dollar helps to get us closer to making our outdoor cooking education center a reality! Milk Maid and Milk Men wanted! Want to know how to milk a cow? Think you want to retire and have that homestead? Want to have a lot of raw milk? We train! But there is always a catch. We teach you how to milk a cow, move cows, work with portable electric fencing, you take home all the milk that you get from the cows in exchange for being reliable farmhand back up. Two weeks are spent in intensive training, then once you can do the job independently you will be expected to milk once every two weeks to keep in shape. Milking times are flexible mornings or evenings. SPECIAL TOURS FOR THE FALL Farm Therapy Hours We will also be adding Farm Therapy hours. These are for YOUR mental health. Time spent on the farm just sitting with, petting animals, brushing or just enjoying the relaxed pace watching the animals.

Our Bobcat 873 All-purpose machine has died. Please consider making a donation to help us buy a tractor! Our tractor is used every month to unload our pallet of feed (join our co-op if you want to feed your animals like ours). In our effort to build topsoil, improve soil ecology and try different grass seed varieties, our tractor is used to spread mulch and manure, smooth tire tracks from our big events and will hopefully pull a hay wagon if we can get in time for our Fall Pumpkin Feeding Event.  Copyright © 2020  Nourishing Food for Thought (Non-profit 501.c.3), All rights reserved.
