    Source for grape vines?

    Does anyone know a good source for grape vines? Looking for a good variety of wine grapes and seedless table grapes. For that matter- any suggestions on types that would do good in Central Il weather? Thanks Dave

    Hatchery with smallest min order?

    Hey Everyone I might add a few turkeys to my garden this spring and the local farm store doesn't know yet if they will have them this spring. They should know in the next few weeks, but if they don't I'll have to order some from a hatchery. Does anyone know which hatchery has the smallest...

    Growing plants without light?

    I was watching Bizarre Foods this weekend and they had a segment about a farm raising plants and sprouts in a dark room without light. I found it interesting and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knew of any resources on the subject. Thought it would be an interesting...

    Duck Egg Prices?

    I don't have ducks (yet?), but the guy at the farmers market who sells them prices his at $5/ dozen. He normally only has 8-10 dozen and sells out within an hour.

    tray treat suggestions?

    I normally move my Silkie's pen every week or so but have left it in the same spot for a few weeks because I want to kill off the grass there. I'm thinking about leaving it there till winter but want them to have some fresh plants to scratch at/ eat. I have a bunch of seed starting trays and...

    Best breed for urban homestead?

    Thanks guys. I'll have to see which hatchery the farm store is using this year. Must be a sign- looked out the back window this morning to see a wild tom in my yard right where I was going to put the pen at. I'll have to see if he makes a habit of it. I think there was a couple of hens in...

    Liability when giving away eggs to food pantry?

    Best bet on that question is to check with the food pantry directly. They probably have policies on donated "home grown" produce, meat, & eggs. If they accept it and distribute it, it's probably their responsibility. Not a lawyer but dealt with quite a few food pantries during my social...
