Illia 'my' health food store in Aberdeen, the 'Market place" sells about 10 kinds of Quinoa, raw brown, hulled yellow, hulled red. rolled, toasted red, whole fresh red...
They have it puffed as breakfast cereal, ground into different grades of meals and flours...and have the same for rices, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, hard red winter wheat, white wheats, buckwheat groats, rolled oats, toasted oats, barleys and ryes...and more.
And their prices are high as far as I am concerned, so if I can find it bulk in a sack somewhere else then all the better.

Brace yourselves Washingtonians...here comes the first storm of the season...been sprinkling on and off all day but it is raining in earnest now...and picking up...no wind yet here.
How are you Illia ?

This is one of many organic health food stores on line and their prices are very high, and then you have shipping costs too...but here you can get an idea of what the inside of a health food store is like...most have an herbal apothecary section, and home health aides and vitamins and supplements.
You can buy copper supplements you know ?
I do not know if that would help....my health food store also has bulk spice, hundreds of bulk spices, smells yummy !
I also saw local honey there GREG~~~~~~~~~~~~I also just saw local honey at the Elma Feed Store from Elma honey farm~~~~~~~~~wanted to let you know it is honet harvest time and should be all around you over there in Duvall...

It is good for you, and essential for a scratchy sore throat:
Coffee mug, add 1/4 lemon wedge squeezed and pich skin to zest the oil into the mug...add 1 heaping Tablespoon or 1 1/2 of your local honey....and then 1 shot (or 1/2 shot or 1 Tablespoons for kids) of good corn squeezings (sour mash whiskey) although bourbon or Canadian and Brandy or Scotch will do as well, we prefer Sour Mash....then top with hot water, stir and sip help close to the nose to decongest...yum.
Great Grandma's recipe.

Oh my, that is just awesome. . . .

About DE - . I see. Well, I don't think we'll need it quite yet.

Yes, I've been told we're to get quite a storm coming. We're getting high winds (both in speed and actual height) but nothing truly bad down below tree height, and we're getting rain. . .

Now, yesterday morning,

It was raining waterfalls. It was raining SOOO bad and so hard, I was terribly worried about the chickens! (It was 5 in the morning)

The best kind of Quinoa to get (color actually doesn't matter) is just in washed/raw form. Also, it isn't just about the copper with Ameraucanas and Araucanas - It is about the fact that Quinoa was a part of their natural diet before they were imported to the US.

I stapled heavy plastic on a couple of sides of the run on the tractor. Three sides are enclosed now. That should keep out some of the wind, rain, and snow if we get it. I'll take it off in the spring. They were not happy about it. You know how chickens are about change. They didn't like the noise of the staple gun either.

Another link for Illia...this price is better, but it is still too expensive...closer, in Colorado, but I am hunting for feed, a 50-80# sack of Quinoa for feed, not pretty hulled organic gold plated poop for humans...

I am still shocked that your having so much trouble with your logs... I'm about to get a 20k loan, buy a mill and do it myself!

My problem with Gypsy Vanners is that now that they're in America, they're being over-bred, over-rated, and ruined. . . There's even some breeders in the NW with poor conformation horses, and plenty with Gypsy Cob CROSSES at purebred price and advertisement.

But yes, the original is very beautiful

That is just like German sheps when they got popular here in the states. to this day I will not touch a American bred shepard
did you know that the dog most responsible for attacks is a german shepard?
