Hi Five Pete

This past week we got a new kitten, and later that day we met a new family who come to visit us here at Briden Farm. Their daughter spent a few minutes with our new kitten and come out and said, “I called him Peter there times, and He Meowed! He should be called Peter!” Thus, his name is Peter, although we usually call him Pete! 

Now, over the past couple of days, As You see in this video, I’ve been teaching Pete to do High Fives! 

Come Visit Pete, and all of us, here at Briden Farm. To Book Your Visit, Call Brian now at 902-907-0770

Growing A Self Sustaining Future

Creating Compost

When we think of growing self sustaining, we often think of gardening and the meat we can put on the plate. However, to be truly self sustaining we need go deeper than this! We really need to begin and work from the ground up! For only then can we truly become free! 

We need to produce our own fertilizer, preferably natural fertilizer, and develop our own food and feed. Without fertilizer, without the ability to create our own fertilizer we will always be beholden to others. Dependent on the System! 

Perhaps that is why it gives me such immense pleasure to see us turning animal waste, manure, hay, etc., into well developed compost. It will in turn be used in our gardens, and eventually to help grow livestock feed! 

While manure and compost may not be the end all and be all, it sure does provide an uncanny sense of accomplishment! Just knowing we’re that much closer to being able to grow our own food, and survive when the crap hits the fan!

One Glad Morning at Briden Farm

One Glad Morning

I woke to wagging tails, sunshine, birds singing, and decided to have my morning constitutional on the Lanai! 

Ok, so the lanai was the bare ground outside our door and the furniture consisted of a simple plastic chair. It is said that a Lanai has windows and screens and provides a coveted indoor/outdoor feeling. Well You could probably write a Screen Play about it, but the only window was on a beautiful morning, and the Coveted feeling was one that comes in such places after a day of much needed rains. 

Perhaps this Video captures it best… 

Although, to be honest, video or not it was one of those moments, captured in time, when everything comes together to make an unbelievable experience! Birds singing, the sound of the River at the foot of the hill, mists rising in the trees, and a good cup of homemade specialty coffee, made with Watkins Extracts
