Hi Cristy from Menominee MI here. I'm as close to Wisconsin as a person can get other then living there. I was born in Marinette, most of my family live in WI, vacation there every year, and spend half of my day there. Plus, I'm a die-hard Packers fan. Go PACK!

Buck Creek, congrats on the ribbons!

I have been processing grapes like crazy, and there are tons more out there! I have not even touched a lot of the apples!!!!  th

The homemade applesauce and pie filling, along with the grape jelly and grape juice are worth all the work though!

Hello hello- bringing up the Southern Wi faction down here... it's fun being in this area as MadCity Chickens filmed around here, I know and work with some of the people in the film!
madcitychickens.com

We have 16 hens and two roosters, along with a pony, quarter horse, NPGA pygmy goats, and ten spoiled barncats... just put our wonderful 10 yr old lab to sleep due to cancer, so are thinking of looking for a homeless dawg when when I go on maternity leave in Nov...

Our chicks are a mishmosh... Delawares, Ameracaunas (just got our first green/blue eggies!)  buff orps, red stars, RIR and a silver laced wyandotte, and a psychotic Ancona....

4 quiet acres in South Central WI, enveloping a hopeful family of 17 years.  Horses and ponies, various heritage breed chickens, NPGA Pygmy goats, and a working agility collie.  Also vintage Porsche repair and tons of free range children.

littlefarm_bighappy from Waupaca. Sorry to hear about your dog but congrats on the new baby. Hope you share pics when you have it.  love



All my pullets have laid their first egg except my EE. I got 3 new layers in one day last week.    thumbsup Hopefully "Biddy" won't wait forever to lay.

Those EE's take longer so be patient!

Ok, back to the scheduled program of grapes.......
