Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

[dangerouschicken]

Lehman's has old school mills I love for around the farm, powered by the arm!

And Bob's Red Mill is in Milwaukie, Oregon. I'll have to see what they have that might be locally grown.

I'm slightly alergic to manual labor.

I want a mill I can hook up to the PTO on my tractor. RAWR!

I love Lehmans! They have the coolest ovens...sigh, too much $$ to get one to Alaska though.

Aw yeah, my husband wants the one for his Kitchen Aid. I don't really cook, I just sort of dictate flavors and realize concepts

Don't tell anyone.

My daughter just pushed my other daughter to the floor and screamed "Superman!"

Welcome to the Indoor Coop Forum.

DECISION MADE: I'm gonna try to trade eggs for fair trade coffee, and if the dolts don't go for it, I'm gonna drink foraged tea from wild mint growing on our place.

my hubby has started making his own beer, so then the only thing he ill need to buy would be he coffee. I don't like coffee, or tea. just water for me! I go the pioneer way and only buy the staples sugar, flour , salt. I would love to grind grain, but I still work, hubby works (outside home) so we don't have enough time yet to get EVERYTHING done on two days off!!! at least you are trying with the main food groups!!

You can get 50# bags of whole wheat at the feed stores generally for under 10 bucks. That's probably enough to last you a very long time and of course the quality will be higher since you'll be grinding it prior to use.

I just realized I should I have put "wild mint" in parenthesis. No no no, it really is wild mint.

I also have a "connection" in Texas that is sending me my favorite iced tea (Luzianne) in exchange for cherries. That's kind of outside the realm of exceptance, but I already made the deal before deciding to do this, and I can't look a gift horse in the mouth.

This has been a magnificent thread!

Are those mills and ovens less than 100 miles from your house?

Naughty naughty

PS You can't buy a car either unless it's made within 100 miles of your house. I know the idea was food but you spend much more fuel shipping a car than food. Even more damage to the planet.
