Quote: Oh, yay, I'm so glad that worked out. I told her someone on BYC would snap them up!

Posting this for a friend here in central AR (Jacksonville/Cabot area): Guinea fowl eggs to hatch: rare violets, slates, and royal purples (combo set) for $10 per dozen. carlaATarkansaslivingDOTcom If you have trouble reaching her, I'll be happy to forward a message. I think these are...

Spunky~Chick~Mom : Hey everyone, I am not an arkansassy, but..... I live across the mississippi river.... in greenville. Hey Ya'll!!!! I was born in Greenville!

Is anyone going to be at the Argenta farmer's market Saturday morning? It's that time of year where I go at least once a week.

Quote: When they get ready, I'd really love to have some of the "miniature" ducks. I'm thinking of converting an area next to the koi pond to a duck habitat, but I'm thinking the smaller the better.

Quote: I might like a few, but I really want some ducks. Are you going to have Calls or Mandarins available any time?

I would love it if you guys who have been to these auctions would talk a little about them--I'm afraid I'd be clueless and overwhelmed and wouldn't know what to do or where to go. But I'm frequently scrambling to get rid of cockerels if we don't have time to butcher them.

Well, I don't use any chemicals, but I do have everything heavily mulched, and I know that holds in moisture. I can sure try sand and eggshells--thanks!

Quote: That's what we were wondering...I mean, since it's a raised bed, I could easily salt the edge of the boards around the bed. But then I worried if that salt got washed into the soil it could harm the plants. I'm remembering all those old-timey stories where conquerers would "salt the...

OK, this non-stop rain, right when my strawberries are fruiting--HELP! SLUGS! I'm hardly getting any of my berries, because the slugs get there first. I won't treat with pesticides, because the whole point of growing them myself is so they'll be chemical-free. I've got the old stand-by beer...

Quote: I was thinking this weekend about all the poor folks who work so hard to put Toadsuck Daze together!

Is anyone else underwater? You know, we live on the side of a mountain. I'd never have guessed we could be flooded!

Quote: I've got nice Orpingtons of varying ages--I'd be happy to sell you a couple. I'm about 45 minutes from you. Feel free to email me at ninjapoodles AT gmail DOT com.

Quote: FOr buying in bulk, at better prices, we really need those one or two growers that came to Cabot last year. I'll see what I can find out. The CAFM in NLR has much better variety, and everything is local and organic, but the prices are pretty much the same as grocery store prices, or...

Quote: Jackie, I go to the Argenta location almost every Saturday morning from May to October. You are welcome to meet me in Cabot and ride along any time! May-July are really fantastic months. What I usually do is try to find stuff when it's super-plentiful and take it home and freeze as...

Quote: Hmmmm...I'm not sure where the market is, but I know that the Basket-A-Month program delivers on the last Saturday of each month to the area next to the courthouse in Conway, so I'm assuming the farmer's market is in that area, as well. I think that they have a really strong program...

Just a shout out about the Certified Local Farmer's Market in Argenta (I know there is another great one in Conway that has many of the same folks). You central Arkies need to be getting over there on the weekends! Today's haul for me: Grassfed beef & pork, pastured, organic chickens, fresh...

You MUST have talked to them a lot, because these are the most laid-back quail I've ever seen in my life. Nothing startles them. It's uncanny.

I met Amanda yesterday, and we traded some stuff, with me coming home with 10 new quail, right about at "point of lay," but had not yet laid eggs. Well, I got my first egg from them TODAY! Perfect timing!

Someone tell me about the LR show! Is this the spring one at the fairgrounds?
